Admissions Planning
Fall 2027 admission planning
Start with the 70% general route, then audit the program
Ontario applicants currently need Grade 12 U English, five additional U/M courses and a 70% average. Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Mathematics and other programs add prerequisites or higher published thresholds. Every applicant also enters Redeemer’s Christian community through a statement-of-faith requirement.
General Ontario minimum
70%
English plus the best five eligible Grade 12 U/M courses; co-op courses do not count.
BHSc and BKin
80%
Both publish higher minima and credential-specific science or mathematics prerequisites.
Published 2027 visits
January 29 to March 17
Three explicit 2027 campus visit days are live; the Fall 2027 class start is not.
International deadline conflict
Official pages publish April 1 and May 1
The international route says applications close April 1 of the entry year. The undergraduate FAQ says May 1 for applicants who need a study permit. Plan to April 1 and ask Admissions to confirm the operative Fall 2027 date in writing.
Admission route audit
| Route | Published requirement | Planning boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario high-school applicant | Grade 12 U English, five more Grade 12 U/M courses and a minimum 70% average. O-level and co-op courses cannot be used in the calculation. | The average uses English plus the best five eligible U/M courses. Program prerequisites and higher published averages still apply. |
| Other Canadian high-school applicant | Meet the province-specific English and academic-course pattern. You need a 70% minimum. Québec applicants need two 603/604 English courses. They also need one year of general CÉGEP (a Quebec college most Quebec students attend before university). | The current page publishes a separate pattern for each province and territory. It does not publish one universal course list. |
| International applicant | A high-school diploma or equivalent. A 70% Ontario-equivalent average. A statement of faith. English evidence when required. | Current English options include TOEFL iBT 86, IELTS 6.5, CAEL 70, PTE 56 or Duolingo 110. International entry is normally fall only. |
| University transfer | The current admission standing is C- or 60%. Transferable courses must be relevant. They normally carry at least C-. | Applicants with fewer than eight post-secondary courses can be assessed. The school uses both post-secondary and high-school work. |
| College or Bible-college transfer | The current overall minimum is B- or 70%. Course equivalency and credit depend on program fit. They also depend on grades, accreditation and submitted syllabi. | Redeemer publishes a maximum of 30 transferred courses. This is toward a 40-course general program. But individual evaluations are not guaranteed. |
| Mature applicant | You are normally age 21 or older. You have no university or college study. You have no full-time high school for at least two years. You show evidence of academic potential. | Admission can include probation or an Admissions Committee interview. Mature status does not create an automatic offer. |
| Health Sciences or Kinesiology | BHSc and BKin publish an 80% minimum with named Grade 12 U science and math prerequisites; BSc versions publish their own course patterns. | Check the exact credential. BHSc, BKin and related BSc pathways do not use the same prerequisites. |
| Bachelor of Education | This route is a consecutive second-degree route. It requires a completed undergraduate degree. It also requires program-specific teaching-subject evidence. | It is not a direct-entry undergraduate teaching degree. Campus housing is not provided for BEd students. |

Programs and Pathways
Degrees, majors and Christian Core
Match the credential, prerequisites and experiential form
Redeemer publishes BA, BBA, BSc, BHSc, BKin, BCoMS and consecutive BEd study. These cover more than 35 programs and streams. Traditional undergraduate degrees include a ten-course Christ-centred Core. But program prerequisites, degree maps, internships and co-op eligibility stay credential-specific.
BA, BBA, BSc, BHSc, BKin and BCoMS
Redeemer's live inventory covers more than 35 majors, streams and credentials. These span liberal arts, sciences, business, health and media.
Distinction: Use the degree designation on the program page. A related major or stream is not interchangeable with a different credential.
Christ-centred Core Curriculum
Traditional undergraduate degrees include a ten-course interdisciplinary Core woven across the four-year program.
Distinction: The Core is a university-wide academic feature. It is not a standalone major or an optional faith add-on.
Health Sciences
Redeemer offers BHSc and BSc Health Sciences pathways. These have distinct admission prerequisites, scientific breadth and research or internship options.
Distinction: The program page does not recommend the general BSc major. It does not recommend it for graduate study or employment in Health Sciences.
Kinesiology
Students can pursue a BKin or a BSc Kinesiology pathway with labs, research and named human-movement coursework.
Distinction: Both publish an 80% minimum, but the prerequisite course lists differ by degree.
School of Business
The inventory includes BBA majors in Accounting, Finance, Management and Marketing plus a BA General Business route.
Distinction: Co-op is listed for Accounting, Management, Marketing and Not-for-Profit Management. It is not listed for every business or university program.
Media Production and BCoMS
Media Production combines academic study with production facilities, project work and internship possibilities.
Distinction: The BCoMS designation and the Media Production major are their own things. You should not group them into a generic communications degree.
Mission and Ministry
The BA route combines biblical, theological and practical ministry study. It is one of the areas currently named for co-op.
Distinction: Mission and Ministry co-op availability does not imply universal paid ministry placement.
Social Work
The BA Social Work stream includes discipline-specific study. It also includes field or internship learning within the Applied Social Sciences context.
Distinction: Program-level placements are distinct from Redeemer’s formal co-op streams.
Consecutive Bachelor of Education
A two-year, four-term, 60-credit second degree offers Primary/Junior and Junior/Intermediate qualification routes.
Distinction: Applicants need an undergraduate degree first. BEd tuition, awards and housing rules differ. They are not the same as traditional undergraduate study.
Credential boundary
BHSc and BSc Health Sciences do not share identical prerequisites or degree maps. BKin and BSc Kinesiology are also distinct. The BEd is a second degree after undergraduate study. Media Production uses the BCoMS family rather than a generic communications label.

Residence and Campus Fit
Ancaster housing audit
Separate the current 2026–27 guarantee from Fall 2027
Redeemer owns a communal residence system of townhouses, Charis, Augustine Hall and Luther Court.

Official tuition and award sources
Cost Planning
| Tuition | Tuition depends on your program, student status, and year. Check domestic and international tuition on the official fee schedule. |
|---|---|
| Scholarships | Check automatic entrance awards, competitive major awards, faculty scholarships, and international-student awards. |
| Living Costs | Budget for residence or rent, food, books, and transit. Also budget for health insurance, winter clothing, and emergency funds. |
| Proof of Funds | International students should confirm current study-permit financial requirements and school-specific cost estimates. |
Student Life and Support
Fit Signals
| Community | Small university profile: compare class feel and access to professors. Also compare student clubs and how easy it is to build community. |
|---|---|
| Student Supports | Review academic advising, accessibility services, mental health supports, international student services, and writing centres. |
| Clubs and Leadership | Look for discipline clubs, cultural groups, entrepreneurship programs, varsity/intramural sports, and volunteering. |
| First-Year Transition | Ask how orientation, peer mentorship, residence programming, and advising help students settle in. |
Co-op, Research, and Career Outcomes
Co-op, internships, practicums and career support
Co-op belongs to six named study areas, not every program
Redeemer currently names Accounting, Marketing, Management, Not-for-Profit Management, Kinesiology and Mission & Ministry for co-op. Other students may use academic internships, Education practicums, research, off-campus study and Career Centre support, but those experiences do not automatically create a co-op designation.
Named co-op programs
Redeemer currently names Accounting, Marketing, Management, Not-for-Profit Management, Kinesiology and Mission & Ministry for co-operative education.
Two eight-month work terms
Co-op students prepare through career-development and job-search learning before two supervised eight-month work terms.
CEWIL accreditation
Redeemer states that its co-operative education programs are accredited by Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada.
Competitive placement boundary
Career Centre job posting and employer connection support do not promise a job. They also do not promise an employer match or successful work-term completion.
Academic internships
Internships normally require at least 120 workplace hours in one term. They can be paid or unpaid. They include faculty-approved academic requirements.
Internship eligibility
Optional 380 and 480 internships publish departmental GPA (grade point average) rules. They also publish instructor-permission rules. This is unless the program requires the internship.
Education practicums
BEd practicums progress from classroom observation toward guided responsibility for teaching, management, assessment and instruction.
Career Centre
It provides one-on-one career guidance and job-search support. It offers workshops, employer connections and job fairs. This covers co-op and non-co-op study.
Fall 2027 experiential inventory
The program structures are live. But Fall 2027 employers, placements, recruiting dates, pay and course availability are not fully published.
Placement and compensation boundary
Co-op uses two supervised eight-month work terms. Academic internships normally need at least 120 hours in one term. They can be paid or unpaid. Career Centre job postings and employer support do not guarantee a placement, a pay level or a successful work term. The complete Fall 2027 employer inventory is not published.

| Research Access | For graduate-school or professional-school pathways, look for undergraduate research assistant roles and lab access. |
