University of Regina

Regina is one of the few Canadian universities that has already published a Fall 2027 admission rule: the requirements page states the university "will implement new high school admission requirements for those being admitted starting Fall 2027," and the four-course chart is that rule. The deadline page is a different story — every date on it is published generically, with no cycle year attached to March 15, August 15, or any program exception.

Treat the four-course chart as the confirmed Fall 2027 academic rule, but treat every date as an unlabelled recurring pattern. Recheck the deadline page before the Fall 2027 submission window opens.

Regina publishes more than 16,600 students, 10 Faculties, 280+ academic programs, over 97,000 alumni, 21 research centres and institutes, 9 Canada Research Chairs, and approximately 3,000 academic and staff employees. It became an independent, degree-granting university on July 1, 1974.

These are Regina's own marketing counts. The Experience U of R page separately says "almost 17,000" students, so treat the headline number as directional rather than audited enrolment data.

Regina federates with Campion College, Luther College, and First Nations University of Canada. Campion is "Canada's only Jesuit undergraduate college" and publishes "over $125,000 in additional scholarships, personalized academic advising, volunteer learning opportunities, and reserved seats in Campion classes" — and states "You do not need to be Catholic to become a Campion student." Luther publishes personalized advising, additional scholarship opportunities, and its own residence, The Student Village. First Nations University of Canada is "Canada's only national Indigenous-owned post-secondary institution," with campuses in Regina, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert; Regina "accredits our courses, programs, and instructors, and all University of Regina classes are open to FNUniv students."

Students first complete Pre-Social Work, "a 30-credit hour, one-year program that prepares you with the academic foundation needed to apply to the BSW," and those 30 credits transfer toward the 120-credit BSW.
