In addition, applicants must have completed at least one course in
psychology in their undergraduate program. If this has not been
completed, a course in psychology will become an added requirement
during year one of the program.
Also, effective 2014 (for students beginning in September 2014)
applicants must have completed one university-level course in
mathematics (either calculus or linear algebra) or a Grade 12 U or M
mathematics course (with a grade of 60% or higher). If this has not
been completed, students will be required to take MAT-103 (History of
Mathematics) during year one of the program.
While the first year of the program requires part-time studies, the final
year of the program must be completed as a full-time student.
Eligible applicants will be interviewed by the Admissions Committee
of the Education Department concerning their interest and
qualifications for a career in teaching. Meeting minimum requirements
does not guarantee an interview or admission to the program.
Limitations of facilities, personnel or other considerations may place
restrictions on admission to the Bachelor of Education program.

Other
Hold a degree from an accredited English medium university
in an English speaking country (i.e. Canada, U.S., U.K.,
Australia, New Zealand, parts of South Africa), with a minimum
two years of full-time studies at that university.
Part-time Enrolment
Redeemer University College serves part-time as well as full-time
students. Those who wish to work towards a degree or certificate
on a part-time basis must seek admission and provide the same
documentation as those applying for full-time studies. Students who do
not plan to complete a degree should refer to the admission requirements
for continuing or occasional students. The Consecutive Teacher
Education Program permits part-time status for the first year only and
requires full-time enrolment in the final year of the program.
Students who begin to take courses without specific plans for completion
of a degree or certificate may later, upon presentation of the appropriate
documentation, apply for admission to the degree program. If admitted,
the student may apply the courses earned as a non-degree student
towards degree requirements, provided the courses fit the program.
Many part-time students choose to audit courses instead of taking them
for credit. For regulations governing auditing see page 50. Fees for
auditing and part-time enrolment may be found on page 22.
Admission to Non-Degree Studies
Admission to Certificate Programs
Applicants who wish to complete one year of study at Redeemer
may apply for the one-year certificate programs. Certificate programs
require specific courses in core areas as well as elective courses. A full
description of program content is found on page 67.
Applicants for a certificate program are required to satisfy the regular
admission. Students in the program may pursue full-time or parttime
studies. Completion of a certificate program may or may not be
completed in one year.
Admission as a Continuing Student
Those persons who have already earned a degree may be admitted as
continuing students. College and university transcripts must be provided.
It is not uncommon for individuals to come to Redeemer University
College for one year as continuing students in order to be exposed to a
Christian perspective.
Admission as an Occasional Student
An occasional student is one who takes one course per term but is not
admitted to a degree program and does not have a university degree. To
be considered for this status, one must have fulfilled the requirements for
mature student admission or must be a secondary school graduate who
gives evidence of the potential to successfully complete undergraduate
university courses. If the student should apply and be admitted to the
university’s degree program, the student may petition the university
to apply the course(s) taken as an occasional student towards degree
program requirements.
A student who is in the last or next to last term of secondary school
may also be considered for this status, provided that the student has an
80% average or above in advanced level or Grade 12 U courses, has the
permission of his or her principal, and is not using the course(s) for the
completion of secondary school graduation requirements.
