Standard admission

• Minimum of 60 post-secondary arts and/or science credits (18 must be science credits, nine of which must be at the second-year level), with a minimum GPA of 'B' (3.00/4.33), from a recognized post-secondary institution; or
• Completion of the Certificate in Environmental Practice (CEP) program (18 must be science credits, nine of which must be at the second-year level) at Royal Roads University, with a minimum GPA of 'B' (3.00/4.33). (The Certificate in Environmental Practice is no longer offered at RRU, however graduates of CEP may be eligible for admission to BEP).

Flexible admission

Applicants can be assessed for admission on the basis of their skills, knowledge, and background developed outside traditional learning structures or through a combination of academic and non-academic experience. These experiences must demonstrate sufficient knowledge, skills, and abilities to compensate for, and commensurate with, missing academic requirements, either in terms of credits obtained and/or GPA achieved.

Applicants who do not meet the Standard Admission requirements will be considered for flexible admission and assessed as follows:

• All applicants for the BSc EP must demonstrate (a) completion of the requisite 18 science credits, 9 of which must be at least at the 2nd year level, OR (b) specific equivalent competency through their work experience.
• Applicants who only miss the GPA requirements, but otherwise have the credits required for entry, will normally need at least three years of work or relevant volunteer experience, or combination of work experience and volunteer experience.
• Applicants who miss the post-secondary credit requirements will normally need at least five years of work, or a combination of academic achievement, work experience, or volunteer experience.
• All applicants must demonstrate the knowledge and skills normally gained during the completion of a two-year diploma.
