Is your program offered online?

No. Some courses may be offered online, but there is a requirement for in-person attendance of most classes.

Do you accept transfer students from other Health Sciences programs?

Do you maintain a waitlist for the BHSc program?

Due to the competitive nature of BHSc programs, many applicants do not receive an offer. Each discipline maintains a waitlist, and we will continue to monitor and send offers as seats become available throughout the Spring and Summer, as late as the first week of September.

Waitlisted applicants who do not receive an offer within this time period must reapply for the following cycle if they wish to be considered for admission again. The waitlist resets annually.

Do previous Dal students have a priority over those with previous credits from other post-secondary institutions?

No. Applicants who have graduated from or who are currently attending Dal do not have priority or preference over applicants from other post-secondary institutions.

Can I have my qualifications, transcripts, and other documentation evaluated in advance of the official application being submitted?

No. The program will only review transcripts, qualifications, and other documentation once an application has been formally submitted during the admissions period.

I am a previous/current 17吃瓜网在线 student. Do I need to upload a copy of my 17吃瓜网在线 transcript with my application?

  • Military or national service obligations

Applicants may be required to provide documentation to verify the circumstances outlined in their deferral request.
