Internal transfer refers to the process by which a student registered in one faculty would apply to transfer into a different faculty. If you are currently an undergraduate student at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and wish to apply for admission into the Faculty of Mathematics, you will be applying for an internal transfer.

| BBA/BCS Double Degree students looking to transfer into CS | Double Degree Transfers | BBA/BCS Double Degree Advisors |
| Math students (including CFM students)Â looking to transfer into CS | Computer Science Transfers | CS advisors |
| BBA/BMath Double Degree students looking to transfer into a Math and Business program | Math/Business Programs | Math/Business advisors |
| Non-Math students interested in transferring into CFM | Transfer to Computing and Financial Management | CFM program advisor |
| Non-Math students interested in transferring into Math/CPA | Transfer to Math Business/Accounting Programs | Math/CPA program advisor |
| Math students looking to change their current plan to another one | Declaring Majors | Advisor for the plan of interest |

Things to consider:
- Applicants who are interested in admission into Computer Science (CS) should speak to a CS advisor as well as an internal transfer advisor for the Faculty of Mathematics.Ìý Students will need to submit two online applications, each with their own submission deadlines.
- Students may not come into the Math Faculty on a work term, the first term in Math must be a study term. Please be aware of your co-op sequence and do not submit an application for admission into Math on a scheduled work term.Ìý
- Students applying for co-op in Math will be assessed based on the program they are registered in when they submit their application. Any students registered in a regular program at the time they apply will be considered as such. Any pending program changes that would take place in their home faculty will not be taken into account.Ìý
- Students wishing to be considered for admission directly into a program/plan of their choice should indicate this on their application.
- The internal transfer process can be competitive and subject to availability/space. There is no guarantee that students will be eligible for either co-op or their requested program/plan.
- All applicants who are not accepted into their program/plan of choice will, by default, be considered for admission into Honours Mathematics. Successful applicants typically spend at least one term in Honours Math before declaring a program/plan of their choice.
- Students who are or will be starting in 1A must spend at least one term in their home Faculty before being eligible to apply for internal transfer into Math.ÌýHigh school grades are not considered during internal transfer.
Admission requirements:
Admission requirements for applications for Winter 2026 will be posted during the Spring 2025 application term.
Who would not be eligible for admission consideration?:
- Students who have not completed at least one full-time term at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵÂ
- Students currently enrolled in the BASE programÂ
- Students who have previously failed the BASE program (regardless if they are subsequently admitted into a degree studies program in another faculty)
- Students enrolled in the 2 + 2 planÂ
- External transfer or readmitted students who have not completed at least one full-time term at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ
What should I do since I do not meet the minimum requirements?:
Watch for the minimum requirements for Winter 2026 applications to be posted in mid Spring 2025 term.Ìý
What are the requirements to enrol in honours Math courses?:
- Permission from your home Faculty (see your current academic advisor).
- Non-Math students interested in enrolling in restricted Honours Math courses should get in touch with Donna Woolcott.Ìý
Application process:
- A student interested in internal transfer into Math must communicate their intention with a Math internal transfer advisor before submitting their application. Students may contact us by email.
- Internal Transfer applications are processed a term in advance. Applications for the Winter 2026 term will open August 1, 2025, and must be submitted by August 29, 2025.
- Students who are scheduled for a co-op work term in Winter 2026Â are not eligible to apply for Winter 2026 transfer. Such students must wait and apply for transfer into Math for their next scheduled study term.
- Students applying to CS should be aware that there is a different, earlier for those applications as well.
- Internal Transfer applications can only be submitted . Select the application titled ‘Transfer from outside of Math to Math’.
- Students may be enrolled in courses in the term prior to their intended start term with Math, however, in these cases, any offers of transfer would be conditional upon a student maintaining the minimum requirements for transfer. Failure to maintain the minimum requirements would result in the offer of transfer being revoked.
- Please note, enrolling in courses the term prior to your intended start term in Math carries risk. If an offer of transfer into Math is revoked then there can be consequences to your status in your home faculty. Students should speak with the Math internal transfer advisor as well as their home faculty advisor about the potential risks.
- The internal transfer offers are normally communicated to students four to five weeks after the application deadline.
- Internal transfer offers are sent to students’ campus email accounts. Please monitor your account regularly and respond to offers of admission promptly.
- Successful applicants must formally accept the offer to officially change Faculties. Such students must also communicate with a Math internal transfer advisor to help with their course selection for their first term in Math.Ìý
