ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA To be eligible for admission consideration to the Bachelor of Computing program, students in other Faculties or Schools at Queen's University must have taken a university preparatory Mathematics course. Admission to a full-time degree program is based on the following: FIRST-YEAR APPLICANTS (defined as students who have fewer than 24.0 transferable* credit units)
-
must have passed a minimum of 18.0 transferable* credit units

*Transferable credit units are those with equivalent credit units in the School of Computing / Faculty of Arts and Science.

At that time, applicants may be considered only for part-time admission on probation. See Number 14 in the Admission section of the Arts and Science calendar. (Please click here to see this section of the calendar.)
A student having attempted 132.0, or more, units at the time of assessment and has a Cumulative GPA of less than 1.90 will be deemed ineligible to proceed to an Honours Degree. The academic standing "Ineligible to Proceed to an Honours Degree" shall be placed on the student's transcript. More information is available on Academic Regulation 13.8.1.
Cumulative GPA Calculation
Your academic record will continue to be relevant in your new plan. Courses that were not passed in your previous plan will count as failures in the Faculty of Arts and Science.
Please note that all credits will transfer to Arts and Science, Kinesiology, Physical and Health Education and Music. For more information please refer to Academic Regulation 10 and Academic Regulation 13.

After accepting an offer of admission to the School of Computing, students should visit the Faculty of Arts & Science website for registration related information.
