• If the average grade in the second year of the Fleming program is B- (70%) or higher, students may be considered for admission into the Honours BA Environmental Studies program at Laurier.
• Applications would be made by using OUAC 105D application on the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) website.
• Laurier will grant 10.0 total transfer credits for the Fleming programs considered, per the table below. Note that 5.0 of these are the same across all programs (3.5 GES credits + 1.5 Biology credits), whereas two of the programs have additional specific BIOL and WASC (Applied Water Science) credits (in italics), followed by a specified number of UU credits.
