A. ADMISSION/READMISSION

1. Applicants for admission to the School of Social Work must complete a School of Social Work application and submit it to the Office of the Registrar by March 1st of the year in which admission is sought. Applications received after this deadline will be considered only if a place is available in the School of Social Work. Applicants will normally be notified of admissions decisions by May 15th. Approved applicants to the School of Social Work will be admitted in Fall semester only.

NOTE: Academic Standards and Promotion regulations outlined below shall apply between the date of application and the subsequent Fall semester.

Applicants for readmission to the School of Social Work must complete a School of Social Work application and submit it to the Office of the Registrar by March 1 for Fall semester readmission, February 1 for Spring semester readmission, and October 1 for Winter semester readmission. Applications received after these deadlines will be considered only if a place is available in the School of Social Work.

2. Students who have not registered for courses at Memorial University of Newfoundland for either of the two semesters immediately preceding their application for admission/readmission to the School of Social Work must complete a general application for admission/readmission to the University and submit it to the Office of the Registrar prior to the deadline date as outlined in the University Diary.
   
3. Applicants must have achieved an average of at least 65% in the courses comprising the last 30 credit hours completed by the deadline date for application.

4. Admission and readmission to the School of Social Work is on the basis of competition for a limited number of places. Selection of candidates will be based on academic standing, relevant work/volunteer experience, and personal suitability for a career in social work. Academic standing for the purpose of selection of candidates is defined as the candidate’s overall academic performance, average in the last 30 credit hours, and in the 45 prerequisite credit hours noted below. The School may, at its discretion, give preference to applicants with special needs, provided that they have met the minimum grade and course requirements for admission to the School.

5. The School reserves the right to deny admission/readmission to any student, if in the judgement of the Admissions Committee, the student is deemed unsuitable for admission/readmission to the School.

6. To be considered for admission to the School of Social Work, applicants must have successfully completed by the application deadline 45 credit hours. Included in these 45 credit hours must be:

a) six credit hours in English;

In addition, in accordance with ACADEMIC STANDARDS AND PROMOTION regulations, a minimum grade of 65% is required in each of Social Work 2510 and 2700.

**Students who have completed Psychology 2025 may not obtain credit for either Psychology 2010 or Psychology 2011. They will, however, be required to complete Psychology 2012 and 3 additional credit hours in Psychology beyond first year level.

7. Students transferring into the Social Work program from other recognized universities must meet the UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS - ADMISSION/READMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY (UNDERGRADUATE) of this university, and apply in competition to the School. A detailed assessment of the student’s transcript(s) will be made to determine course equivalents.

8. An unsuccessful applicant has the right to appeal against the decision of the Admissions Committee not to offer him/her a place, if it is felt by the applicant that the decision was reached on the grounds other than those specified in paragraphs 1-7 above. The appeal should be made in writing within fourteen days of the notification of the decision and should be directed to the Director of the School of Social Work. The letter should state clearly and fully the grounds of the appeal. If the Director, in consultation with the Registrar, judges the grounds to be sufficient, the formal appeals mechanism will be initiated.
