Students interested in completing an undergraduate business degree at Memorial can apply directly to the bachelor of commerce (B.Comm.) degree. Students who are interested in the bachelor of commerce (co-operative) (B.Comm.(Co-op.)) can apply to that program after completing Year One Commerce as a B.Comm. student.

Bachelor of commerce (B.Comm.)

Applications are considered on a rolling basis. You are encouraged to apply by:

• Fall (September) semester intake: March 1
• Winter (January) semester intake: Oct. 1
• Spring (May) semester intake: Feb. 1

You may apply for admission into B.Comm. directly from high school. To apply, indicate the Faculty of Business Administration as your faculty and Bachelor of Commerce as your program of study in the appropriate place on the university application for admission. Direct entry into the faculty from high school is subject to meeting the general admission requirements for Memorial University and admissibility into Mathematics 1000, 1005, 1090 or 109 A/B.

Be sure to check the general admission application deadlines on the Admissions page.

Current Memorial students may declare B.Comm. by emailing registrar@mun.ca.

Bachelor of commerce (co-operative) (B.Comm. (Co-op.))

To apply for the B.Comm.(Co-op.) program, you will need to apply as a “Current Memorial student” on the university application for admission. Ensure you select the appropriate entry term (Fall for Term 1 or Winter for Term 2) and select “Bachelor of commerce (Co-operative)” as your academic program.

Application deadlines:

• Fall admission - Term 1 and Term 3 only: May 15
• Winter admission - Term 2 only: Nov. 1
• Spring admission – readmission only: March 1

B.Comm. (Co-op.) admission requirements

Students who have completed Year One Commerce and are ready to apply for the B.Comm. (Co-op.) must:

• be declared as a B.Comm. student; and
• have completed all Year One Commerce courses with an overall average of at least 65 per cent and an average of at least 60 per cent over the last 30 credit hours completed.*

Students applying to the B.Comm. (Co-op.) must have a term of five, which demonstrates they have successfully completed five courses in one semester.

The B.Comm.(Co-op.) is competitive. Meeting the minimum admission requirements doesn’t guarantee you’ll be accepted into the program.

* Note about terminology:

Overall average in Year One Commerce courses means an average of 65 per cent on the 10 required courses, not 65 per cent in each course. You can calculate this average by adding up all of your Business One course grades and dividing by 10.

If you have a PAS or transfer credit (T) used within your Year One Commerce courses, don’t include these when calculating your average. Instead, divide the number of courses with numerical grades to calculate your Year One Commerce overall average.

The average over the last 30 credit hours (CH) is calculated as the last 10 courses completed (if all 3 CH courses). If any courses are repeated only the highest grade will count and an additional course will be included to add to the 30 CH.
