What is it like at Bishop's?
The same whatever program you pick.
- Who gets a room
- All first-year students who accept their offer and apply to residence with the first $500 deposit before 15 June (Fall entry); out-of-province students included (no province condition)
- Money just for your marks
- $10,000 for 90% and up, can renew each year
- First-years who rate it good or excellent
- Not published
- Finish their degree
- Not published
- Ways in without the usual marks
- Mature student admission. For applicants who do not meet the usual academic requirements. Bishop's must be satisfied that the applicant can succeed, usually through at least three university-level courses in one semester part-time, an evaluation of earlier studies, and/or 'a history of professional experience with increasing responsibility'. Case-by-case; a CV (résumé) and letter of intent are required. Who: Applicants 21 or older by 1 September (Fall) or 1 January (Winter) who have not been registered full-time in high school, college or CEGEP (a Quebec public college) for at least two academic years (five years if the earlier studies were university).
- Part-time general interest studies, then degree admission. Take up to 11 credits a semester without being admitted to a program, then apply to a degree. Students without the formal admission requirements 'may be evaluated for degree admission based on their performance': normally three courses (9 credits) in one semester with at least a 65% average (75% for the Williams School of Business). Credits earned can count toward the degree. Who: Canadian citizens and permanent residents aged 19 or older by the first day of classes.
