Students with Advanced Standing
Transfer students with 3.0 or more courses do not receive direct entry into BMOS. You must complete 5.0 courses at Western with a minimum 70% average in order to be considered for admission to BMOS Specializations. If you wish to pursue Honors, additional averages and requirements will apply.
We understand that you may arrive with a number of Business-related transfer credits.
You should contact us immediately to begin the evaluation process. The resulting evaluation will be conditional upon entering a BMOS degree program.
The DAN Management Advisors will only be evaluating courses that are similar to MOS courses (ie: Business, Accounting, Marketing..). It is your responsibility to contact the other Departments for evaluations (for example: an Economics 1020TRN should be evaluated by the Department of Economics).
Credit evaluation is a lengthy process.
Please be patient as we go through them and ensure we are making the best decision for your case. It is wise to start as early as possible to ensure you will not miss out before the registration period ends or courses have filled up.
It is also important to note that we are accredited by several professional organizations so courses will never be given as exactly equivalent, but will always be used in substitute for a MOS requirement. Typical language used is MOS 3000-level (antirequisite to MOS 3330A/B) which means that we are using the course as a substitute for MOS 3330A/B; but it is not exactly equivalent.
In some cases, you may be required to repeat a credit and lose the transfer credit you've received.
For example: Introduction to Canadian Taxation is required for the CPA designation; if you have received a Chinese Taxation course credit, it will pertain to Chinese regulations and not Canadian, thus we will require you to take our MOS courses.
