Students must have completed the 30 credit hours comprising Business One before they will be admitted to the B.Comm. and/or B.Comm.(Co-op.) programs.
Students must apply for admission or re-admission to the B.Comm. and/or B.Comm.(Co-op.) programs through apply.mun.ca.
Application deadlines are strictly enforced.
I’m a current Memorial student. How do I apply for the B.Comm. or B.Comm.(Co-op.)?
First, you need to be declared as a Business One student. You may do this by contacting the Registrar’s Office and indicated you would like to change your program of study.
If you have already completed Memorial courses, some of them may be able to be used towards Business One requirements. Please contact an academic advisor at the business faculty as soon as possible by booking an appointment through Navigate or emailing busihelp@mun.ca.\
What are the admission requirements for the B.Comm. and B.Comm.(Co-op.) besides the required courses for Business One?
Students who have completed Business One and are ready to apply for either the B.Comm. or B.Comm. (Co-op.) must:
be declared as a Business One student; and
have completed all Business One courses with an overall average of at least 65 per cent and an overall cumulative average of at least 60 per cent.*
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.
Both the B.Comm. and B.Comm.(Co-op.) are competitive. Meeting the minimum admission requirements doesn’t guarantee you’ll be accepted into a program.
* Note about terminology:
Overall average in Business One 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 Business One courses, don’t include these when calculating your average. Instead, divide the number of courses with numerical grades to calculate your Business One overage average.
Cumulative average is based on your entire academic career at Memorial. This may include courses you have completed that aren’t used toward Business One requirements. If you have only completed the required Business One courses, your cumulative average and Business One average will be the same.
 
I am of Indigenous ancestry. Are there seats reserved for Indigenous students? How do I apply for them?
We reserve up to three positions per year in undergraduate programming for applicants of Indigenous ancestry who meet the admission requirements for our programs. When completing the application for admission through apply.mun.ca, applicants will have the opportunity to provide proof of Indigenous ancestry to support their application for one of the allocated positions.
How will non-numerical grades be considered in the admissions process?
Non-numerical grades in Business One courses are not used to calculate admission averages. Applicants must have completed a minimum of 15 credit hours at Memorial to be considered for admission to the B.Comm. or B.Comm.(Co-op.).
Is it competitive to get into these programs?
Yes. Admission to the B.Comm. and B.Comm.(Co-op.) programs is competitive and selective. The primary criterion used to determine successful applications is overall academic achievement.
Is one program more competitive than the other?
