Equitable Admissions Policy

The School of Health and Human Performance has an Equitable Admissions Policy which is described in the Undergraduate Calendar (for full details please see the calendar).  Below is an excerpt from the calendar:

Purpose of the Policy:
This policy is intended to create opportunities to increase the support and admission, and graduation of students who self-identify as belonging to historically underrepresented groups: Persons of Aboriginal/Indigenous ancestry (especially Mi'kmaq), members of racialized groups, persons of African descent (especially African Nova Scotians), Acadians, persons with disabilities, and persons belonging to minority sexual orientation and/or gender identity (SOGI) groups.

Eligibility:
Persons eligible to be considered under this policy must self-identify. Although the School of Health and Human Performance is committed to supporting eligible students from across Canada, preference will be given to those who are a resident of Atlantic Canada or who have a parent residing in Atlantic Canada at the time of application.

Consideration for admission under this policy is optional. Applicants wishing to be considered under this policy must identify on the undergraduate application form.

For Graduate applicants: Consideration for admission under this policy is optional. Applicants wishing to be considered under this policy must identify on the graduate application form.
