Brock University is a public research university in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. It is the only university in Canada in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, at the centre of Canada's Niagara Peninsula on the Niagara Escarpment. The university bears the name of Maj.-General Sir Isaac Brock, who was responsible for defending Upper Canada against the United States during the War of 1812.

How Brock actually handles things
From the OUAC’s Guidance Dialogues Resource Guide (Spring 2026), which OUAC publishes for guidance counsellors rather than students. Read the original. Policies change — confirm anything you’re about to act on.
- If you repeat a course
We will use the highest grade to calculate the average.
- Summer school, night school, e-learning and private school
We treat all Ministry-approved high school courses equally. • If the home school does not submit the course via the OUAC according to established timelines, the student must email the Admissions Office (futurestudent@brocku.ca) to provide proof of registration in the course. • It is the student's responsibility to ensure we receive their midterm and final grades. • Space is not guaranteed in all programs.
- Your Grade 11 marks
Early offers of admission may be based on final 3U/M and 4U/M grades, when available. All offers are conditional until we receive final 4U/M grades.
- Whether your OUAC ranking matters
When a student indicates more than 1 Brock program on their application, we will consider the highest choice listed for Brock first.
If a student is not eligible for their first choice, we will consider subsequent choices in the order of preference indicated.
Applicants may hold an offer of admission to only 1 Brock program at a time.
- If you don't get your first choice
If a student applies to only 1 Brock program and does not qualify, in most cases, we automatically consider them for an alternative program.

- Automatic entrance scholarships
Brock Scholars Awards are automatic for all incoming students entering their first undergraduate program with an admission average of 85% or higher.
Award values range from $3,000 to $7,000. • We adjust awards based on final admission averages.
- Scholarship deadlines
Applications are due for Brock Leaders Awards by April 15, 2026. • Students should complete the OneApp as early as possible. The OneApp closes April 15, 2026.

Accessibility policy: https://brocku.ca/health-wellness-accessibility/sas
Students must submit requests by mid-April 2026.
- Deferring your offer
We may grant deferrals in some circumstances.
- When offers go out
We may extend select offers of admission as early as November, as we receive applications.
- Tuition deposit
Not required for domestic students.
- AP and IB
We may use AP results to determine admissibility and the granting of transfer credit or exemption. Applicants who present AP examination grades of 4 may receive university credit to a maximum of 2.0 Brock credits. We require an official AP transcript for those who wish to be considered for transfer credit.
Qualified students who have completed the IB diploma may receive up to 3.0 Brock credits for Higher Level subjects completed with a grade of 5 or higher.
Students may receive a recognition award of $1,000 in addition to any other awards they qualify for.
- Changing programs
The BA in Applied Linguistics and BA with majors in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences have been renamed the BA in Pre-Professional Speech Language Pathology and Audiology.
The Interactive Arts and Science program has been renamed Interactive Arts and Digital Media.
The Studies in Arts and Culture program has been renamed Arts Leadership.
The Oenology and Viticulture program has been renamed Applied Grape and Wine Science.
- Transfer credit
Where possible, we recognize previously completed postsecondary studies.

How Brock is set up
Not a ranking — the structural facts that shape what a year here feels like, computed from Brock’s own listings. Universities list at different grain (Brock lists 86), so read the counts rather than comparing percentages between campuses.
38%
of programs offer co-op
33 of 86 listings. Co-op is a real option here but not the default path.
28/33
subjects you apply straight into
You mostly apply directly to the subject: 28 of 33 common majors are direct entry, so first year is already your program.
