Social Work courses in years 1 and 2 are open to any student. Any student may declare a social work major. Declaring a major does not guarantee admission into the Professional Years. Students will take four half credits in social work over years 1 and 2. In the winter semester of second year, students can apply for entry into the Professional Years. Students must meet academic requirements in the general years in order to apply to for the Professional Years. If you receive a transfer credit for SWRK 3000Y, it cannot be used to meet the professional year admission requirements.
All students enter the General Years, even if they have a Social Service Worker Diploma or other transfer credits. Students with an SSW may be granted a full year of Transfer Credits and enter directly into year two of the General Years. There is no direct entry to the Professional Years (years three and four).
