The BFA in Integrative Arts aims to provide access and encourage students who have knowledge and experience outside of traditional art training to explore new directions in arts, creative industries, and decolonial / social justice based work.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the ability of many students to explore the arts, access training and facilities, and mount public performances. In the spirit of equity and access, the Theatre (BA) program at York University is waiving the supplementary application requirement for Fall/Winter 2023-24 Entry. We encourage all interested students to apply, and we feel confident that our program, faculty members, and facilities can help you realize your potential into sustained career mobility.

Students who wish to pursue a BFA in Theatre must undergo auditions at the end of year one of the Theatre (BA) program. Upon successful evaluation, students may enter the following BFA programs beginning in second year: Acting Conservatory (BFA), Performance & Creation (BFA) and Production & Design (BFA).

*The number of credits you receive and the number of credits required to complete your degree at York University may not match exactly. Depending on the program you are admitted to, you may be required to complete additional courses to meet specific program requirements.

An articulation agreement usually provides a simplified, guaranteed transfer process for transfer students. Agreements between various Canadian colleges and York specify the number of transfer credits and the approximate length of time required for a college student to complete a degree at York, as well as specific college courses and letter that will transfer to the university.

A collaborative program is one in which several schools work together to provide comprehensive education programs, with colleges providing the smaller, more hands-on approach and degree-level courses provided by the larger university. At York, we offer a collaborative nursing program in partnership with Seneca College of Applied Arts & Technology and Georgian College. View the Collaborative Nursing Program page.

If you have completed postsecondary courses elsewhere, you may be eligible to receive credit which will reduce the length of your degree. Most programs at York consist of 120 credits and take four years to complete. Provided the courses you have taken fit your program, you may receive up to a maximum of 90 credits.

The amount of transfer credit you receive depends on whether the courses you have taken are transferable (equivalent to York courses), how many courses you have taken, grades achieved, course content and whether all the courses you have taken fit in the program to which you are applying.

If you studied in the US or US education system:

Institutionally prepared course outlines or syllabi are required when US applicants have taken business, biology, chemistry, economics, mathematics, statistics or physics that may apply to their admitted degree program. The outlines should include a detailed list of topics covered, list of textbooks and number of lecture, tutorial and laboratory hours.

If you studied outside North America:

Institutionally prepared course outlines or syllabi are required for students who studied outside North America. The outlines should include: detailed list of topics covered, list of textbooks used, grading practices, number of weeks in attendance (excluding examination period), and number of lecture, tutorial and laboratory hours.

A maximum of 30 credits (5 full term courses) maybe awarded for completion of the French Baccalaureate Diploma in series S (scientifique), L (littraire), or ES (conomique et sociale) with a minimum average of 10/20 (mention passable). Most academic courses with a passed grade of 12 or better qualify for credit.

A minimum 70% OVGPA is required to be eligible for transfer credit. A maximum of 30 credits (5 full year courses) may be awarded for completion of the DEC. If the DEC has not been completed, credit may be awarded for courses taken beyond the first 12 academic courses with grades of 60% or better when an overall average is 70% or better.

As soon as you are offered admission to York, the Office of Admissions will begin assessing your previous postsecondary studies for transfer credit eligibility. Wait times for transfer assessment completion vary depending on the time of year. The earlier you accept your offer, the earlier you will receive your transfer credit statement. The transfer process is divided into:

To complete the credit assessment, students must provide Official Transcript(s) either by uploading a copy through MyFile or by having a copy mailed directly to the Student Recruitment & Admissions Office.

After the credit assessment is complete, the Student Recruitment & Admissions Office thoroughly reviews your previously taken course(s) for content overlap with your existing program's degree requirements. Where they identify significant overlap between courses, these studies are granted course credit exclusion(s) and/or course waiver status.

These identified courses do not need to be retaken at York and they reduce your remaining degree requirements. In order to facilitate course review, students are required to submit course outline(s) for assessment of academic content, rigor and materials covered.

This assessment outlines the amount of transfer credit from your prior studies applicable to the academic program at York University to which you have been admitted. All assessments are conditional upon receipt of a final official transcript for each previous post-secondary institution you have attended. If you are in the process of finishing your studies and have not yet been issued a final transcript, you may submit your official final transcript upon completion of your previous studies.

Grades achieved in postsecondary course(s) accepted by York University for transfer credit will not affect your academic average at York. If you repeat course exclusions granted from previous studies, it will result in a reduction of your transfer credit.

You may request a re-evaluation of your transfer credit assessment only if/when new information that was not available at the time of your initial assessment is required. New information may include a detailed course description, updated transcript(s) or a change in your academic program at York University.

In accordance with Eligibility for Transfer Credit guidelines outlined in the York University Calendar (please select year of admission), you have one academic term from the date of admission or re-admission to York University to submit documentation (including detailed course outlines) for re-evaluation of transfer credit.

Academic Honesty: The Senate Policy on Academic Honesty applies to all applicants. Anything you submit that is found to be false or modified without authorization is a breach of the policy and will lead to charges under the policy. Penalties can range from withdrawal of an offer of admission to expulsion to rescission of a degree.

If you choose to work with an agent or immigration consultant during the process of submitting your application and required documents, you are fully responsible for the accuracy of the content of your application and all related materials.

Important: For final admission, all documents must be official originals and received directly from the home institution. Conditional admission is possible with non-official documents; however, to proceed into courses, you must provide the official original transcripts before the start of classes.

Course descriptions, syllabi and course outlines must represent the timeframe wherein you took the course. Copies of detailed course outlines/syllabi are the preferred choice. These can be uploaded via MyFile, faxed or mailed directly from your former school.

Your application deadline depends on when you'd like to start and where you are applying from. Submit your application by the deadline(s) listed below. Note that AMPD programs, Business Administration and Education have additional supplementary application deadlines. View details.
