The Bachelor of Social Work Degree Program recognizes that there are institutional processes and cultural differences that present barriers to some applicants in gaining equal access to programs. Given the Program's commitment to diversity, equality, and social justice, twelve seats in the UCC BSW program are reserved each year for students from groups including, but not limited to, Aboriginal people, persons of colour, gay and lesbian persons, and persons with disabilities. Students admitted to these reserved seats must meet all requirements for admission to the UCC BSW program.
