Program details
Overview
This program at the University of Guelph-Humber pairs an Honours Bachelor of Applied Science in Justice Studies from the University of Guelph with a Diploma in either Community & Justice Services or Policing & Community Safety from Humber Polytechnic, delivered full-time on the Toronto campus over four years, with a shortened route for qualifying transfer students. Coursework combines classroom instruction with practical learning through courtroom labs, crime-lab studios, and community partnerships, building skills in criminal justice analysis, investigation, and public safety. Students complete supervised work placements in their third and fourth years, with an optional additional summer placement available between those years for students who want further applied experience. The program suits students aiming for careers across law enforcement, legal services, corrections, victim support, and court services, as well as emerging areas such as cyber security, intelligence analysis, anti-money-laundering work, and drone applications within justice and public safety. It is intended for students who want a justice-focused degree with substantial hands-on and placement-based learning built into the curriculum rather than a purely academic course of study.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Ontario Secondary School Diploma applicants need six Grade 12 U/M courses — ENG4U (or an equivalent such as EAE4U) plus four further 4U/M credits — with a minimum admission average above 70%. Out-of-province, transfer, mature, home-schooled and international applicants each follow their own published pathway. The programme page sets no language score of its own, so the University of Guelph-Humber's institution-wide English Language Proficiency Requirements apply: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT total 89 with no section below 21, PTE Academic overall 60 with no component below 60, CAEL overall 70, or Duolingo English Test overall 110, all under two years old. No portfolio, interview or work-experience condition is stated for direct-entry admission.
Application Details
Application Deadline:For current Ontario or other-Canadian-province secondary-school applicants (OSSD/equivalent completing 2026-27), Fall 2027 OUAC applications open in September 2026 and close June 1, 2027, with U of GH's own supplementary application due April 1, 2027, decisions released by May 28, 2027, and offers to be accepted by June 1, 2027. The international-applicant and 'already graduated domestic' pages have not been updated to this cycle: they still show the passed Winter 2026 (November 1, 2025) and Fall 2026 (May 1, 2026) deadlines, with no Fall 2027 or Winter 2027 date yet published for either group. Admission is otherwise handled on a rolling basis once conditions are met. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
