Principals’ Recommended Admission
2027/2028 Principals’ Recommended Admission
The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) is offering priority placement in our bachelor degree programmes to graduating students from secondary schools, who demonstrate strong academic achievement, outstanding community leadership, or extraordinary aptitude in other areas.
Students enter the Principals’ Recommended Admission process through nomination by their secondary school. Nominated students will then complete USJ’s online application before being scheduled for an admission interview. The purpose of this interview is to allow students to share their academic experiences, interests, and motivation with USJ professors.
As an investment in the academic potential of secondary school graduates, USJ is proud to offer scholarship opportunities alongside the Direct Admission process this year. The scholarship opportunities include full tuition waivers for four years of undergraduate study, as well as 50% tuition deductions at USJ. Students apply to these scholarship opportunities via the nomination form submitted by their secondary school.
Students interested in USJ’s Principals’ Recommended Admission process can speak with their school’s guidance or university counselor.
