Undergraduate advising
Undergraduate students have access to the department academic advisor, as well as the Faculty of Arts and Science.
NEW STUDENTS: Congratulations on your acceptance! We are very happy that you have decided to pursue your studies with us.
Advising within AHSC
Generally, you can perform your own self-assessment any time using the worksheets.
All AHSC undergraduate students are encouraged to contact the department academic advisor annually to ensure they will meet the requirements of their program and the university.
If you have questions or want to make a change to your program, make an appointment with the AHSC Undergraduate Coordinator, Alison Piela, at alison.piela@concordia.ca.
If you are struggling with your course load, reach out for advising. We can offer solutions and advice to improve your standing.
If you want to change your concentration to or add a:
- Minor, Major, or Specialization in Human Relations
- Major or Specialization in Recreation and Leisure Studies
- Specialization in Therapeutic Recreation
Example: from a BA to a BA.
Requirements
Students must have completed a minimum of 24 credits at Concordia, with a CGPA of:
- 2.7 for Human Relations and Therapeutic Recreation
- 2.0 for Recreation and Leisure Studies

Disclaimer: Due to high demand, competition and limited space, AHSC cannot guarantee that all qualified applicants meeting the minimum admission requirements will gain entry into any AHSC program. Acceptance to an AHSC concentration is not automatic.
To transfer your degree (from a BA to a BComm), you will need to understand your options and how to proceed.
Student Academic Services
As a student in the Department of Applied Human Sciences, within the Faculty of Arts and Science, you also have access to Student Academic Services (SAS). Their team can help you with student requests, readmission forms, transfer requests and more.
