RESIDENCE

From the ancient temples and futuristic cityscapes of Asia, to the bustling cities and romantic scenery of Europe, to the sophistication of Washington and the beauty and heat of Mexico in North America, to the natural wonders of South America and the rugged landscape of the down under, U of R students have a life changing opportunity to gain academic credit and travel the world. Having an international experience abroad adds greater value to your U of R degree and gives you a competitive edge that sets you apart. So why not take a chance and open your world!

A SUCCESS GUARANTEE We’re so confident in the quality of our education that we created the UR Guarantee – the only program of its kind in Canada. So how does it work? If you’re a newly admitted or transfer student with 30 credit hours or less of post-secondary classes and you do not secure careerrelated employment within six months of graduation, you will be eligible to come back for another year of undergraduate classes FREE of charge (yes, we actually cover all tuition and course fees).

SMALLER CLASSES, BIGGER OPPORTUNITIES At the U of R, professors and classmates know your name. You’ll learn in smaller group settings that allow for discussion, interaction, and relationship development. You’ll have greater access to your professors. You’ll have a chance to ask more questions and get more one-on-one time. Professors can eventually connect you with great career opportunities in your field or write glowing letters of recommendation for grad school because they have the chance to get to know you!

“ The University of Regina has a lot going for it. There are many programs providing unique opportunities for every student on campus, including Campus for All, UR Guarantee, Co-op, and Study Abroad to name a few. The University is constantly changing and developing, but has always maintained that ‘typical prairie’ welcoming atmosphere to all of its students.” - Hannah Paul, 4th Year Education Student

FEDERATED COLLEGES ONE DEGREE, FOUR WAYS TO ACHIEVE IT WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH FEDERATED COLLEGES? At the U of R we realize that not everyone approaches university the same way. Your experience should be exactly what YOU want it to be. Each person is unique with individual needs and expectations. You should be able to customize your experience to best achieve your academic goals. This is why your University of Regina degree can be pursued through any one of our three federated colleges. Federated colleges offer specialized programs and services in a comfortable and encouraging environment. WHAT’S THE CATCH? THERE ISN’T ONE! Federated college students have a unique supportive community within the larger U of R community. They get one-on-one academic advising and access to additional scholarships and bursaries. Federated college students are still U of R students with access to U of R courses, services, and scholarships. They pay the same U of R tuition and graduate with a U of R degree. There’s really no catch – just benefits!

OPEN HOUSE

Each fall, we offer a Saturday Open House for high school students and their families. Come learn about everything the University of Regina has to offer with other future students. You can talk to current students, tour campus, see our residences, and learn more about the specific programs that you are interested in. We also offer a reduced application fee for students who apply for admission at the event! ADMISSION ON THE SPOT Bring your transcripts, your $100 application fee and, for certain programs, someone will work to assess and process your application right then and there. SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION WORKSHOPS Learn how to complete your Entrance Scholarship Application in our scholarship database. These workshops will also teach you how to search for awards, write an awesome personal statement, and what to ask for in reference letters. Visit urconnected.uregina.ca for all the details!
