Required vs. Recommended Courses Certain high school courses, although not specifically required, are recommended because either: (1) the course is recommended background for one or more courses required in the major; or (2) completion of the course will allow students more options when choosing major requirements.

Visit the online version of this chart at www.uleth.ca/ross/ hs_prereqs/program/all to access specific information regarding why a particular high school course is recommended.

Admission Requirements vs. Prerequisite Requirements The courses given for each program (with the exception of programs in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Management) are NOT required for admission purposes but are necessary to meet prerequisite requirements for courses in the program.

As early as their first year, students can work alongside leading researchers as they push the boundaries of creativity and discovery – an opportunity often reserved only for graduate students at other institutions. Regardless of their major, whether they plan to go on to graduate studies or begin a professional career, being involved in research as an undergraduate will help students stand out from the crowd when they graduate.

11

alternate Admission PATHWAYS Degree Holders Applicants who have completed, with satisfactory grades, one or more academic degrees from a recognized university, will be considered for admission to a second degree program at the U of L. For most faculties, the length of a second degree program is approximately 20 semester courses. To be eligible for consideration, the declared U of L program/major must be dissimilar from any degree already completed. Courses completed in the first degree and courses completed since the first degree may affect the program content and may reduce the number of courses required to complete subsequent undergraduate degrees. Please contact an Academic Advisor in the appropriate faculty for further information .

Applied and Technology Degrees Applicants presenting Applied or Technology Degrees from recognized colleges or technical institutes in Canada with GPAs of 2.0 or higher on the U of L 4.0 GPA scale are guaranteed admission to first degree, undergraduate non-quota programs. These applicants will be considered for admission to quota programs according to their qualifications as transfer students.

Transfer credit awards will be according to regular University procedures and subject to University policies, including those pertaining to residency, major and time limits.

Applied and Technology Degrees are not normally considered to be a basis of admission for second degree or graduate studies programs.

12

Home School Applicants Regardless of their citizenship or residency, Home School applicants will be considered according to the curriculum they followed.

For example: A high school applicant who studied Alberta curriculum is expected to meet the requirements of an Alberta high school applicant.

The applicant should challenge the departmental examinations in courses where such examinations exist to provide grades in the subjects challenged. By this means, an applicant will be considered for admission who presents final grades in five distinct subjects .

A high school applicant from British Columbia should challenge the provincial examinations in courses where such examinations exist to provide grades in the subjects challenged. An applicant will be considered for admission who presents final grades in five distinct subjects.

An applicant who presents both a high school diploma and appropriate, satisfactory standardized test scores, either ACT or both SAT I and II, will be considered for general admission.

First Nations’ Transition Program This eight-month (two-semester) program enables students to experience a smooth transition to academics and life at the U of L. By interconnecting Aboriginal and Western university cultures, this program aims to increase First Nations, Métis, and Inuit (FNMI) student success in and out of the classroom. Students who are attending post-secondary for the first time and those who are returning after an absence are eligible to apply.

Admission is on a case-by-case basis, though successful applicants will have the following high school courses at a minimum: • English Language Arts 20-1 • Mathematics 20-2 • Applicants interested in the Health Sciences stream may also require Biology 20 and Chemistry 20, depending on the Health Science program the applicant wants to pursue (eg. Nursing).

Contact the Admissions Office for more information.

Adult Admission Applicants who are a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident, age 21 years or older, and who do not meet current admission requirements of any other admission route may be considered for Adult Student admission.

Applicants who have completed high school requirements and have an admission average of 60% will be considered for admission. For applicants who have not completed high school requirements, a combination of academic credentials, standardized test scores, and evidence of life experiences will be considered.

The applicant is assessed for potential post-secondary success, which is the standard of admission for this route. A resume and letter of intent are required for admission purposes. Additional advice is available from the Admissions Office.

Standardized Test Admission Applicants to first-year Faculty of Arts & Science or Faculty of Fine Arts programs will be considered who present acceptable ACT (American College Testing Program) or SAT (Scholastic Achievement Test) scores. In the case of SAT tests, the applicant must present complete SAT Reasoning (Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing) and three additional SAT II test scores. Applicants who present only SAT I scores and who present superior high school records (at least five Grade 12-level courses in academic subjects including English, and a ‘B+’ or higher on these courses), will be considered for admission on an individual basis.

13

Application Fee

Official Documents

The application fee for admission to an undergraduate program is $100.

Subsequent applications for admission to a level of study are assessed an application fee of $25.

Through ApplyAlberta (Alberta Post-Secondary Application System), applicants authorize the University of Lethbridge to request transcripts on their behalf from Alberta Education and/or participating postsecondary institutions in Alberta. Applicants attending institutions not participating in ApplyAlberta or any educational institution out-ofprovince must arrange to have official transcripts sent directly to the Admissions Office.

Self-reported grades High school applicants provide final grades for Grade 12 courses already completed, and estimate final grades for courses in progress and courses they plan to complete based on Grade 12 mid-term marks or Grade 11 final grades.

If an applicant is not admissible based on self-reported grades, the Admissions Office will require interim transcripts in order to make the prediction of grades and the initial admission decision.

Conditional Admission Conditional admission decisions may be made on the basis of interim/unofficial transcripts and/or mid-term mark statements (for courses in progress) received by the Admission Decision Document deadline.

Applicants currently studying at institutions not participating in ApplyAlberta or any educational institution out-of-province are strongly advised to arrange, at the time of application, for the submission of interim transcripts if required final transcripts are not yet available. Final, official transcripts must be submitted on or before the Final Document deadline.

Visit www.applyalberta.ca for more information.

Education Combined Degree Programs Applicants may not apply directly into the Faculty of Education from high school. Interested students should initially apply to a pre-Bachelor of Education Combined Degrees program (pre-B.A./B.Ed., pre-B.Sc./B. Ed., pre-B.F.A./B.Ed., pre-B.Mus./B.Ed., pre-B.Mgt./B.Ed.).
