AGILITY

Dual Credit

AGILITY is a University-wide initiative that fosters innovation and supports entrepreneurial ideas across all Faculties and disciplines.If your students are curious, optimistic and constantly questioning how things can be done better, AGILITY provides programming, creative spaces and funding to develop their budding ideas.

A first-of-its-kind partnership between uLethbridge and Lethbridge School District No. 51, the dual credit helps high school students prepare for the transition to postsecondary studies. Dual credit allows students to take university courses as part of their usual high school schedule, earning credits at both the high school and post-secondary level.

Audition Required for Admission to BMus Music Major and pre-BMus/BEd

General Admission Deadlines

Effective May 2016, applicants to the Bachelor of Music with a major in music and the Pre-BMus/BEd degree programs must successfully audition to be considered for admission. Previously, applicants could be admitted without auditioning, but were unable to register for music studio courses until they completed a successful audition.

Bachelor of Health Sciences – Aboriginal Health

The general admission undergraduate application and document deadlines have changed. Students now have until June 30 to apply to most undergraduate programs. Also, the deadline to submit final official documents for general admission has been moved back, giving students more time to finish pre-requisite high school courses.

Global Citizen Cohort

Students will gain the practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed for work in the field of Aboriginal health. Major topics include: Traditional Aboriginal health concepts, contemporary issues in Aboriginal health, community development, nutrition and cultural issues.

We live in a global society with complex problems and the world needs people who think critically and responsibly. Our Global Citizenship student cohort offers a unique opportunity for students in the Faculty of Arts & Science to connect some first-year courses around a common theme while interacting with a group of like-minded students. Students in this small group of curious and motivated students will enjoy an enhanced first-year university experience.

Changes to Admission for Public Health Majors

Minor in Agricultural Enterprise Management

The Bachelor of Health Sciences with a major in public health will only accept applicants for the fall semester. Due to the success of the program, admission to the public health major is now competitive.

This minor will familiarize students with agricultural enterprises and provide a comprehensive view of this key sector of our economy. If they are interested in starting their own agribusiness or working within the industry, this minor will expose them to functional areas of management such as supply chain, finance and sales, as well as enterprise opportunities like entrepreneurship and visual analytics.

Post-Diploma Bachelor of Health Sciences (Calgary Campus) Public Health major, Health Leadership minor This new two-year program builds on your existing health or human-services diploma to give students the skills needed to pursue a career in front-line management. Applicants to the post-diploma Bachelor of Health Sciences must hold an approved diploma in health or human services from an approved college.

Pre-Professional Transfer Program in Engineering With a carefully designed package of courses to give your students a great start to their engineering program, they will complete the first year of their engineering degree at uLethbridge. Upon successful completion of their courses, they will transfer seamlessly to the engineering program at University of Alberta or the University of Saskatchewan. While our Pre-Professional Transfer Program in Engineering has been designed for transfer to either the U of A or U of S, the courses they take at uLethbridge may transfer to engineering programs at other postsecondary institutions as well.

Student Professional Development Program (PDP) Students in the Faculty of Management have the opportunity to participate in PDP. They will develop leadership skills to give them a competitive advantage once they graduate from uLethbridge. By taking part in workshops, industry-networking events, academic competitions and student clubs, students in PDP experience incredible personal and professional growth.

Transfer (College or University) Admission Applicants who have completed three or more transferable semester courses at one or more post-secondary institutions will be considered as Transfer applicants.

Eight or more transferable courses

To qualify for general admission, Transfer applicants must have an admission average of at least 2.0 on the uLethbridge 4.0 GPA scale, calculated on all transferable courses. Admission requirements vary depending on the number of transferable, post-secondary courses completed, as indicated below. See the appropriate Faculty section for quota and specialized program admission requirements.

• Admission GPA of at least 2.0 on the uLethbridge 4.0 GPA scale, calculated on all completed transferable post-secondary courses.

• High school credentials are not required.

Five or more (but fewer than eight) transferable courses

At least three (but fewer than five) transferable courses

Upon admission, students are assigned transfer credit on a course-by-course basis for eligible post-secondary work. Transfer of credit may serve to reduce the number of courses which must be completed at uLethbridge in order to complete a program of studies. For detailed information on course-by-course transfer, including course equivalencies, see ulethbridge.ca/ross/ admission-information/adm_routes/new_transfer.

Regardless of their citizenship or residency, home school applicants will be considered according to the curriculum they followed.

For example:

A home 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.

First Nations’ Transition Program

The First Nations’ Transition Program (FNTP) is a first-year credit program that provides First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students who do not meet the general requirements of the University of Lethbridge an opportunity to enter into, and succeed at, university. This program provides a solid foundation of core skills in a supportive cohort environment that attends to Aboriginal Ways of Knowing and Learning. It is also open to FNMI students returning to university after an absence and, as space allows, to those who qualify for general admission but want the supports provided by the cohort.

Successful completion of the FNTP allows students to enter into most uLethbridge programs. Admission is on case-by-case basis.
