Post-Secondary Admission Route Applicants who have completed six or more transferable term courses at one or more post-secondary institutions will be considered as Post-secondary applicants. To qualify for general admission, Post-Secondary applicants must have an admission average of at least 2.0 on the uLethbridge 4.0 GPA scale, calculated on all transferable courses. Satisfactory completion of certain Alberta high school courses or equivalents is required for admission to some majors. See High School Admission Requirements by Program for quota and specialized program admission requirements.
Alberta Colleges or Institutes of Technology For admission and prerequisite requirements, uLethbridge accepts courses offered by colleges that are deemed to be equivalent to Alberta high school 30-level courses. Please refer to the Alberta Council on Admissions and Transfer (ACAT) Guide at acat.gov.ab.ca.
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-bycourse transfer, including course equivalencies, see ulethbridge.ca/ross/ admission-information/adm_routes/new_transfer. Refer to the Programs Available to Post-Secondary Students online at ulethbridge.ca/ross/admission-information/adm_routes/ nt_prog. Also, see Admission in the current uLethbridge Calendar available online ulethbridge.ca/ross/academic-calendar/part01.pdf.

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
additional Admission Routes Degree Holders
Home School Applicants
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 uLethbridge. The declared uLethbridge program/major must be dissimilar from any degree already completed. Second degree program requirements are individualized for each student. Courses completed during a student’s first degree, as well as those completed after, may affect the program content and/or reduce the number of courses required to complete subsequent degrees. Please contact an academic advisor in the appropriate Faculty or School for more information.
Regardless of their citizenship or residency, home school applicants will be considered according to the curriculum they followed.
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 uLethbridge 4.0 GPA scale will be considered for 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 will be awarded according to regular uLethbridge procedures and 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.

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. 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.
Non-Matriculated 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 with an admission average of at least 60%, or have a minimum grade of 65% in English 30-1 or 30-2 and passing grades in two other 30-level courses 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 may be considered. The applicant is assessed for potential postsecondary 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.
First Nations’ Transition Program The First Nations’ Transition Program (FNTP) is a first-year credit program that provides First Nations, Métis and Inuit students who do not meet the general requirements of the uLethbridge 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 Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Learning. It is also open to Indigenous 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 a case-by-case basis. For more information, contact our FNTP Office at 403-329-2635.
Dual Admission Dual Admission is a specific transfer admission route available for some degree programs open to students enrolled in a dual admission partner institution. Dual Admission applicants must meet all general admission and program-specific admission requirements in effect at the time of application.
Standardized Test Admission Standardized test admission route applicants who present acceptable ACT (American College Testing) or SAT (Scholastic Academic Test) scores will be considered for general admission. In the case of the SAT, the applicant must present complete SAT scores. Applicants who do not present three SAT subject test scores and who present superior high school records (at least five Grade 12–level courses in academic subjects including English, with a ‘B+’ or higher), will be considered for admission on an individual basis.
