As a UAlberta student, I started working part-time (full-time during the summer) as a research assistant. I helped Landmark Group Master Builder with their BIM (building information model) development project. The most important lesson I learned is to gain self confidence and to believe my role is very important to this company as well as my co-workers. I BELONG to this company. This new mindset really helped me to gain lots of confidence and has kept my future rolling toward a healthy direction. I became a permanent employee shortly after I finished my last exam in my final semester.

Documentation:
What should you provide
Do not wait until the deadline to submit your documents. The earlier we receive your documents, the earlier we can consider you for admission. A maximum of 60 transfer credits from your previous institution can be applied towards a University of Alberta degree.
Official documentation must be sent directly from the issuing high school, postsecondary institution, government, or organization. • One official copy of your high school diploma and a transcript of your grades are required. • E-documents (document scans) will be accepted from international high school applicants for evaluation for Early Admission to direct entry programs, but the original documents must still be submitted to the University of Alberta by the August 1 document deadline for Final Admission. • If you have attended a postsecondary institution, then two official copies of your postsecondary transcripts are required. You will need to provide a detailed course syllabus for all postsecondary coursework completed outside of Canada. See details at www.studyincanada. ualberta.ca/transfer • Transfer credit is determined on an individual basis and will be evaluated once all supporting documents are submitted.
Photocopies will not be accepted. In the event that the issuing institution produces only one official copy of the document and will not send additional copies to universities, we will accept a certified copy. Certified copies can be authorized by one of the following: your high school, university or college; a notary public; a ministry of education office; a Canadian Embassy or Consulate General. In the event that a certified copy is presented, the original document must be presented for verification upon your arrival on campus. Documents issued in a language other than English or French must be accompanied by official English translations.
Information and Privacy Canadian law prohibits the University of Alberta from discussing the details of an applicant’s file with anyone but the applicant. In the event that you wish to allow a counsellor, parent, or other third party to have access to your file, written permission (including your signature) must accompany the application form.

They may also challenge a junior or senior course for credit via the Credit by Special Assessment route if they have appropriate qualifications and are eligible within the regulations. Note: For students entering the Faculty of Engineering, transfer credit for the first (qualifying) year courses does not reduce the minimum load requirement of 37.0 units.
