• Post-Secondary Admission Route There are different ways to gain admission through the Post-Secondary Admission Route. Post-Secondary Courses Completed General Admission To qualify for general admission, post-secondary applicants must present six or more completed transferrable credit courses with an admission grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.00 (on the University of Lethbridge 4.00 GPA scale). Applicants presenting fewer than six transferable credit courses must also meet the High School Admission Route requirements. Number of Transferable Courses High School Transcript Required Minimum Average Required Transferable Courses - GPA Required Minimum GPA Required 1-5 Yes 65% Yes 2.00 6+ Yes N/A* Yes 2.00 * Your high school marks are not used to determine your admission GPA, but may be necessary for prerequisite purposes. Transfer students need to have completed the courses required for admission to any program. Transfer Credit Upon admission, completed post-secondary credit courses will be considered for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis for eligible post-secondary work. The number of courses considered to be transferable in the context of the admission decision may or may not coincide with the number of courses ultimately awarded transfer credit. For additional information, see Transfer Credit . The University of Lethbridge does not award transfer credit on the basis of Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition. Applicants who hold certificate credentials from credit programs at recognized post-secondary institutions may be eligible to receive transfer credit upon admission (see Transfer Credit ). Calculating Admission GPA All transferable post-secondary work completed by Post-Secondary applicants, as indicated on transcripts, will be used in determining admission eligibility. Upon admission, completed courses will be considered for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis for eligible post-secondary work in accordance with program and residence requirements. The number of courses considered to be transferable in the context of the admission decision may or may not coincide with the number of courses ultimately awarded transfer credit. For additional information, see Transfer Credit . When necessary for the purposes of calculating the admission GPA and awarding transfer credit, Student Enrolment and Registrar Services (SEARS) will convert grades to the University of Lethbridge 4.00 GPA scale. College Diploma General Admission Applicants who hold a two- or three-year college diploma of sufficient academic merit from a recognized post-secondary institution, completed with a program GPA of 2.00 or higher (on the U of L 4.00 scale), shall be eligible for general admission in the absence of contradictory evidence. The higher of the diploma program GPA or GPA based on transferable courses (see Transferable Courses , above) will be used for admission purposes. Transfer Credit will be awarded on a course-by-course basis, in accordance with approved transfer credit policies. Post-Diploma Programs Applicants who hold two- or three-year college diplomas from recognized institutions will be considered for admission to the appropriate post-diploma program. For details on available post-diploma programs and eligible diplomas, see the Post-Diploma Degree Programs website. See Admission in the Undergraduate Calendar for more detail on College Diploma admission. Previous Degree General Admission Applicants who have completed an approved degree with a minimum grade point average of 2.00 (on the U of L 4.00 scale) will be eligible for general admission to pursue a second degree. An approved degree is an academic baccalaureate degree requiring a minimum of 30 course equivalents (90.0 credit hours) or a graduate degree from a recognized degree-granting institution. Students are not normally eligible to pursue a second degree that is similar to one already completed at a recognized institution. Applied and Technology Degrees are not considered to be a basis of admission for second degree or graduate studies programs. Applicants presenting Applied or Technology Degrees from recognized colleges or technical institutes will be considered for admission under College Diploma. Receiving Transfer Credit General Information on Transfer Credit For information on how to obtain transfer credit, please see Step 6: Transfer Credit .

• Adult (Mature) Admission General Admission Applicants who are Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents, at least 21 years of age by the first day of classes of the term of intended admission, and who do not fulfill requirements for any other admission route will be considered for general admission as outlined below. The number of seats available for Mature will be limited (as determined each term). Ways to Meet Mature Admission: High School Admission Route with an admission average of at least 60%, or Minimum final grade of 65% in English 30-1 or 30-2, as well as passing grades in two other 30-level courses, or Demonstrated potential for academic success and excellence in non-academic areas. Applicants are required to submit the following to Admissions: Transcripts of all high school and postsecondary experience. Standardized test scores, such as SAT or ACT, if available. A Letter of Intent from the applicant including a statement on the applicant’s potential for success in university studies, how the applicant’s experiences since secondary school have contributed to this potential, the applicant’s goals for the future, and why studies at the University will help the applicant to realize these goals A résumé, providing a summary of all educational, employment and volunteer experience Applicants who have unsatisfactory post-secondary academic records (i.e. a GPA less than 2.00 on the University of Lethbridge 4.00 scale) will not be considered for Mature Admission. Applicants considered via the Mature admission route must meet all additional admission requirements for their desired program, including course prerequisites and competitive averages. Test Scores Applicants who believe they have developed university-ready academic skills that are not reflected on transcripts should take an academic, secondary-level achievement test. For example, it is possible to challenge or retake the Alberta Education diploma exams. Review sessions for these exams are often offered as Continuing Education courses at colleges. Other acceptable test scores are the SAT and the ACT. Scores on exams for the General Equivalency Diploma (GED), Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC), and Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) are not considered adequate indicators of academic skills for admission to the University of Lethbridge Letter of Intent and Résumé The Letter of Intent gives applicants an opportunity to highlight how their academic and non-academic achievements have provided them with the skills necessary to achieve success at the University of Lethbridge. Applicants presenting life achievement will be considered for Mature if it demonstrates skill development relevant to university success. Relevant experience could include: Volunteer or work experience; Academic upgrading; Test scores indicating university-level reading, writing and math skills; Transferable and non-transferable post-secondary work; and/or Leisure activities. The focus should be on the academic/organizational skills developed and maturity gained in the course of these experiences (e.g., ability to organize and complete significant projects, sophisticated reading or writing). Individuals who have professional history (e.g., successfully managing a business, community leadership, professional certification) should ensure that the skills obtained through these experiences are highlighted on their résumé. The Mature Admission Committee will evaluate whether or not this experience, combined with academic achievements, have prepared the applicant for success in the chosen program at the University of Lethbridge.
