Welcome Here’s to a fantastic 2020 academic year! There are so many exciting things happening at uLethbridge. Science Commons, our newest academic space, is now open! This space brings together researchers across disciplines to examine and solve complex, real-world problems through a transdisciplinary lens.

We have also launched a number of Living and Learning Communities (LLCs) over the past two years. LLCs are made up of students in similar areas of study and who live in residence and receive enhanced academic and social programming. This exceptional experience gives participants special access to professors, lecturers, networking, student success programming and more! Students in LLCs have a greater chance of being successful in their early years of study.

The Dhillon School of Business and Faculty of Fine Arts currently run LLCs that provide exciting opportunities to participants throughout their first year at uLethbridge. This year, we piloted a new LLC called Early Start for students looking to ease their transition to University — we all know the first few weeks can be overwhelming!

Early Start participants moved into residence in mid-August and completed one liberal education course for credit before the start of term. The course helps students map their communities, the physical space of campus and their support networks. It was a resounding success and plans are in the works to expand Early Start in 2020. Students who apply to any future Living and Learning Community by the deadline are guaranteed a bed in residence! We will provide more information to you in the coming months.

This fall, uLethbridge launched the Experience Matters project with a goal of developing a student experience transcript in the near future. When you reflect on your own time in higher education, I suspect you remember experiences outside the classroom that shaped who you are today and how you view the world. We want students to be able to articulate these experiences and show future employers the relevant skills they developed.

I hope you have a wonderful year, and that our materials prove useful in guiding your students through the overwhelming journey to post-secondary. Our team is here to support you and your students every step of the way! I hope we see you on campus soon.

AACSB accreditation for the Dhillon School of Business

Studies at the Dhillon School of Business are backed by our AACSB accreditation. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International is the world’s largest global business education network of which only six per cent of the best business schools worldwide are accredited. Students who graduate fromanAACSB-accreditedschoolarecontenders for jobs from top, global organizations who only hire from AACSB-accreditedschools,theyareoftenofferedmorecompetitivesalaries,they have a better chance of getting into graduate programs, and they have more employers interested in them after graduation.

BFA-New Media/BSc Computer Science (New!)

StartingFall2020,uLethbridgewillofferaBachelorofFineArts-NewMedia/Bachelor of Science with a major in computer science. Demand is increasing for new media artists that draw from an extensive computer science foundation. Thisfive-yearcombineddegreesprogrambridgesthegapbetweenfinearts and computer science, providing a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Through new media studies, students will explore the interconnectivity between technology, art, industry, and culture. They’ll combine a foundation in new media with studies in computer science, delving into the study of algorithms, data structures and their applicationstodevelopefficientsolutions to global problems.

Combined Degrees

Combined degrees programs at uLethbridge give students the opportunity to graduate with two degrees in less time than if they took them separately. Students get a strong foundation of knowledge and skills in two areas, gaining an advantage in a competitive job market. To be admitted to a combined degrees program, students must meet the minimum requirementsofbothprograms.

Early Start

Through Early Start, students can take a liberal education course for credit before the start of the Fall 2020 term. Thecourse(LBED1500-TheFirst-YearExperience: Mapping our Communities) will promote success and ease the transition from high school to university, while giving students credit towards their degree.

Students will have the opportunity to attend lectures, labs and tutorials each week, examining viewpoints from differentperspectives:science,socialscience,fineartsandhumanities. They will get to know the campus, meet fellow students and professors, and familiarize themselves with uLethbridge’s resources.

Experience Matters

Thevalueofapost-secondaryjourneycannot be fully captured through a list of academic courses and grades. To fillthisgap,uLethbridgeislaunchingExperience Matters, a comprehensive database of activities that students can use to track participation and highlight the skills they gained during their degree. Upon graduation, they’ll have a record to share with future employers.

The activities included may take placeon-oroff-campusandcoveravariety of educational opportunities emphasizing research, creativity and innovation, community service, global citizenship,leadership,certificationsandworkshops.

Post-Secondary AdmissionApplicants 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.

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.

Refer to Programs Available to Post-Secondary Students online: ulethbridge.ca/ross/admission-information/adm_routes/nt_prog.

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.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.

Degree HoldersApplicants who have completed, with satisfactory grades, one or more academic degrees from a recognized university, will be considered for admission to another 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.

** Your high school marks are not used to determine your admission GPA, but may be necessary for prerequisite purposes. If you are not sure whether six of your courses will transfer, you should also arrange for your high school transcript to be sent to Admissions.

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. Home School Applicants 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. The applicant would be considered for admission when they present 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.

Mature Student 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 Mature 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 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 Admissions.

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 written prior to March 2016, the applicant must present complete SAT (Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing) and three additional SAT Subject Test scores. In the case of the SAT written after March 2016, a minimum combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing plus Math (ERW+M) score of 1040 is required. In the case of the ACT, a composite score of 20 is required. Applicants are also required to meet program-specific admission requirements and therefore will be required to submit their high school transcript for review.
