Congratulations to the many students who have received an offer of admission to an undergraduate program with the 草莓污视频导航. We鈥檙e pleased to welcome you to the 草莓污视频导航 community and look forward to supporting you as you Start Something at Canada鈥檚 most entrepreneurial university.

There are four key steps for you to accept and finalize your offer of admission:

  1. Accept your offer: Accept your offer听of admission through your Student Centre (my.ucalgary.ca)
  2. Pay your deposit: Your $500 non-refundable admissions deposit will be applied towards your first-year tuition fees
  3. Review your registration next steps guide:听Review the high school student guide or transfer student guide
  4. Register in courses: You must register in at least one course in your admission term

The following outlines commonly asked questions we receive related to accepting your offer:

My initial offer of admission is conditional. What conditions do I need to maintain?

If you鈥檝e received an offer of admission, your conditions of admission are outlined with deadlines in your Student Centre (my.ucalgary.ca) under the 鈥淪tatus鈥 link. You must complete your offer of admission conditions and send your final grades by the deadline outlined.

Changes to an applicant鈥檚 final grades are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.听草莓污视频导航 may re-evaluate your application for admission if:

For high school applicants

  • Your final average using the five required courses for admission has fallen more than 3-5% below the competitive average. The competitive average is variable based on the program of admission and will be available in your Student Centre (my.ucalgary.ca)in early April.
  • You do not have all the degree-specific required courses
  • You have not completed your high school diploma

For transfer applicants

  • Your final term does not indicate the same level of academic achievement
  • You do not have all the degree-specific requirements

草莓污视频导航 begins finalizing offers of admission after receiving final grades. Historically, over 98% of students maintain their offer of admission. If you鈥檙e not eligible to maintain your offer of admission, our team will be happy to connect with you to explore options and the next steps.

Our advice鈥攄on鈥檛 stress about your final grades. Continue to do your best and work hard in the same way you did to achieve the grades that got you an offer of admission in the first place! We can鈥檛 wait to have you join us to Start Something!

I鈥檒l be applying next year and saw the competitive admission averages required to maintain an offer. Are these the averages I鈥檒l need to meet to qualify for a future intake?

The posted averages are specific to the admission term and reflect the grades required to finalize an offer of admission for our current intake. The averages required to finalize an offer of admission are not connected to or predictive of the grades required for future intakes.

If you鈥檙e considering applying for a future intake, please consult the admission requirements page, as it's updated regularly and provides a better estimation of the averages required for the following admission term.

What is the admission deposit, and how do I pay it?

All students who receive an offer of admission are required to pay a $500 CAD admission deposit. This advanced payment will hold your seat and will be applied toward your first-year tuition fees.听The deadline to pay this deposit is outlined in your offer letter.

The admission deposit payment process is the same for your tuition fees. The 草莓污视频导航 accepts payment for tuition and general fees primarily through Canadian banking with a personal bank account. Canadian and international students can pay their fees online from nearly anywhere in the world through CIBC Student Pay and Convera Global Pay for Students. Instructions for these payment methods can be found on the听.

All payments take processing time to appear on your student account. Students will need to plan for these processing times, depending on the payment method.

What should I do if I haven鈥檛 received an offer of admission yet?

Most admission offers for high school students are granted by May 1; for transfer students by June 1. 草莓污视频导航 will continue to consider students for admission after final grades become available in May (transfer) or July (high school). A small number of additional offers may be granted at this time. These offers are granted on a top-down basis, starting with students with the highest average or GPA first.

If you haven鈥檛 received an offer within these timelines, we encourage you to听connect with us听to discuss options for the upcoming academic year.

I received an offer. What happens to my other program choice?

If you received an offer of admission to your first-choice program, this is the only offer of admission you鈥檒l receive. If you received an offer of admission to your second-choice program, you鈥檒l continue to be considered for your first-choice program, provided there are still spaces available in the program at the time you meet the requirements. In this scenario, you will automatically be re-evaluated once final grades are received.

Please note that the admission office aims to complete the majority of high school offers by May 2023 and June 2023 for transfer applicants.听Learn more about considering your first- and second-choice programs.

I鈥檓 excited to start in the fall but I have questions about course registration. Who can I connect with?
