We all love a good story – one that captivates us … moves us … and inspires us beyond its telling.

Stories are what the human experience is all about. Our stories make us unique and set us apart, yet connect us to each other as we move through life. The people you encounter, the experiences you share and the discoveries you make are chapters in your story.

So why should your educational journey be any different?

Your student experience will be unique to you. You will be challenged and shaped by what you learn and discover. The people you will learn from have rich histories and experiences – their stories will inspire you as you write your own.

Your final chapter is still far from being written, but the path you choose based on the time you spend here, could be story-changing.

Life-changing.

And that’s what we want – your time at MacEwan University to be the most memorable, engaging and formative chapter in the story of you.

Limited space is available and not all applicants who are eligible may be admitted. When admission becomes competitive, selection will be based on academic performance and the overall assessment of other specified criteria for admission.

Applicants should anticipate that admission is competitive and is subject to a target. For current information on competitive programs at MacEwan University, please visit MacEwan.ca/Admissions or contact the program.

Early conditional acceptanceMacEwan University will early conditional admit applicants based on Grade 11 marks and/or current registration in required Grade 12 high school subjects. Although conditional admission may be granted before final/official transcripts are available, confirmation of the achievement of specified minimum/competitive grades will take place after all final/official transcripts have been received by MacEwan University. For current information on Early Conditional requirements, visit MacEwan.ca/Admissions.

Cost estimatesCost estimates provided are published for information purposes only and are not to be considered final. Every effort is made to ensure accuracy at the time of printing. Fees are subject to change.

Other admission optionsIf you do not qualify under the Admission categories listed in this publication, you may be admissible under another category (Mature, Previous Post-secondary or Probationary Admission). Please see the website or the Academic Calendar for more information.

Previous post-secondary workApplicants who have taken previous post-secondary coursework may also be admitted through other categories, visit MacEwan.ca/Programs. Admission in this category does not imply or guarantee the transfer of any coursework and/or credential unless a block transfer agreement (internal or external) is in effect and published in the Calendar by the Office of the University Registrar. In addition, transfer of coursework does not imply or guarantee that an applicant will be admitted.

Provisional admissionProvisional admission may be assigned to an applicant who has been offered admission to the program in one of the stated admission categories. The offer of provisional admission is based on completion of specified conditions that must be satisfied within the first year of enrolment by the date specified in the offer. Access to courses, activities, and/or field placement or clinical studies may be limited until all provisional requirements are met.

Probationary admissionThis admission category will be used only if the program is not filled by regular, mature or previous post-secondary applicants. A limited number of probationary admissions may be granted to applicants who present a minimum cumulative post-secondary Admission Grade Point Average (AGPA) of less than 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. Applicants admitted within this category will be placed on probation.

Admission Grade Point Average (AGPA)The AGPA is calculated on post-secondary course work completed in the most recent two terms of study if they contain a minimum of 24 credits of course work. If these two terms contain fewer than 24 credits of course work, all work in the next most recent term(s) is included in the calculation until a minimum of 24 credits of post-secondary course work is reached. Full-year courses are considered winter courses in the calculation. For applicants who have completed fewer than 24 credits of post-secondary work, the AGPA is based on all post-secondary credits attempted as long as a minimum of 9 credits have been completed. An AGPA is not calculated on fewer than 9 credits of post-secondary course work completed.

Graduation Grade Point Average (GGPA)The GGPA is calculated by dividing the sum of total grade points achieved and counted towards a program credential by the sum of all those credits.

Skills appraisalApplicants may be required to complete the Skills Appraisal Exam. Unless otherwise specified, identified skills appraisal requirements must be completed by the beginning of the intake term. For details, refer to MacEwan.ca/SkillsAppraisal.

English language proficiencyAll applicants must meet an acceptable level of English language proficiency. We will require official documents such as high school or post-secondary transcripts or proof of successful completion of standardized language evaluation. Full details are available in MacEwan University’s Academic Calendar or online at MacEwan.ca/ELP.

Spoken English proficiencyApplicants who speak English as a second language – regardless of citizenship – are required to submit official documents such as high school, post-secondary transcripts or proof of successful completion of standardized language evaluation. Full details are available in MacEwan University’s Academic Calendar or online at MacEwan.ca/ELP.
