university hall Residences

on-campus housingFirst year students entering straight from high school can apply online to stay in the University Hall traditional-style dorms, or in one, two or four bedroom apartments in Kainai House. These

are fully furnished rooms, so expect to find a bed (with captain’s storage space), a desk, and a place to hang your clothes. Staying in campus housing is a great way to get to know people as you can get involved in activities with ORS (Organization of Residence Students), or just by hanging out in the numerous common areas, watching TV, or playing games.

You won’t have to worry about grocery shopping, cooking every meal, or cleaning up as you’ll be purchasing a Food Services dining plan. There are shared kitchen spaces in the U-Hall dorms so that you can cook a few light snacks. If you live in the Kainai apartments, you will purchase a reduced dining plan, as you will have access to full kitchen facilities.

additional housing amenitiesMost residence areas are equipped with common rooms, games rooms, study and meeting areas, coin-operated or swipe card laundry centres, and activity centres.

For more information on housing and dining plans, visit www.uleth.ca/housingwww.uleth.ca/food

Demand is high for residence and applications are accepted online starting September 15 for the following fall semester. Apply early at www.uleth.ca/housing/onlineservices

Traditional style dorm rooms (furnished)

$1,112 - $1,904(per semester)

Apartments and Townhomes (furnished)

$2,220 - $3,532

off-campus housingOne of the benefits to living in a city divided by a river is that the entire west side, where the U of L is located, features extensive off-campus housing close to campus. Since the majority of

our students live on the west side, its practically an extension of residence. When you’re out and about you’re bound to run into other students (or even your professors) at the local grocery store, restaurant, or park.

The north and south sides of Lethbridge also feature many housing options, as well as the majority of the city’s shopping, restaurants and entertainment venues. No matter what area you choose to live in, you’re never more than a fifteen-minute drive away from campus.

The U of L manages an off-campus housing list, which you can find by visiting www.uleth.ca/offcampushousing

Whether you’re finishing high school or you’re out in the workforce, you may struggle with finding your passion and knowing how to connect it with a career.

It can be particularly difficult to focus on your passion when you’re under pressure to define a specific job. Remember this: it’s about the journey, not the destination.

Your education isn’t just about what you learn in the classroom, it’s also about the experiences you receive outside the classroom. From co-op and applied studies, to independent studies, international exchanges and combined degree programs, the U of L is committed to providing you with as many learning opportunities as you have energy to complete. In the classroom, we’ll focus on teaching you how to learn so that if you hit the workforce a month, a year, or even five years after graduation, you’ll be prepared with the knowledge and skills required for whatever your new journey throws at you.

One of the many benefits to attending a smaller school like the U of L is the personalized experience. It doesn’t matter where you go for help, we’re ready to direct you to assistance for whatever you may need.

Co-operativeeducation/intershipsCo-op enables you to test-drive some possible careers through paid, degree-specialized programs. Co-op provides a way for you to fund your education, make employer contacts, and come one step closer to finding your dream job. Work

terms can be between four and 16 months in length and can start in January, May, or September. Co-op is available to all Arts, Science, and Management majors.

applied studiesWith an applied study, you can get course credit for work and volunteer experience, whether it’s related to your degree or not. It’s a great way to learn from your personal experiences and build a great resume. Applied studies are available for all majors.

independent studiesIndependent studies allow students to participate and explore within their program area. There is a three-course sequencing guide, developed to help students first learn the necessary research and presentation techniques. Then its time for the hands-on learning in the lab while assisting their professors or completing their own research. Independent studies are available to all majors.

international exchangesStudents at the U of L have exciting opportunities to spend one, or sometimes two, semesters studying abroad. The International Centre for Students will help plan your trip to a U of L partner institution. These institutions are located all around the world, from Germany and Japan to Australia and England, and many others. While you’re studying abroad, you pay U of L tuition, are guaranteed on-campus housing at your host institution, and you fulfill course credit towards your degree. Travel abroad opportunities also exist for many practicums, professional semesters, and Management majors in a variety of destinations. The International Centre also facilitates international internship opportunities.

Combined Degree programsIf you’re interested in specializing in areas offered by two faculties, you may consider pursuing a Combined Degree program. This option typically takes five years, but you will graduate with two degrees. Completing two degrees at once will allow you to study two areas you are passionate about. Check with your Faculty advisor for more information about these programs.

Career & employment servicesThe employability of university students is based on a combination of in-class knowl-edge and out-of-class experiences. Out-of-class experiences broaden your learning environment and allow you to grow and develop personally and professionally. You will discover where your degree can take you, allowing you to be more competitive and directed in today’s job market.

Career and Employment Services (CES) also specializes in informing and assisting you with career exploration and work search needs. They connect you with employers and employment opportunities through on-campus visits, career fairs, and other great events. CES also hosts several workshops in areas such as resume and cover letter writing, job search strategies, and interview techniques.

Confused about yourcareer direction?Why not take a “for-credit” course in career development: CDEV 2000? In this course students will be guided in the development of personal, occupational, and educational plans. A variety of activities will be used to help students craft appropriate career goals, and to identify and develop the skills and supports necessary for success.

“There are things you learn in University that you think are not applicable at all, until

you go out working and you realize that they are. I would work to relate all of my other classes back to animation because that was my key interest.”
