220.7 Exceptional Student Athlete Applicants

    Prospective students who do not meet the normal admission requirements for entrance to degree programs may be considered for admission under this category. Successful applicants will be approved to register as Open Studies students in a maximum of *12 per term. If granted, this approval will be permitted for a maximum of one Fall and Winter term only, after which students must apply to a degree program in order to continue.

220.7.1 Admission Requirements for Exceptional Student Athlete Applicants

(1)

All applicants must meet the admission criteria for Open Studies as stated in §220.2.1, as well as that for Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) eligibility, and must consult with Faculties that they intend to apply for following their Open Studies registration.

(2)

All applicants must display a level of sport performance that

a.

can be documented objectively by an independent external source (i.e., league commissioner, national team coaching staff) and possess athletic prowess that would be acceptable to any CIS participating institution

b.

requires a minimum annual average of 15 training/competition hours per week in the year immediately before application to the University of Alberta.

(3)

All applicants must submit an application for admission to the Office of the Registrar and Student Awards together with all high school and postsecondary transcripts.

(4)

In addition to (3), all applicants must file additional documentation to the Exceptional Student Athletes Admission Committee in the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation. This documentation will attest to their eligibility as an exceptional athlete (see (2) above). This documentation is then screened by the Committee to ensure the above eligibility criteria have been met. Applicants from non-CIS sports will not be considered.

(5)

The application for admission and all relevant material must be submitted no later than August 1.
