33.1 Admission and Transfer
General University admission requirements are detailed in §§13 and 14. Detailed admission requirements for the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences are specified in §15.1.
The Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences functions under enrolment management. As such, the Faculty's total student enrolment is limited. All applications with the minimum Admission Grade Point Average (AGPA) are evaluated and ranked as part of an applicant pool. Spaces in programs are allocated to the top applications in the applicant pool downward until the spaces in the programs are filled. Therefore, in any given year, the AGPA cutoff to a degree program may be higher than the minimum AGPA required for consideration.
Applicants should indicate their choice of a degree program and major on their application. Those who have not selected a major by the end of their first year in the program shall be required to declare one before registering for the next academic year.
Residence Requirement: A maximum of two years of transfer credit completed outside the University of Alberta will be granted toward an undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences. This consists of 60 or its equivalent (10 full-courses or 20 half-courses). A minimum of 60 must be completed at the University of Alberta, of which a minimum of 30 must be completed while registered in this Faculty. However, the amount of transfer credit granted and the amount of credit completed while registered in this Faculty will vary depending on the requirements of the particular degree. Students are advised to discuss their course and program requirements with Student Services, 231 General Services Building. | |||||||
