February 10, 2025 February 2025: We have answers to your most common questions! Hello from the UCalgary Admissions and Recruitment Office! We’re excited to share the second edition of our FAQ blog for the 2024-25 academic year. In this series, we’ll address some of the most frequently asked questions we’ve received from prospective students over the past month. (1).png) Can I still submit my application? All students currently in courses (high school or post-secondary) are admitted conditionally. That means to finalize your spot at UCalgary you need to meet the conditions outlined in your Student Centre. At a minimum, you must complete all required courses for admission and maintain the competitive admission average. You can view your conditions of admission by clicking on the ‘status’ button in your Student Centre.
What is the Equitable and Inclusive Admission Process? What’s the admitting average for each program? Admission averages are finalized once the pool of applicants is known, after the March 1 application deadline and do change throughout the admission cycle. For students who haven’t received an offer, we recommend that they consider the estimated competitive admission averages highlighted on our Admission Requirements website, as these are the competitive ranges for our programs. We encourage students to be strategic about their program choices. Students can change their program choices up until March 1.
Congratulations! UCalgary has an Admission Next Steps page to support you. First, make sure you hold your spot by accepting your offer and paying your deposit. UCalgary requires that all students accept their offer and pay a non-refundable admission deposit; the admission deposit will be used towards your first-year tuition. Offer of admission details and the deposit deadline are available in your Student Centre (my.ucalgary.ca).
The University of Calgary offers multiple payment options for students. Which method is right for you depends on if you hold a Canadian bank account, if you’re paying from outside Canada, or if you wish to pay by credit card. The preferred method of payment for all students is a bank-to-bank transfer through Canadian online banking. International students are advised to get a Canadian bank account after landing in Canada. Instructions for these payment methods can be found on the How to Pay Your Fees page. Students are advised to take the listed processing time into account when making payments. Students should ensure their payments are received by the relevant term fee deadline. International payments through CIBC Student Pay or Convera Global Pay can be subject to delays outside the university’s control. I haven’t received an offer from either of my program choices after the second review. What are my options? Some applicants who have not received an offer for either of their program choices but still qualify for other majors will receive an e-mail from the Admission office with further information regarding changing their second choice application ahead of the March 1, 2025 deadline. If you have not received and offer of admission, we highly recommend connecting with your region-specific recruiter, who can walk through options available.
University of Calgary’s main campus Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) program is adjusting its admission process beginning Fall 2026 in response to increasing admission averages and the high numbers of nurses leaving the profession within the first two years of practice. By shifting to a lottery approach, qualified applicants will have an equal chance of admission. To learn more about these changes:
