B.11 Full-Time and Part-Time Status


Undergraduate students are considered full-time when they register in nine units or more per term for the fall and winter terms, and six units or more during the spring/summer terms. Students are considered part-time when they register in fewer than nine units per term for the fall and winter terms, and three units during the spring/summer terms. The exception is students who have an approved accommodation for a reduced course load.

Students who would like to pursue their studies on a part-time basis should consult with the faculty advising office as special permission may be required. Faculties that allow part-time studies without prior approval include the Faculties of Arts and Kinesiology.

Graduate students should consult section G.D.3.2 Course-Based Programs of the Graduate Calendar.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
