A.5.6.2 Indigenous Admission Supplementary Process
Students who do not meet the course requirements as outlined in sections A.5.1.1 Undergraduate Admission Requirements or A.5.3.1 Transfer Admission Requirements or whose average is below consideration for the Indigenous Admission Process can be considered under the Indigenous Admission Supplementary Process. To be eligible for consideration under this process, students must:
Provide a personal statement in the format of the student’s choice (oral, written, video etc.) that outlines their educational goals and how their past education, cultural knowledge, life and work experiences will enable them to succeed in university studies.
Indigenous citizenship/membership must be verified before students will be considered for the Indigenous Admission Supplementary Process. See details online: Indigenous admissions process | Future Students | University of Calgary
A faculty-specific admission committee will review all complete applications. Not all faculties may consider students for admission through this process.
For the Indigenous Admissions Supplementary Process, students who present required courses (see A.5.4 Adult Student Admission) including successful completion of ELA 30-1 and at least two additional 30-level approved courses (that may include one 30 level option) may be admitted directly to the degree program. For transfer applicants, faculties may waive post-secondary required courses when completion of required courses can be accommodated within degree progression. Students who do not present the required courses may be admitted to an Indigenous pathway program.
The following Indigenous pathway programs provide academic preparation and may consider students with courses at the 20 or 30-2 level. Upon successful completion of pathway program requirements, students are guaranteed admission to the degree program.
A high school diploma is not required.
References may be requested at the discretion of the faculty admission committee.
