3.2.1 Faculty of Kinesiology - Indigenous Pathway
General Information
In response to Calls to Action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the University’s Indigenous Strategy (ii' taa'poh'to'p), the Faculty of Kinesiology provides an opportunity for those who identify as Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit) to be admitted under the Indigenous Admission Process and/or the Indigenous Admission Supplementary Process. Prospective Indigenous students who have not completed all high school courses normally required for admission (see Undergraduate Degree Admission Requirements) will be considered for admission to the Faculty of Kinesiology Indigenous Pathway when they apply. Those admitted to the Indigenous Pathway will be guaranteed admission to their desired program in the Faculty of Kinesiology upon completion of foundation courses as outlined in the table below.
Students in the Indigenous Pathway will meet with a Faculty of Kinesiology Undergraduate Program Advisor for pathway advising and the Writing Symbols Lodge for academic, personal, and cultural support.
Pathway Requirements
The Pathway is individualized to each student and will be finalized after admission to the program in consultation with a Faculty of Kinesiology Undergraduate Program Advisor for pathway advising. Students will normally complete all required foundation courses in their first term. Students may take a specified number of other 200-level courses alongside foundation courses as approved by the Faculty of Kinesiology Indigenous Admissions Committee to meet requirements for full-time status (see B.11 Full-time and Part-Time Status). After completion of required foundation courses with a grade of "C-" or higher, students will be admitted to their degree program in the Faculty of Kinesiology.
