CONTRIBUTING TO COMMUNITIES

SHAPING ALBERTA

CHANGING THE WORLD

U of A students in eight different health-care disciplines participate in the SHINE (Student Health Initiative for the Needs of Edmonton) Youth Clinic, providing free health services to this underserved population.

It was knowledge that helped put Alberta on the map. If today the province is known worldwide for its energy resources, it is thanks to the dreams and visions of past U of A faculty and alumni. In the 1920s, engineering professor Karl Clark created the hot water process for separating bitumen from oilsands. In 1947, led by geology professor Charlie Stelck’s insight to search for oil and gas near ancient coral reefs, former U of A students helped to discover Leduc No. 1 and Alberta’s Pembina Field in 1953.

Today the U of A actively contributes to energy-related advances and has become a world leader on ways to reduce the environmental impact of extraction.

The U of A is considered one of the world’s top research universities. We have 336 teaching and research agreements with governments and partner institutions in 50 countries.

Here are just a few examples of how our discoveries have made an impact:

1921: Played a key role in discovering insulin by refining the crude pancreatic extract obtained by other researchers so that it could be used in humans.

Almost eighty years later: Developed the Edmonton Protocol islet cell transplant method that is known around the world and is improving lives for many Type 1 diabetics.

1950s–1970s: Conducted research that paved the way for new antibiotics and blood reagent drugs to prevent organ transplant rejection and improved treatments for leukemia and hemophilia.

Discovered how carbohydrates bind to proteins—crucial to everything from immunology to cancer.

1978: Proved brain development depends on dietary fatty acid and, over the next 30 years, improved the brain functioning of millions of children worldwide by determining the ideal amount and types of fatty acids to include in infant formula.

1991: Granted the first international patent for the first antiviral therapy for hepatitis B, leading to treatments that save many lives every day.

1995: Developed the world’s first commercial medical application of nanotechnology: a stable form of silver that could be made into a bandage for treating burns and other wounds. These dressings are now used all over the world.

2010: The Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology places the U of A at the cutting edge of global virology research. This research is aimed at developing drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tests that will enhance global security and reduce the impact of viral infections on human health and the world economy.

The Community Service-Learning Program involves U of A students applying their skills in a variety of community organizations. For example, Sophia Barry, a third-year fine-arts student volunteers teaching music at an inner-city elementary school.

Service Learning Experience is a partnership between U of A residences and Habitat for Humanity. This year, 24 residence students worked shoulder-to-shoulder with villagers in Guatemala building houses for families in need.

On February 13, 1947, the Leduc No. 1 well made a huge oil strike, leading to Western Canada’s first major oil boom.

There’s a good reason why the Butanerds caused a stir at MIT. This team of bright students from the faculties of science, engineering and medicine attempted to engineer E.coli bacteria to produce butanol, an alternative biofuel. Less of a pollutant than gasoline, more energy dense than other biofuels and directly compatible with existing vehicles, bacterially-produced butanol could mean great things for the environment.

Dr. Gregory Thiemann (biological sciences) is one of a small number of Canadian researchers studying the effects of climate change on polar bears. Dr. Thiemann, an Alberta Ingenuity Postdoctoral Prize Fellow, is working with polar bears to help better understand the Arctic ecosystem. Dr. Thiemann’s research not only deals with conservation but also has important social, political and cultural implications. It creates an understanding of the changing Arctic climate and changing human impacts on the North.

Dr. Ian Mann (physics) operates at the top—literally. He is a leading authority in the study of the Earth’s magnetosphere, the outermost layer of our atmosphere, and one of the newest inductees to Canada’s Top 40 Under 40. His innovative work on space activities creates enormous scientific and economic opportunities for Canada and spans from space exploration, to the mitigation of space weather effects to improving the utilization of space for the benefit of Canadians. As co-director of the U of A’s Institute for Space Science, Exploration and Technology, Dr. Mann also heads up a series of youth programs, including the U of A’s Canada-Norway student exchange program, which provides opportunities for hands-on research experience in sounding rockets and payload instrument design.

Dr. Hasan Uludag (chemical and materials engineering) and his team are working with a building block protein produced in early childhood to help strengthen and regenerate adult bones. Thanks to Dr. Uludag and his team of researchers, potentially life-threatening, late-life bone fractures could become a thing of the past. The team’s goal is to trick the proteins so that they are deposited directly to fragile bones that need reinforcement via a series of injections. The U of A is a world pioneer in attempting to bring this treatment to market.

I am passionate about primary prevention of illness and public-health initiatives; through the University of Alberta’s Skin Cancer Awareness program and as the Class of 2013’s Community Health Representative, I enjoy talking to younger students about simple things that they can do to improve their quality of life, like wearing sunscreen and exercising daily. In addition, I have learned through the U of A’s Patient Centred Care program how to show people that they can be their own best health care provider. In practise, I want to emphasize the prevention of illness over the treatment of avoidable problems.”

TrANSITION YEAr PrOGrAM (TYP)

The Transition Year Program is designed to provide additional postsecondary opportunities for Aboriginal students who may not meet the general entrance requirements at the U of A. It is not an upgrading program, but a customized cohort program in which students are enrolled full-time in three to four courses per term. TYP includes many supports and services, including tutors, study skills workshops, and academic advising to help students succeed in the transition into university. For more information, visit the Aboriginal Student Services Centre (ASSC) online at www.ualberta.ca/aboriginalservices.

NONMATrIculATED APPlIcANTS

If you are 21 or older and do not meet the admission criteria through our regular admission requirements, you may still be admissible as a nonmatriculated (mature) applicant. For complete details on how to be considered as a nonmatriculated applicant, visit our website at www.registrar.ualberta.ca/nma.

INTErNATIONAl BAccAlAurEATE/ADvANcED PlAcEMENT APPlIcANTS

We recognize students that tackle the academic rigors of the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP) programs in a number of ways—from early final admission based on predicted IB diploma scores, to transfer credit and advanced placement based on final AP and IB results. We also offer specialized scholarships and advising for IB and AP students. For complete details look for our IB and AP booklets in your high school counselling office or visit: www.registrar.ualberta.ca/iB www.registrar.ualberta.ca/AP

In addition to your high-school transcripts, if you have completed any IB or AP exams we require your official International Baccalaureate (IB) transcript; request at www.ibo.org/iba/transcripts or Advanced Placement (AP) transcript; request at www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/exgrd.html. We recommend speaking with your AP or IB co-ordinator at your high school if you have questions.

EArlY ADMISSION

We offer early admission to many of our programs, providing your grades meet or exceed the competitive average. The advantage of early admission is that you will be eligible to register in courses earlier than if you wait until your final grades are available.

Students offered early admission must meet all conditions outlined in their admission letter in order to have their final admission confirmed.

FINAl ADMISSION

Official and final transcripts are required and must be issued and sent by the appropriate authority as indicated below. As document deadlines and requirements vary by program, be sure to check Bear Tracks for your “To Do List” and document deadline(s).

ApplyAlberta

ApplyAlberta is a new web-based application and transcript system that undergraduate applicants use to apply to Alberta public postsecondary institutions. Through this service applicants also authorize institution(s) to request the transfer of high-school transcripts from Alberta Education and postsecondary transcripts from participating institutions. There is no charge for this service. See www.registrar.ualberta.ca/applyalberta for more information.

Applicants are responsible for obtaining transcripts from non-participating Alberta institutions and out-of-province institutions as well as institutions outside of Canada.

U of A applicants must refer to Bear Tracks to verify what transcripts they are responsible for obtaining and what ones the U of A will request on the applicant’s behalf.

hIGh-SchOOl APPlIcANTS

Your official and final transcripts and other required documents must be received by August 1. Depending on the province where you finished high school, your transcripts are considered official and final when we receive them directly from:

AB: Alberta Education. The U of A will request this transcript on your behalf. Refer to your “To Do List” in Bear Tracks to verify.

BC: B.C. Ministry of Education

nT, YK, and nu: Department of Education

SK: Saskatchewan Learning

mB: your high school, including a stamp and official signature

On: your high school, including a stamp and official signature

QC: your secondary institution (i.e., CEGEP)

nB, nS, PEi: your high school, including a stamp and official signature

nL: Department of Education

POSTSEcONDArY TrANSFEr APPlIcANTS

Two copies of your official and final postsecondary transcripts, and any other required documents, must be sent directly from the issuing authority and received by the U of A by June 15 (for most programs). Refer to your “To Do List” in Bear Tracks to verify which transcripts you are responsible for requesting and which the U of A will request on your behalf through ApplyAlberta.

The application process is the first step towards your university education. Documents, deadlines and paperwork can be a challenge to figure out, as well as what you have to do and when you have to do it by! Take some time to carefully read the admission requirements section of this viewbook to ensure that you are familiar with everything that needs to be done. Just remember: the earlier we receive your required items, the sooner we will be able to consider you for admission.

GAininG ADmiSSiOn – HinTS AnD TiPS


We want you to succeed and our admissions policy ensures that all students, regardless of citizenship or country of origin, have the necessary language skills to understand, participate, write and learn in our classes.

ENGlISh lANGuAGE PrOFIcIENcY

The primary language of instruction at the U of A is English, with the exception of Campus Saint-Jean (French). Your overall language proficiency is sufficient if you have three or more years of full-time education in English, normally including the Grade 12 year or higher, in a Canadian school (or an approved school outside of Canada with accepted English proficiency). If you do not present these years of English education, you may be able to meet this requirement in other ways. For details, go to www.registrar.ualberta.ca/elp.

SPOkEN ENGlISh lANGuAGE PrOFIcIENcY

If you are entering the teaching and health-sciences disciplines, you must have strong spoken English skills in order to work successfully with students and patients. Spoken English proficiency must be demonstrated and is normally met with six years of full-time education in English in Canada.

For complete details on language proficiency requirements, please see §13.3 of our online Calendar at www.registrar.ualberta.ca/calendar.

FrENch lANGuAGE PrOFIcIENcY

The primary language of instruction at Campus Saint-Jean is French; therefore, you will need to demonstrate written and spoken proficiency in the French language prior to admission (rather than English language proficiency). See §183.1.2 of our online Calendar at www.registrar.ualberta.ca/calendar for further details.

Admission requirements for both direct entry and preprofessional programs are listed in Charts 1 and 3.

As requirements may change, it is recommended that you check our website at www.registrar.ualberta.ca/admissions for the most up-to-date information on program and admission requirements.

The Grade 12 subjects listed are based on the Alberta Education curriculum and nomenclature. Prospective students from other provinces and territories should refer to the Out-of-Province Grade 12 Course Equivalencies Chart on pages 58 and 59 for subject equivalencies.

While you can enter into the first year of most programs directly from high school, other programs require you to complete preprofessional study before you can be admitted. In some programs students must have one or more years of study at the university-level or even an entire degree before they can apply. For example, Business, Education, Law and Medicine require preprofessional study.
