Still deciding what to study?

Admission Requirements
Minimum of 60% in ENG 30-1 or 70% in ENG 30-2. Successful completion of ENGL0190 or equivalent is also acceptable. Students from other institutions may have transcripts evaluated for advanced standing.

If academic requirements are not met, you will need to do an ACCUPLACER assessment. ACCUPLACER minimum levels: 80 in Reading Comp., 85 in Sentence skills, and 6+ in WritePlacer. Contact the nearest campus to set up an appointment. For international students, refer to the International Student Guide.

Other Requirements: 
  • Students must be at least 18 years of age.
  • Students who meet the academic requirements will be mailed an information package and asked to present a personal written statement and a resume.

  • Practicum agencies may require a Police Information Check and an Alberta Children's Services Intervention Record Check of students placed in their organizations. The inability to present clear checks may prevent a student from completing the program requirements. Contact the Program Coordinator for further information.
