It is a provincial university with membership in the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. The University of Lethbridge participates with the universities and other post-secondary institutions of Alberta in a variety of cooperative programs and activities. The University of Lethbridge was established in 1967 with a student population of 638. It has grown to its current population of about 4,200 full and part-time students on a campus overlooking the beautiful Oldman River. Another 1,500 students are enrolled in Summer School studies. LOCATION The University is located on 457 acres in west Lethbridge, a growing sub-division in Alberta's third largest city with a population of approximately 64,000 people. The centre of a prosperous farming and ranching area, Lethbridge is characterized by its many green areas and parks, and its abundant cultural and recreational facilities. It is located in southern Alberta, 90 miles east of the Canadian Rockies and 60 miles north of the United States border. FACILITIES The campus, designed by architect Arthur Erickson, has received international acclaim for its architectural originality and functional design. University Hall University Hall is a place where students learn, study and live. This facility houses the cafeteria, some residences, classrooms, science laboratories, library and some administrative offices. The University Centre for the Arts This facility, officially opened in September, 1981, houses the Departments of Art, Dramatic Arts, Music and the Fine Arts components of the Faculty of Education. It features a 406-seat multi-purpose theatre, a 203-seat recital hall/film theatre, the University Art Gallery, classrooms, practice rooms and studios. The Centre has become the focus of southern Alberta's cultural scene offering world-class performances in the arts in addition to faculty and student productions. Physical Education Building For physical education majors as well as those who want a break from their studies, this facility provides gymnasia, weight room, sauna and steam room facilities in addition to the classrooms, administrative offices and auxiliary spaces. Adjacent to the building is an Olympic standard track, soccer pitch and tennis courts. Service Buildings Four service buildings complete the campus, housing a Child Care Centre and various service departments. Max Bell Regional Aquatic Centre The Max Bell Regional Aquatic Centre features an Olympic standard swimming pool. The Aquatic Centre has an eight-lane, 50 metre pool tank, three and five metre diving towers and a 250-seat spectator gallery. Movable bulkheads make it possible for three separate activities at one time, and an adjustable floor makes the pool accessible to non-swimmers, young children and disabled and handicapped persons. Students' Union Building (SUB) Opened in the Fall of 1990, the SUB is a joint project of the Students' Union, University and Government of Alberta. Overlooking the Oldman River Valley, the Students' Union occupies 55% of the SUB, featuring a retail floor, a cabaret hall, food kiosks, office suite, club rooms, Alumni offices, CKUL Radio, the Meliorist, 24 hours study lounges, and more. The Bookstore, all Student Affairs departments, the Cashier's Office and the Registrar's office are also located in the SUB. Turcotte Hall Turcotte Hall, adjacent to the Physical Education Building, is a welcome addition to the University of Lethbridge campus. The first two floors of the three-storey building houses faculty offices, classrooms, seminar rooms and study areas in use by the departments of Anthropology, Philosophy and History. The third floor houses the University of Lethbndge School of Nursing. Aperture Park Aperture Park is comprised of two apartment buildings and two townhouse complexes. The names of the four buildings, Kainai House, Plikani House, Siksika House and Tsuut'ina House, are the respective Blackfoot words for the Blood, Peigan, Blackfoot and Sarcee tribes of southern Alberta. The one, two and four-bedroom furnished apartments are attractive alternatives to the dormitory-style residences in University Hall. The University of Lethbridge is able to provide family housing in the 54 two and three-bedroom townhouse units.

Flexibility and openness to innovation will be the distinguishing feature of the University of Lethbridge. Notwithstanding its intention to offer diverse subject matter contributing to the acquisition of professional skills, the University regards learning as an end in itself, not merely as a means to material ends. Its primary aims are to foster the spirit of free inquiry and the critical interpretation of ideas. The undergraduate is, and should remain, the focus of the University's endeavour. Students are invited to participate in all phases of university life. The highest degree of interaction between students and faculty is encouraged, and should not be confined to the physical limits of the campus. It is desirable and necessary that the University should relate closely to the local community. Nevertheless, its outlook should not be determined by any regional or sectional interest. Through exposures to cosmopolitan influences and diverse cultures, scholars are best able to evaluate their own social and cultural milieux. The University asserts its right and responsibility for free expression and communication of ideas. It is self-evident that a university cannot function without complete autonomy in this domain. 5 1992 ACADEMIC SCHEDULE SUN MON JANUARY 1992 TUE WED THU 1 2 FRI 3 SAT 4 JANUARY 1 Statutory Holiday - University offices closed. 2 Registration for newly admitted Faculty of Management.

To study for a degree program offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science. Bachelor of Arts and Science); 2. To prepare for admission to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Art), Bachelor of Fine Arts (Dramatic Arts), Bachelor of Management and Bachelor of Music degree programs; 3. To prepare for admission to any of the Combined Degree Programs, which include: Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Education Bachelor of Fine Arts (Art)/Bachelor of Education Bachelor of Fine Arts (Dramatic Arts)/Bachelor of Education Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Education Bachelor of Management/Bachelor of Education Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Management Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Management; 4. To enrol in one of the professional transfer programs in Agriculture, Dentistry, Engineering, Food Science, Forestry, Home Economics, Journalism, Law, Medicine, Optometry, Social Work or Veterinary Medicine; Applicants should note that although admission may be granted to a program or pre-program in the Faculty of Arts and Science, eligibility to enrol in specific courses may be denied if the appropriate high school prerequisite course has not been completed (e.g. Statistics 1770, which is required for a B.Mgt. degree, has a prerequisite of Mathematics 30 or 33). Applicants should consult an Admissions Officer if they are concerned about prerequisite courses for their desired program. Admission to a pre-professional program in the Faculty of Arts and Science provides no assurance of subsequent admission to the professional program. b. Admission to other programs within the University of Lethbridge Admission to the B.F.A. (Art), B.F.A. (Dramatic Arts), B.Mgt., B.Mus., B.N. and all combined degree programs takes place normally at the third-year level of studies. Students preparing to seek admission to these degree programs must be sure to select courses during their studies in a pre-program in the Faculty of Arts and Science that fulfill the admission requirements. As all Faculties/Schools have quotas, completion of admission requirements for a program does not guarantee admission to the program. Admission to the Professional Diploma program in Education or the Master of Education program requires a B.Ed. or equivalent. Admission to the Special Case Master's program requires a 40 semester course Bachelor's degree. c. Professional Transfer Programs Applicants who intend to enrol in one of the professional transfer programs should note that an applicant without the recommended admission subjects for a particular professional program may be admissible to a program or pre-program in the Faculty of Arts and Science, but then may require a longer period to meet the requirements for the professional program. Such applicants may be required to complete prerequisite matriculation courses. d. Transfer from Other Universities or Colleges to the University of Lethbridge Applicants who have previously attended one or more other postsecondary institutions must meet the admission requirements of the intended University of Lethbridge program. Such applicants may need to seek admission to a pre-program in the Faculty of Arts and Science to complete the admission requirements for the B.F.A. (Art), B.F.A. (Dramatic Arts), B.Mgt., B.Mus., B.N. or any combined degree program. Upon admission, students are assigned credit for subjects comparable to courses offered at the University of Lethbridge that are passed with acceptable grades. For further information, see Transfer and Evaluation Policies, Section 11. 13 e. Second Bachelor Degree Students Applicants with undergraduate degrees may be admissible to the University of Lethbridge to pursue a second degree. Some courses taken for the previous degree may be used to satisfy the specific course requirements for the second degree, depending on the applicability of the courses to the curriculum and the standard of performance achieved. Students are not eligible to pursue a second degree which is similar to that already completed at another recognized institution. f.

Following the close of applications on the April 1 preceding the Fall semester of admission, a pre-determined number of applicants will be selected from among those who submitted Early Admission applications and all necessary supporting documents. Successful applicants will be identified on the basis of actual and predicted academic achievement. 2. For applicants from secondary schools using the semester system, the Early Admission average shall be calculated using a combination of final Gradel2 blended grades and, Grade 11 final grades from subjects which are required for admission, but for which the Grade 12 actual grades are not yet available. For example, if the applicant is currently registered in English 30 and has therefore received no final grade, the grade obtained in English 20 will be used to compute the average. 3. For students from a school using the year-long course (linear) system, all grades used in the calculation must be predicted. 4. The application form must be signed by the school counsellor or other appropriate school official as verification that the student is currently enroled in the Grade 12 courses where Grade 11 final grades were substituted in the calculation, or for students from schools on a year-long system, as verification of the predicted grades. Early admission shall be open to all new postsecondary applicants presenting credentials from Canadian high schools. Early Admission is available to non-Canadians currently studying at Canadian high schools under student visas, provided that acceptable proof of English Language Proficiency (see Section 10(b), 2) is provided by the application deadline. Early Admission is not available to students currently studying outside Canada. Final high school transcripts must be forwarded directly to the University from the provincial Department of Education by August 15 preceding the semester of admission. If final grades are not submitted by that date, the University reserves the right to withdraw admission. The University reserves the right to withdraw admission at any time, should the student's final admission qualifications fall below the standards required for admission to the University. Students are advised to consult their School Guidance Counsellors for applications and detailed instructions. d.

Mature Student - Open to Canadian and Landed Immigrant Students The Mature Student admission route is available to unmatriculated applicants whose credentials do not satisfy the basic admission criteria of any other admission route. The intent of the Mature Student admission route is to provide a certain number of positions for such applicants deemed by Admissions to have potential for success at the postsecondary level which is at least equal to that of applicants meeting the prevailing admission criteria for High School applicants. In making this determination, Admissions will consider any or all of the following: - Transcripts of all high school and postsecondary experience of the applicant; - Life experiences since leaving normal secondary attendance; - Standardized test scores - any of SAT, ACT, CPT or CAAT, Level D. The Mature Student application is required to provide, in addition to the regular application for undergraduate admission, the following: 1.

The Admissions Office, at its discretion, may request an interview. The applicant may be offered admission by this route when, in the opinion of Admissions, the applicant's potential for academic success at the University of Lethbridge is at least equal to that of applicants who meet the prevailing admission criteria for High School applicants. In making this determination, Admissions will consider whether the applicant has acquired through a combination of academic and life experience the reading, writing, organizational and other skills necessary for success in their intended program of study. The decision of Admissions may be appealed in writing to the Coordinator, Admissions. The number of spaces available for Mature Student Admission in any semester shall be limited. When the number of applicants offered admission by this route is less than the number of spaces, some of these spaces may be assigned to other admission routes.
