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 postsecondary 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 4,2 0fu0ll and part-time students on a campus overlooking the beautiful Oldman River. Another 1,500 students are enroled 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 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 suites, club rooms, Alumni offices, CKUL Radio, the Meliorist, 24-hour study lounges and more. The Bookstore, all Student Affairs Departments, the Cashier's Office and 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 Lethbridge 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, Piikani 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. 6 ACADEMIC SCHEDULE SUN MON JANUARY 1993 TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 1993 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 JANUARY 1 Statutory Holiday - University offices closed. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 4 Registration for newly admitted Faculty of Management, School of Nursing and School of Fine Arts students for the 1993 Spring Semester. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 5 New Student Registration. 25 26 27 28 29 30 Orientation meeting for Professional Semester II students in the Faculty of Education. 6 First day of classes for the 1993 Spring Semester. 6-7 Evening hours, 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. Registration for Visiting students, part-time evening students and late registration for all other students (in-person only). 6-12 Registration for Visiting students and late registration for all other students. 12 Last day for course Add / Drop for the 1993 Spring Semester, including Independent Studies. 13-14 Registration for Occasional students.

For this purpose, a student who left under Academic Probation would be expected to complete not less than five transferable semester courses, and a student who left due to Required to Withdraw would be expected to complete not less than ten transferable courses, in a satisfactory manner. f. 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 specific course requirements for the second degree, depending on the applicability of the courses to the curriculum and the standard of performance achieved.

Alberta High School Credits 1. Credit for English 30 and three other subjects from the following list with an overall average of at least 60% and a minimum mark of 50% in any subject: Note: The blended grade, which averages the school-assigned final grade and the Departmental examination grade, will be used where applicable in calculating this average. Biology 30 Japanese 35 Blackfoot (by special assessment) Latin 30 Chinese 35 Mathematics 30 Cree (by special assessment) Mathematics 31 Chemistry 30 Physics 30 French 20N, 20S, 30, 30N, 30S, 31 OR Science 30 Language and Literature 30 Social Studies 30 German 30 or 31 Spanish 35 Italian 35 Ukrainian 30 2. A fifth subject at the Grade 12 level with a minimum mark of 50%. The grade in the fifth subject is not used in computing the average for admission purposes. The fifth subject may be any combination of Grade 12 courses offered for five credits as part of the Alberta High School curriculum, provided that they do not duplicate one of the disciplines noted above, e.g., credit for both English 30 and 33 will not be counted. Grades and courses from outside Alberta which have been ev_ luated by agencies other than the original educational institution a • subject to review and adjustment by the University of I hbridge. b. G Canadian High School Credits nission average for all Canadian high schools is calculated on the •a basis that is used for Alberta applicants. That is: English 30 or its rivalent course or courses and three academic Grade 12 coursec ,:omparable to Alberta 30-level courses. In addition, completion of a fifth Grade 12 level course is required but does not affect the admission average. No course will be considered if the final grade is less than 50%.

Early Admission The University's Early Admission Progr m enables ,s of admission to students prior to completion of reg , iar high school requirements. Early admission may be granted to :urrently enroled students in Canadian high schools on the following basis: 14 1. Following the close of applications on the April 1 preceding the Fall semester of admission, a predetermined 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. The Early Admission average shall be calculated using a combination of final and estimated Grade 12 blended grades. Grade 11 final grades are used to estimate final grades for subjects for which final 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. At least two of the grades used in the calculation must be final grades. 3. 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 as predicted grades. Early Admission shall be open to all new postsecondary applicants currently enroled in 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 10b) is provided by the Early Admission 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 the 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.
