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 4,000 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 rece ved 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 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. These were completed in December 1990. The third floor, when completed later in 1991, will house 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. PROGRAMS The Faculty of Arts and Science offers instruction leading to the degrees Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Bachelor Arts and Sciences (BASc.). The Faculty of Education offers instruction leading to the degrees Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) and Master of Eduction (M.Ed.). The Faculty also offers a post-baccalaureate Professional Diploma in Education (D.P.E.). The School of Fine Arts offers the degrees Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.). The Faculty of Management offers the degree Bachelor of Management (B.Mgt.) as well as certificate and post-baccalaureate diploma programs. The School of Nursing offers the post-basic degree, Bachelor of Nursing (B.N.). The University also offers programs for transfer to professional faculties at other universities in Agriculture, Dentistry, Engineering, Environmental Design, Food Science, Forestry, Home Economics, Law, Library Science, Medicine, Optometry, Social Welfare and Veterinary Medicine. A four-year Bachelor of Social Work is offered by the University of Calgary, in cooperation with the University of Lethbridge, on the Lethbridge campus. A public service program offered by Continuing Education is designed to meet the variety of educational needs and interests of the community. It consists of non-credit instruction, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, performances and workshops in the University's fields of study. These programs are offered both on campus and at off-campus locations and at times convenient to part-time students. 3 STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY In the process of transmitting and advancing higher learning, the University of Lethbridge endeavours to cultivate humane values; it seeks to foster intellectual growth, social development, aesthetic sensitivity, personal ethics and physical well-being; it seeks to cultivate the transcendental dimension of the scholar's personality. 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. 4 1991 ACADEMIC SCHEDULE 1991 - 1992 SUN MON JANUARY 1991 TUE WED THU 1 2 3 FRI 4 SAT 5 JANUARY 1 Tuesday - Statutory Holiday - University offices closed. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 2 Wednesday - Orientation and registration for newly admitted students for the 1991 Spring Semester. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 3 Thursday - First day of classes for the 1991 Spring Semester. 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Registration for newly admitted Faculty of Education, Faculty of Management, School of Nursing and School of Fine Arts students for the 1991 Spring Semester. 27 28 29 30 31 3-9 Thursday through Wednesday - Registration for Visiting and Special students, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Registration for part-time evening students, and late registration for all other students, 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. each evening except Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings - no Add/Drop during FEBRUARY 1991 evening hours.

Procedures for Admission (for currently enrolled students) to Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Management, or Bachelor of Nursing Programs f. Application Deadlines 1. INFORMATION AND ADVICE Inquines relating to admission should be directed to the Admissions Office located in Student Affairs. 2. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ADMISSION a. First-Year Students Every first-year student is admitted into the Faculty of Arts and Science. This admission is for applicants who intend: 1. To study for a degree in 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 Education, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Management and Bachelor of Music programs; 3. 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; 4. To commence general University studies without committing themselves initially to a particular program. Applicants should note that although admission may be granted to the Faculty of Arts and Science, eligibility to enrol in specific courses may be denied if the appropriate high school course has not been completed (e.g. Math 1510 or 1560 which is required for the B.Mgt. degree has a prerequisite of Math 30). Applicants should check with an Admissions Officer if they are concerned about prerequisite courses for their desired program. b. Admission to Other Programs within the University of Lethbridge Admission to the B.Ed., B.F.A., B.Mgt. and B.Mus. programs occurs at the third-year level of University studies. Students preparing to seek admission to these programs must be sure to select courses during their studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science that fulfill the admission requirements. As all Faculties/Schools have quotas, completion of admission requirements does not guarantee admission. Admission to the Professional Diploma Program in Education or the Master of Education program requires a B.Ed. degree or equivalent. 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 the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Lethbridge, but then may require a longer period to complete the professional program. Such applicants may be required to complete prerequisite matriculation courses. d. Transfer from Other Universities to the University of Lethbridge Applicants who have previously attended one or more other post-secondary institutions must meet the admission requirements of the intended University of Lethbridge program. Such applicants may need to seek admission to the Faculty of Arts and Science to complete the requirements for subsequent admission to the B.Ed., B.F.A., B.Mgt. and B.Mus. programs. Upon admission, students are assigned credit for subjects comparable to courses offered at the University of Lethbridge that are passed with acceptable grades. Specified credit in a subject area is assigned when there is a University of Lethbridge course equivalent to the course being transferred. Unspecified credit in a subject area is assigned when there is no course equivalent, but the course being transferred is acceptable in meeting subject requirements for a degree. Applicants who have completed courses at Alberta colleges are referred to the Alberta Transfer Guide for detailed information about transfer credit. The Guide is available through the respective college Admissions Office. e. Second Bachelor Degree Students Applicants with undergraduate degrees may be admissible to the University of Lethbridge to pursue a second degree. Depending upon their applicability to the curriculum and the standard of performance achieved, some courses taken for the previous degree may be credited toward a second degree. Students are not eligible to pursue a second degree program which is similar to that already completed at another recognized institution. Such applicants may be admitted as special students to pursue studies of interest. f. Visiting Students Applicants currently enrolled in a degree program at another accredited degree granting institution, who wish to enrol in courses at the University of Lethbridge, must have their home institution forward a "letter of permission" directly to the Admissions Office. This letter should specify courses which the student may take at the University of Lethbridge. Visiting Students should note that registration in specific courses is not guaranteed. g. Enrolment Limits Admission to the University does not constitute a guarantee that a student will be able to register for any specific course in a given semester. Enrolment limits are enforced by all Faculties and Schools when instructional resources become exhausted. 12 h. Admission Quotas Admission to the University or any program may be limited due to enrolment quotas. Applicants are encouraged to apply early. 3. ADMISSION TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE Admission to Faculty of Arts and Science programs may be gained by meeting the requirements of one of the following routes: a. Alberta High School Credits Applicants seeking admission on the basis of Alberta High School credentials must present: 1. A High School Diploma. 2. Credit for English 30 and three subjects from the following list with an overall average of 60% and a minimum mark of 50% in any subject. Note: The blended grade will be used where applicable in calculating this average. Biology 30 German 30 or 31 Blackfoot J by special Latin 30 Cree I. assessment Mathematics 30 Chemistry 30 Mathematics 31 French 30 Physics 30 French 31 or Language Social Studies 30 and Literature 30 Ukrainian 30 3. 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, i.e. credit for both English 30 and 33 will not be counted. b. Other Canadian High School Credits An applicant from another Canadian province who has completed the admission requirements of the university or universities of that province normally may be considered tor admission to the University of Lethbridge. Appropriate academic subjects and a satisfactory average are required for admission. Certificates Acceptable for University Admission British Columbia Grade 12 with appropriate subjects (C+average) Saskatchewan Division IV or Grade 12 standing with a 65% average on all group 30 level subjects presented for admission Manitoba Grade 12 with completion of the appropriate 300 and 301 level subjects (minimum 60% average) Ontario Complete Grade 13 or presentation of Ontario high school academic courses (minimum 60% average on appropriate subjects) Quebec One year of C.E.G.E.P. with subjects appropriate for university admission (60% minimum average) New Brunswick Grade 12 with appropriate subjects (minimum 60% average) Nova Scotia Grade 12 with appropriate subjects (minimum 60% average) Newfoundland Grade 12 with appropriate subjects (minimum 60% average) Prince Edward Grade 12 with appropriate subjects (minimum 60% Island average) c. Early Admission Early Admission is granted to currently enrolled Canadian High School students from Alberta/Northwest Territories, British Columbia/Yukon, and Saskatchewan, on the following basis: - These students must have an overall high school average of 70% or better. - If the school is on a year long system of classes (linear), all grades must be predicted. If the school is on a semester system, the grades are a combination of actual and predicted grades. Early Admission is also considered for currently enrolled Canadian High School students from other provinces. These students may be required to present more than two predicted grades. Early Admission requires the recommendation of a school official and is applicable only between mid March and the end of April. The school official can be the principal, vice-principal, or counsellor. International students who are currently enrolled in a Canadian High School program, who present official acceptable proof of English proficiency may be eligible for admission via this route. If a photocopy of English proficiency and other required documentation is received by the University of Lethbridge, the student will be tentatively admitted, and will receive an Early Admission Orientation/Registration form, Calendar, and high school transcript request form. For students presenting a combination of Canadian High School and foreign qualifications, acceptable documentation may include the student copy of the TOEFL exam score of 550 or greater and a copy of the Advanced and Ordinary level GCE results. Upon receiving official documents, the student admission status will change from tentative to Early Admitted and an Admission letter will be sent. The official Advanced and Ordinary GCE transcript is very difficult to replace, so will not usually be sent to the University ahead of time. The student may bring their copy to Orientation/Registration. Students are advised to consult their School Guidance Counsellors for applications. d. Alberta Colleges or Institutes of Technology The University will consider applicants who have successfully completed one year or more of studies at a recognized Alberta College or Institute of Technology and are recommended by that institution for university admission. For admission requirements, the University accepts courses offered by colleges which are deemed by the colleges to be equivalent to Alberta High School 30-level courses. e. Transfer from Accredited Colleges or Universities An applicant who has successfully completed one year or more of work at an accredited degree-granting institution or a transferable program at an accredited college may be admissible to the University of Lethbridge. One year is considered to be seven transferable courses. f. Mature Student - Open to Canadian and Landed Immigrant Students 1. Does not have the educational credentials required for admission through another admission route. 2. Is at least 21 years of age at the commencement of the session. 3. Provides evidence of ability to benefit from university-level studies. Specific admission requirements are determined during a personal interview arranged by the Admissions Office. g. Credentials from Other Countries In general, applicants from other countries require qualifications comparable to those of Canadian applicants. Details on requirements for specific countries are available from the Admissions Office. Proof of proficiency in the English language is required. h. College Entrance Examination Board Tests Applicants are admitted upon presentation of acceptable College Entrance Examination Board scores. Applicants should write the C.E.E.B.

Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., 08540. i. Admission as a High School Student (Advanced Placement) Alberta high school students may be admitted on a part-time basis if they are: 1. Currently enrolled in a southern Alberta high school program. 2.
