It is a provincial university with membership in the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.

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 8-lane, 50 metre pool tank, 3 and 5 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, classrooms, 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 Han 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.

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 JANUARY 1994 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23/ 30 25 26 27 28 29 FEBRUARY 1994 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 MARCH 1994 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 APRIL 1994 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 MAY 1994 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 JUNE 1994 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 ACADEMIC SCHEDULE 1994 JANUARY 3 Statutory Holiday - University offices closed. 5 Last day of registration for the 1994 Spring Semester.

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 prerequisite high school course. has not been completed (e.g., Statistics 1770 whiCh is required for the B.Mgt. degree has a prerequisite of Math 30 or 33). 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.F.A., B.Mus., B.Mgt., postdiploma B.N. and Combined Degrees programs occurs at the third-year level of studies, i.e., after successful completion of a minimum of 20 semester courses. Students preparing to seek admission to these degree programs must be sure, during their studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science, to select courses that fulfill the admission requirements. Admission to the Master of Education program requires a B.Ed. or equivalent. Admission to the Master of Arts (M.A.) or Ma6ter of Science (M.Sc.) program requires a 40-semester course Bachelor's degree. Admission to the Professional Accounting Diploma in the Faculty of Management requires a previout recognized degree with either a major in accounting or successful completion of certain designated courses. Admission to certificate programs in the Faculty of Management occurs at the first-year level of studies, .but is open to students already holding a university degree. - C. Pre-Professional Transfer Programs Many University courses, including introductory courses, have prerequisite high school courses. Applicants who intend to enrol in one of the professional transfer programs leading to degrees elsewhere should note that, while a student may be admissible to the Faculty of Arts and Science, a longer period may be required to meet the requirements for a professional program if these prerequisite high school courses or their equivalent have not yet been completed. 13 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. Applicants may be admitted directly to programs leading to Arts and Science degrees. Applicants to programs leading to the B.F.A. (Art), B.F.A. (Dramatic Arts), B.Mgt., B.Mus., B.N. or any Combined Degrees program, may be admitted directly to these programs, or may need to seek admission to programs in Arts and Science in order to complete admission requirements. Upon admission, students are assigned transfer credit for eligible postsecondary work. Transfer of credit serves to reduce the number of courses which must be completed at the University of Lethbridge in order to complete a program of studies. For further information, see Transfer and Evaluation Policies, Section 11b. e. Readmission to the University of Lethbridge 1. General This policy applies to Students Returning After an Absence - any persons who were admitted to University of Lethbridge programs, completed one or more semesters at the University and subsequently interrupted their continuing student status prior to the completion of the program, whether the interruption was voluntary or involuntary on the part of the student. This policy does not apply to any persons who left University of Lethbridge studies according to the terms of a leave authorized by the appropriate Dean. All students returning after an absence must apply for admission according to regular application procedures and deadlines. Admission to a particular program or major shall be subject to enrolment management and any other Faculty / School or Admission policies. Subject to the above, students voluntarily leaving the University shall be offered admission if all of the following conditions are met: a. No transferable courses were completed in the intervening period at another institution; b. The student is applying for admission to a non-quota program or major; and, c. Admission is sought for a regular semester no later than the fifth regular semester following the interruption. Unless all of the above conditions are met, the student shall be considered for admission according to current policies for new students. 2. Academic Probation If a student was on Academic Probation upon leaving the University and is subsequently readmitted, it will be on condition of Academic Probation. However, a student who left the University while on Academic Probation and who is later offered admission to a University program, may be offered clear admission given a satisfactory record of work completed at a recognized postsecondary institution during the interruption. For this purpose, a student would be expected to complete no less than five transferable semester courses, in a satisfactory manner. 3. Required to Withdraw Students who have been Required to Withdraw from this or any other postsecondary institution will not be admitted to the University of Lethbridge until at least one full year has elapsed. Students who have been Required to Withdraw from the University shall be considered for admission according to current policies for new student admissions, following the one-year mandatory absence. If a student was Required to Withdraw from a recognized postsecondary program and is subsequently admitted to the University of Lethbridge, it will be on condition of Academic Probation. However, a student who left the University due to a Required Withdrawal and who is later offered admission to a University program, may be offered clear admission given a satisfactory record of work completed at a recognized postsecondary institution during the interruption. For this purpose, a student would be expected to complete no less than ten transferable courses, in a satisfactory manner. Students who have been Required to Withdraw from this or any other postsecondary institution more than once are not usually eligible for admission and shall be considered for admission only on the recommendation of the appropriate Dean. f. Second Bachelor Degree Students Applicants with undergraduate degrees may be admissible to the University to pursue a second degree. Some courses taken for the previous degree may be used to satisfy specific requirements for the second degree, depending on the applicability of the courses to the curriculum and the standard of performance achieved. In order to register in courses as an admitted student, a student who has graduated from a Lethbridge program must successfully apply for admission to another program. Otherwise, such students must register using the Occasional Student route (see Part 2, Registration - Section 5). Students are not eligible to pursue a second degree which is similar to one already completed at a recognized institution. Generally, degrees with identical or closely related majors are considered to be similar. The decision of the Faculty or School will be final in these matters. g. Visiting Students Applicants currently enroled in a degree program at another accredited degree granting institution, and who wish to enrol in courses at the University, must complete an Application for Admission by the appropriate deadline and 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 (further information on registration procedures for Visiting Students may be found in Part 2 - Section 4, Order of Registration). h. Enrolment Limits and Admission Ouotas 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. Where demand for access exceeds program capacity, admission will be limited according to approved enrolment management policies. Applicants will be assigned admission priority chiefly on the basis of academic achievement and academic progress. New postsecondary applicants will be assigned priority on the basis of admission average, and new transfer applicants on the basis of both admission grade point average and the number of transferable courses. As all Faculties / Schools have quotas, completion of admission requirements for a program does not guarantee admission to the program nor to a specific major within the program. i. Calendar Year of an Admission See Transfer and Evaluation Policies, Section 11b 3. ADMISSION TO PROGRAMS OFFERED BY THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE Admission to programs offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science may be gained by meeting the requirements of one of the following routes: a. 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 or Cree (by special assessment) Latin 30 Chemistry 30 Mathematics 30 Chinese 35 Mathematics 31 One of: French 20N, 20S, 30, 30N, 30S, Physics 30 31 or Language and Literature 30 Science 30 German 30 or 31 Social Studies 30 Italian 35 Spanish 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. Special Projects courses will not be considered.

Other Canadian High School Credits The admission average for all Canadian high schools is calculated on the same basis that is used for Alberta applicants, i.e., English 30 or its equivalent course or courses and three academic Grade 12 courses comparable 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 used for admission purposes if the final grade is less than 50%. c. Early Admission The University's Early Admission program enables offers of admission to students prior to completion of regular high school requirements. Early admission may be granted to currently enroled students in Canadian high schools on the following basis: 1. Applicants will be selected from among those who submitted Early Admission applications together with 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 for predicted grades in the calculation. Early Admission shall be open to all new postsecondary applicants currently enroled in Canadian high schools. Early Admission is available to nonCanadians currently studying at Canadian high schools under student visas, provided that acceptable proof of English Language Proficiency where applicable (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 or November 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. Alberta Colleges or Institutes of Technology The University will consider applicants who have 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 or Recognized Colleges or Universities An applicant who has completed three or more transferable semester courses is considered to be a New Transfer applicant. To be considered admissible, a New Transfer applicant who has completed three or more but fewer than ten transferable semester courses must also present acceptable high school credentials. However, a New Transfer applicant who has successfully completed ten or more transferable, semester courses with an acceptable average need not present high school credentials in order to be considered admissible. To be considered for admission, New Transfer applicants must have an admission average of at least 2.00 on the 4 point scale, calculated on all transferable coJrses. Admission priority of New Transfer students: All transferable postsecondary work completed by New Transfer applicants will be used in determining admission priority. The admission average for New Transfer applicants presenting five or more transferable courses is calculated on all completed, transferable, postsecondary courses. Only for New Transfer applicants presenting three to five courses, the admission average is a weighted average of the high school admission average and the postsecondary admission average. Based on the admission average of the New Transfer applicant, and the number of transferable semester courses completed, Admission Priority is assigned, considering both the number of transferable courses and the grade point average on transferable courses. The University, prior to the application deadline, may offer admission to highly qualified transfer students. Applicants are encouraged to apply well ahead of the deadline. For detailed information, students should contact the Admissions Office. f. Non-Matriculated Adult Admission The Non-Matriculated Adult admission route is available to Canadian and Landed Immigrant unmatriculated applicants whose credentials do not satisfy the basic admission criteria of any other admission route. The intent of the Non-Mathculated Adult admission route is to provide a limited number of positions for 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, CAT Level 19 or CAAT Level D. The Non-Matriculated Adult applicant is required to provide, in addition to the regular application for undergraduate admission, the following: 1. A letter from the applicant to the Admissions Office, addressing the applicant's potential for success at University studies, the relevance of the applicant's experiences since secondary sch
