U of Eh?

Reg:  The admission requirements for the Bachelor of Arts program are indeed English Language Arts 30-1 and for other academic grade 12 level courses, or equivalent.  If you are taking AP courses, you will need to consult our AP equivalencies to see what courses are considered equivalent to Alberta grade 12 courses.  In the case of AP Psychology and AP World History, both will can be used for admission into the Faculty of Arts as they are considered to be Humanities course equivalents.  

Please note that for some majors and intended UAlberta career paths, you may need to ensure you have completed specific courses in order to be eligible for admission.  This information can be found in the notes section of the admission requirements.

For all your other questions on AP and UAlberta, please check out our AP website or contact our AP Advisor.

Reg:  Transferring from MacEwan University to the University of Alberta for the Bachelor of Commerce program is possible.  You can find the courses and other requirements in the post below.  The important thing to consider is the GPA component of transferring.  While the minimum required GPA is 2.3, the minimum transfer admission average was 3.3 last year.  That means you will need to work hard during you time at MacEwan in order to be eligible for admission to the program.  For more information about the BCom program, please contact our Bachelor of Commerce Advisor.
