Programs and Requirements

High School

Set your future in motion at the University of Alberta. Start by identifying what type of student you are:


Alberta high school students

In general, admission to undergraduate programs is based on a minimum average of 70% on five appropriate Grade 12 high school subjects at the 30-level (or their equivalent) including English Language Arts 30-1, with no mark of the five below 50%. Some faculties may require a higher competitive average on these subjects. Due to space limits in our undergraduate programs, preference is given to applicants with the best qualifications.

Canadian high school students from outside Alberta

Students who have attended school outside Alberta should ensure that their secondary education background meets the equivalent subject requirements. 

International high school students studying high school in Canada

International students completing high school in Canada on study permit (also known as Maple Leaf students) are expected to meet the entrance requirements specified for their province.
