Apply to Study at the Schulich School of Engineering

BECOME A SCHULICH ENGINEER
Students apply to the Schulich School of Engineering for admission into first-year common core. After completing first year, they choose a program of study i.e. chemical engineering. There are just over 750 spaces available in first-year engineering to entering (frosh) high school and transfer students. The school receives more than 2,000 applications for admission each year, so acceptance is competitive.

Applications for admission are submitted electronically through ApplyAlberta.

Admission Requirements - Entering (Frosh) High School Students
Though the admission average varies, in recent years students required an average of approximately 80 percent or higher in order to be admitted. All applicants must present the following five high school subjects (or their equivalents) to be admissible:

ELA 30-1 Chemistry 30 Physics 30 Pure Math 30 Math 31 (Calculus)

Admission Equivalents for Canadian High School Students Admission Equivalents for International Students

Students who have never taken Mathematics 31 can present another academic matriculation subject from Group A or Group B instead of Mathematics 31. These students, after being admitted into the Schulich School of Engineering, will be required to take an alternate calculus course instead of the first calculus course that engineering students normally take. For students in this circumstance, the Engineering Undergraduate Studies Office will create your schedule accordingly.

Group A: Social Studies 30, 30-level language other than English
Group B: Biology 30 and Science 30 or equivalent

HIGH SCHOOL SUBJECTS	*MINIMUM ADMISSION MATRICULATION AVERAGE
ELA 30-1, Pure Mathematics 30, Mathematics 31 (Calculus), Physics 30 and Chemistry 30, or equivalent.	*77%
ELA 30-1, Pure Mathematics 30, Physics 30, Chemistry 30, and another academic matriculation subject from Group A or Group B, or equivalent. Note: not applicable to students who have taken Math 31.	*83%

Frosh applicants to the Schulich School of Engineering will have their admission matriculation average calculated on the five required matriculation (Grade 12) subjects as above. Applicants whose admission matriculation averages are below the minimum as stated above will not be considered. *Minimum requirement does not reflect the final cut-off average which is determined in August. In previous years the final cut-offs have been significantly higher than the minimum requirements.

English Language Proficiency

In addition to matriculation standing in Alberta ELA 30-1 or its equivalent, all applicants must demonstrate English Language Proficiency for the purpose of admission.

Admission is on a competitive basis. Using the criteria established in the above chart, applicants will be ranked in accordance with their matriculation average and admitted in descending ranked order until all available positions are filled. Offers of admission must be accepted within a specified time of receipt or admission will be rescinded and the space will be offered to the next person in line.

Admission Requirements - Transfer Students
Applicants who have attended a post-secondary institution, including the University of Calgary, before applying to the Schulich School of Engineering, are considered for admission as transfer students.

Transfer applicants are considered for admission either to the first-year common program or directly to a degree program in second year if they are awarded at least eight transfer credits for University of Calgary engineering first-year technical courses. Appicants with eight transfer credits would be considered for direct entry into low demand second year programs. In order to be considered for direct entry into a second year high demand programs such as, Chemical, Mechanical, Civil, and Oil & Gas Engineering, applicants should fully complete the 10 first-year common courses by the end of the Winter term of their application year (i.e. applying for Fall 2012, must be complete by Winter 2012).

Transfer students who are considered for direct admission to a degree program will be admitted to a specialization based on their grade point average (GPA) on the most recent eight to 10 university transferable technical or scientific courses. If a transferable course is repeated, only the first passing grade (C- or better) will be counted in this GPA. The GPA required for admission may be different for each degree program.

TRANSFER CONDITION	*MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
10 or more single semester university level courses	Admission GPA = *2.50 or more, calculated on most recent courses up to 10; Matriculation Average will not be considered.
6-9 single semester university level courses	Admission GPA = *2.50 or more calculated on number of courses presented up to 9; Matriculation Average will not be considered.
3-5 single semester university level courses	Admission GPA = *2.50 or more AND Matriculation Average = *77% or more
0-2 single semester university level courses	Matriculation Average = *77% or more; Admission GPA will not be considered
Two-year Engineering Diploma or Applied Technology Degree	Cumulative GPA = *3.00 or more on the Diploma or Applied Technology Degree

*Minimum requirements do not reflect the final cut-offs which are determined in August. In previous years the final cut-offs have been significantly higher than the minimum requirements.

All transfer applicants, regardless of the number of post-secondary courses they have taken before applying, must present matriculation (Grade 12) standing in the five specified high-school subjects, including ELA 30-1, Pure Mathematics 30, Mathematics 31 (Calculus), Physics 30 and Chemistry 30, or equivalents. Admission matriculation average, when applicable, is calculated on these five required matriculation (Grade 12) subjects.

For transfer applicants who are deficient in one or more of the required high school subjects but have completed similar courses in post-secondary school, the Schulich School and/or the Admissions Office will assess whether the material of the deficient Grade 12 course has been covered by any completed post-secondary courses.
