General Policies For All Applicants

a.Student Status

An individual who has submitted an Application for Admission to a graduate program at the University of Lethbridge in a full-time, part-time, visiting, or any other capacity, is not considered a ‘student’ of the University of Lethbridge until the date that the individual commences academic studies at the institution. Therefore, this individual does not share the same rights and privileges as a ‘student’. This also applies to Open Studies applicants.

b.Access to Courses

The University of Lethbridge guarantees that students will have timely access to courses required to complete their programs. However, the University does not guarantee that a student will be able to register for any particular course in a given term.

c.Enrolment Limits

The University of Lethbridge does not guarantee that students who meet the published minimum program requirements will be admitted to their desired program. In cases where the number of qualified applicants exceeds the spaces available, the University reserves the right to limit enrolment in a Faculty/School, or program and establish additional requirements beyond the published minimum requirements without advance notice.

d.Year of the Calendar

The specific Academic Calendar and Course Catalogue in effect at the time a student begins their academic program governs the student’s program requirements for the duration of their program.

e.Simultaneous Enrolment

No student may enroll in a University of Lethbridge graduate program while simultaneously enrolled in a program at another institution. This does not apply to students studying at a partner institution under a University of Lethbridge Dual Admission (see Dual Admission) or Dual Degree agreement.
