Recognized Institution

Refers to an academic institution that is granted by a provincial or territorial government the power to award academic credentials. It includes institutions such as universities, CEGEPs, institutes, community colleges, colleges of applied arts and technology, and so forth.

Recommended Background

A course that is not a preliminary requirement for another course but contains material that would provide a good background for that course. Students may take a course for which they do not have the recommended background but should be aware that they may have more difficulty with the course than a student who has the recommended background.

Residence Requirement

The number of courses that must be completed at the University of Lethbridge and, in some cases, when these courses must be taken in order for the credential to be conferred. For specific information on all program residence requirements, see Academic Regulations, Residence Requirements and Time Limits.

Returning Transfer
