AGPA

AGPA

• The Middle Years program is a highly competitive quota program
• The AGPA required is based on factors such as the number of applications, the quality of those applications, and AGPAs presented from applicants
• Following a communication change across UAlberta, we will not be releasing an AGPA that will guarantee applicants admission to the program

Your AGPA is calculated using your most recent *24 transferable, non-repeated credits without breaking up a term

TIPS & TRICKS

TIPS

• Refer to your Collaborative Middle Years Planning Guide & Transfer Alberta. Credit will be officially evaluated once we receive your complete application
• Apply as early as possible! For Fall 2020, you can apply as early as October 1, 2019
• Check your ualberta email and Bear Tracks account weekly & ensure your Bear Tracks To Do List items are complete
• If you have items on your To Do List that you must arrange to have sent to our Registrar's Office, make sure those are sent in ASAP (ex. IB/AP, out of province transcripts)

• Note: Your RDC transcript may continue to read "Outstanding" throughout the year - this is most likely because you are still in coursework and we will need to continue to request your transcripts as new grades come in!

After Degree Applicants

APPLICATION TIP: CHOOSING YOUR SECOND CHOICE

Every new applicant to the University of Alberta gets 2 choices on their application.

You can use this as your back-up, however, choosing Education as a second choice may not result in an admission offer. We may not evaluate your second choice until the end of the admission cycle, if there is room in your chosen program after evaluating all first priority applicants.

*If you are serious about pursuing multiple programs or routes, you may wish to submit 2 separate applications with Education as the first priority

*Accepting your offer to one program will not halt your second application. If you submit 2 separate applications, you will be evaluated for both and if you are admitted to both, you can make a choice.
