As mentioned in our email earlier this week, the University of Calgary had hoped to have electronic requests and receipts of BC transcripts fully implemented in our system at this time.
We sent our last communication and request for students to send a printed transcript as we were told there was no cost associated with this for students. As a result of your feedback, we have reverted back to our previous process and students are able to upload their transcripts to their UCalgary student centre. We will be reaching out to applicants shortly to let them know. We do hope that we will be able to have a new process in place going forward and will share as soon as timelines have been finalized. If you have questions, please let me know. Thank you for your support and patience as we work through this transition.

To support you and your students, we recommend checking out our November edition of the We have answers to your most common questions blog. Only about 30% of offers are given after the first review, so it is important to emphasize that the majority of offers will be made beginning mid-February when first term grade 12 grades are received. The Prestige Award deadline is December 1, 2022. Students must first apply for admission before they can complete their Prestige and High School Entrance Award applications. For more information, click here. For support with the application, the Awards Office has an upcoming event: UCalgary's Tips for Applying for Awards Lecture (In-Person) on November 23, 2022 For those who missed our virtual event earlier this month, you can find the recording here. Do you have Indigenous students interested in pursuing a business degree? The Haskayne School of Business recognizes the importance of business acumen to a career, no matter what the role or industry. The Haskayne School actively works with community partners to build educational capacity, particularly in Indigenous communities, to help ensure students have the opportunity to attend university. The ASC Capital Markets Award for Indigenous Students was established in 2022 by the Alberta Securities Commission to support Indigenous students pursuing their Bachelor of Commerce degree at the Haskayne School, as part of the ASC’s commitment to advancing Indigenous Peoples’ participation in the capital markets. This newly established award, $7,500 per year, is offered annually to a full-time Indigenous student entering the Haskayne School. The award is renewable in second, third, and fourth year, provided the recipient continues their studies at the Haskayne School. Click Here for more information. Important dates and deadlines

New Scholarships We're excited to announce new scholarships for students in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities. These include additions to the National Scholarship Program - the Neen Hodgins National Entrance Scholarship and the Neen Hodgins President's International Entrance Scholarship - both offering up to $80,000! Western has also introduced new scholarships of up to $26,000 for Black and Indigenous students. Students will be automatically considered, although they do need to self-identify as Black or Indigenous.Indigenous Learning Space Western's new Indigenous Learning Space opens on November 7! The space will facilitate and coordinate services and programming for the Indigenous community at Western, as well as the wider community at Western and the Deshkan Zibi territory. Application FAQs Does Western look at Grade 11 marks? We will consider a combination of Grade 11 and 12 courses. Check our website to learn more about how we review applications in Ontario and the rest of Canada. Does Western accept repeated courses? Yes, we will take the higher of two attempts. If you have taken a course more than twice, we may review an average of your attempts. What information do I need to submit? Once you submit your application on OUAC, we'll need your grades. Then, depending on your program and circumstances, you may also need to submit supplementary forms. We don't ask for any information about your extracurricular, unless they are relevant in a supplementary form for your program. You may also choose to tell us about your extracurricular in the Extraordinary Extracurricular Activities and Contributions to Citizenship Profile, if this has impacted your grades and you may fall marginally below requirements. What if I don't have prerequisites/required courses for my program until last semester? You're not alone! We will check to see that you are enrolled in required courses as part of our review and you may receive an offer without a midyear or final grade if you are a competitive applicant. Be sure your OUAC high school grade data or Self-Reported Grades Form is accurate and complete. Will Western accept additional courses at a private school/online school? Yes! It's important to make sure the school you choose is approved and accredited by the Ministry of Education. We may monitor your results for consistency with your home high school results and ask you to provide more information if we have questions. We want you to be well prepared for success at Western and beyond! In Ontario, you need to make sure your home school knows about these courses and reports them to OUAC. In the rest of Canada, you report these courses on your Self-Reported Grades Form.When will I hear back after applying? For Ontario high school students, we will make offer rounds from December to May, usually after high school grades are made available to the OUAC. If you haven't received an offer, we'll continue to review your application in each round until May. After this, we'll provide you with a decision. It's important to remember that you're still being considered in each round, even if you haven't had an offer. So, don't worry if you don't hear right away and be sure to check we have all your updated marks. For the rest of Canada, you can expect to wait an average of 4-6 weeks before you hear back from us. We make decisions on a rolling basis. This means decisions are released each week as we work down the queue of complete applications. Where can I find help applying? You can find step-by-step explanations in our online application guide. Want to talk it through with someone or ask questions? Book a Zoom appointment with a friendly advisor. Any more questions? Reply to this email or direct your students to [email protected]. Speak soon! Chris and Lauren |
