I'm pleased to announce that our first round of admission offers are starting to be released! Although these are unprecedented times, there is some degree of normalcy this month with excitement in our office to admit and send out offers of admission to our Class of 2025.
For the November issue of the UCalgary Counsellor Connection, we want to focus on both celebrating your student's achievements and help prepare you with information for our newly admitted students, and provide some helpful advice for those who didn't receive an offer in our first round. Admission Update The first round of admission offers were released today, but admission offers will continue until all positions have been filled. Admitted students will be mailed their admission package to prepare for their next steps on become a Dino. Students who receive an offer are required to confirm their acceptance by May 1, 2021, with a $500 non-refundable deposit. For more information, click here. If your student is still waiting on their initial review, we encourage them to ensure that all required documents on their to-do list have been uploaded. Once these documents have been submitted, they will receive a decision within 4-6 weeks. If your student did not qualify for an initial offer of admission, please highlight for them that UCalgary issues a small number of offers during our first round and the majority of students will receive a decision in February after the first semester is finished. When first semester grades are received, they will automatically be re-reviewed for admission. Should your student wish to change their program choices before the March 1, 2021 deadline, please review the following resource. Student Financial Support Update November is a big month with the Prestige Scholarship deadline approaching on December 1, 2020. Students must apply for admission before they can be considered for our awards, but do not require an offer of admission. To support the application process, we are offering an Undergraduate Awards Webinar on November 26, 2020, from 6:30-7:30 PM (MST).
