Becoming a Post Secondary Student

• Step 1: Apply For “Undergraduate” Admission

  Most applications are only online at a cost of $35 - $130 per application.

• Step 2: Apply For Entrance Awards/Residence

  Although most entrance scholarships are based on academic standing, there are many scholarships that are based on other criteria.

• Step 3: Arrange To Have Your Final Transcripts Sent To The Institute

  These course marks are accumulated from all the Alberta schools you have attended, including Chinook Learning Services.

• Step 4: Check Your E-Mail Account For Your Application Status

  Make sure you check your University account using your assigned ID# regularly to ensure you do not have any outstanding tasks to complete.

• Step 5: Apply For Government Student Loans

  Student Loan Applications for September classes are not available until May.

Additional Information

• Mature Student Status

  Applicants who are 21 years of age or older can gain acceptance into most post-secondary programs without presenting a high school diploma. However, you will still need to present the mandatory pre-requisites and grades for your faculty of choice.

• Transfer Students

  If you have previously enrolled in and/or received credit in a post secondary course at any accredited institute, you are considered a “transfer student”. Important...transfer students may have different dates for “final transcripts” to be submitted. For example, the U of C has a June 30th deadline for all final marks if you are a transfer student. Therefore, courses taken during the Winter semester (February - June) at Chinook Learning Services are not calculated in your final grade point average at the U of C.
