University of Alberta

Hi,
There are two main methods of entry into the faculty of engineering:
Direct entry (from high school or equivalent) to the preliminary year program, transfer student (from direct entry, U1, other faculties, other institutions) to preliminary year program one of 5 degree programs.
All admission requirements, deadlines and procedures can be found in the faculty of engineering admission bulletins. Refer to these documents for current information.
GPA requirement:
Admission into both our preliminary year program and our degree programs is competitive based on academic achievement and program capacity. Direct Entry admission requires a minimum of 85% averaged over Chemistry 40S, Mathematics (Pre-Calculus) 40S, and Physics 40S to be considered eligible to apply for admission.
Admission into a degree program is based on the adjusted GPA calculated on the best 8 of the 12 preliminary year courses completed. Each year the adjusted GPA requirement may change based on the number and caliber of applicants, the capacity of each program remains fixed. For more information about past and current GPA cut-offs, please visit the statistics section.
