If you have educational goals you’d like to pursue, but think you’re background may keep you from reaching your objectives, you should consider exploring the Alternate Admission route to college.

Perhaps you lack some of the academic requirements listed in this calendar for admission to a specific program. Maybe you’ve been working for a few years and would like to return to college and follow a different life path.

Alternate Admission can open doors you may have thought were closed to you. Admission decisions maybe based on academic history, a letter of intent, or admission testing. To discover what your future could hold, check out the program information in this calendar. Each features unique admission requirements. Program Leaders and contact information is provided for each program.

If you want to explore Alternate Admission possibilities for a specific program, please contact the Program Leader listed, or get in touch with Lethbridge College’s Admissions by calling 1-800-572-0103 or locally at 320-3200. Ask for extension 3323.

Registration is the process where you select or are enrolled in the course or courses required to complete your program of study at Lethbridge College. Acceptance of the Offer of Admissions authorizes Lethbridge College to make course selections on your behalf. Admission is considered confirmed when Lethbridge College receives your signed acceptance of the Offer of Admissions along with the required tuition fee deposit of $300 or a written confirmation of sponsorship from a sponsoring agency. All fees associated with this acceptance and resulting course or program registrations become the responsibility of the student and/or sponsoring agent as of the acceptance date.

The majority of students will be automatically registered based on the program information in this calendar.

You will be registered for a full year (all terms in the academic year). Your acceptance of our offer assumes that you are bound by the rules and regulations of the College and that you agree to be responsible for the fees associated with registration.

If you are required to make course selections in person, in particular General Studies students, you are advised to use the online timetable to choose your courses. You can work with an advisor to build a timetable that suits your needs. College & University Preparatory (Upgrading) students also meet with an advisor to finalize their course registration.

Although a few programs have terms that vary in length, the majority of Lethbridge College programs are delivered in 15-week terms and, once we receive confirmation, the registration process begins automatically.

You are encouraged to register as early as possible and must ensure you are registered for each term prior to the start date. Refer to the Academic Schedule.

Lethbridge College honors Alberta Learning curriculum changes in the secondary school system for Admissions. These changes are not always captured within the Academic Calendar due to printing schedules. If you have any questions regarding Admissions requirements and corresponding courses, contact our Admissions Office.

Lethbridge College courses are designed to be relevant to business and industry - ensuring workforce readiness for our learners. The majority of today’s careers require the use of computers and technology. As a result, computer literacy has become an essential skill and most courses require that learners have ready access to a computer.

The college provides access for scheduled instruction and also has two ‘Commons’ areas where computers are always available. However, it is also an asset if students make the investment for themselves. If you are planning on purchasing a computer or software specifically for your college needs, you may want to consult with your program faculty and Information Technology Services.

Lethbridge College offers a full array of computer training courses, either through regular programming or through our Business & Industry Development Group or our Mind-Body-Home (Non-Credit) catalogue.

If you’re uncertain about your computer skills, we can help you get up-to-speed. Just contact our Advisors today to determine where we can support you.

The Lethbridge College Academic Calendar is published annually for the information of prospective students, educators and the general public. Every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy and completeness. Lethbridge College reserves the right to make changes to any information contained in the Calendar. All information is current at the date of printing. Changes are continually updated on the Lethbridge College website. Please check http://www.lethbridgecollege.ab.ca for ongoing changes.

All fees and program costs are approximate and subject to change without notice. To ensure an accurate quote, contact Student Services or the Program Chair listed in the program profile.

If cancellation of a program or course is necessary, the decision will be made at least 12 business days prior to the start of the term, as indicated in the Academic Schedule. In particular, some elective courses within program curriculum may not run if enrolments are insufficient. The College will attempt to contact all applicants affected by the cancellation within one day of the decision.

The submission of an Application for Admission implies the student agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations in existence or as made, modified or amended from time to time by the Board of Governors of Lethbridge College, or by persons who, by virtue of delegation or authority may make, modify or amend rules and regulations.

Applicants and students are responsible for the continuing completeness and accuracy of their individual academic records and for ensuring they satisfy the graduation requirements of the program in which they are enrolled.
