Counsellors + Teachers
You’re a Change Maker
As a high school counsellor or teacher, we deeply value the crucial role that you play in shaping the post-secondary pathway for your students.
Your dedication and commitment to supporting students as they navigate this pivotal stage in their lives is invaluable. You’re a change maker and we want to be there for you, every step of the way.
Our recruitment team is here to collaborate and ensure you have access to the necessary resources that will enable your students to thrive, academically and beyond.
Stay Informed
Admissions 101
Applying to the U of A should be as easy as ready, set, apply! Download our one-page overview of deadlines, important dates and how to apply.
We also have a variety of web resources to continue supporting your students throughout their green and gold journey.
On-Demand Content
We know your students' schedules are busy, and that can sometimes make it challenging to attend events. That is why we are proud to offer on-demand videos to help them learn about our admissions process, academics and student life at their convenience.
Historical Averages
We encourage students to apply early, as admission is competitive and works on a rolling basis, and space in each program is limited. To better serve prospective students, please view historical admission averages.
Please note: These historical admission averages do not serve as a guarantee for future admission.
