Dates and Deadlines

Deadlines

Completed application packages must be received prior to the following application deadlines:

Fall Semester (Sept - Dec): APRIL 1*

Winter Semester (Jan - April): SEPTEMBER 1*

*Although applications received after the above deadlines can often be considered for admission, please understand that later application will likely mean more limited course options available and a more difficult time trying to secure on-campus housing. The Alberta School of Business at the University of Alberta cannot guarantee course selections or housing preference. To ensure students have a better chance of getting their choice of courses, EARLY APPLICATION IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. Processing of applications takes approximately 6-8 weeks.

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT make any travel arrangements until you have received an official letter of admission from the University of Alberta and a student visa to enter Canada.
