When you complete the SLU part of your exchange application you will indicate at which campus you would like to be placed:

Alnarp is where most of SLU's landscape architecture and horticulture faculty is located
Skara is mostly for research and one bachelor program taught in Swedish. It's unlikely that UAlberta students would want to go there for course-based exchanges.
Umea is where SLU's forestry faculty is located.
Uppsala is home to SLU's faculties of natural resources, agriculture, and veterinary sciences.
