Transferring from an Engineering Technologist Program

Students who complete Engineering Technologist Diploma programs can be considered for admission to the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta. As part of the application process, students will be asked to declare all previous post-secondary education and will be required to submit official transcripts from all institutions attended. It is not possible to 'give up' or waive previous post-secondary experience.

Students can be admitted directly to the related specialized engineering degree program. Direct admission is only to the traditional route and not to the co-op program. Please refer to the table below for the engineering diploma/discipline connections for Alberta institutions. Out-of-province institutions will be considered in a similar fashion.

All students admitted with an Engineering Technologist Diploma will still be required to complete all first-year coursework. 

Please Note: Engineering Technology transfer students should not expect transfer credit for courses taken during their diploma.

The minimum cumulative or overall average from the Engineering Technologist diploma required for admission is at least a 3.5 on the 4.0 scale.

All transfer students must also meet the math/science matriculation requirements for admission into the program, either through high school or equivalent post-secondary coursework. Students meeting matriculation requirements through high school coursework do not need to present a competitive average in these subjects, they simply need to be completed with a passing grade.
