Admission Requirements

ADMISSIONS
New students are accepted into the Geomatics program in the Fall (September) term only. Qualified applicants may be admitted into programs outside of normal intakes. Interested applicants are considered on an individual basis by the Chair for acceptance into a program in an alternative or modified format.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
Applicants are required to have a minimum 50 percent in Math 30P (Pure) or a minimum of 65 percent in Math 30A (Applied), 50 percent in Physics 20 or 50 percent in Science 30, 60 percent in English Language Arts 30-2 or English Language Arts 30-1. Basic understanding of computer technology such as word processing, copying files and familiarity working in a Windows-based environment is required.

Please note that Biology 30 and/or Chemistry 30 will not be accepted in lieu of Science 30.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Applicants completing the new Alberta high school math curriculum will require a minimum grade of 50 percent in Math 30-1 or 60 percent in Math 30-2.

All students applying to the program may be required to write a math and science competency exam at the start of the program. Students whose scores demonstrate deficiencies will be advised to consider spreading their work load over a three-year program to allow for remedial courses.

ALTERNATE ADMISSION
Applicants are required to achieve a minimum 60th percentile on the Arithmetic, Elementary Algebra, Sentence Skills, and Reading Comprehension sections of placement testing or equivalent. It is strongly recommended that the 75th percentile is achieved.
