Transfer courses that are extra to the degree will not be included in the required minimum five full course equivalents or four full course equivalents for U of C exchange students. Students must be pursuing a first degree.

·Upon completion of consecutive Fall and Winter Sessions at the University of Calgary, transfer students are then eligible to apply for Competitive Undergraduate Awards.

·Students entering or continuing in the Bachelor of Education (Master of Teaching Program) are not eligible for Transfer Awards, however, they are eligible to apply for Competitive Undergraduate Awards; Deadline is August 1.

$ Supplemental, deferred and special deferred examinations or term work may affect eligibility for awards.

$In support of the Academic Plan, awards are distributed among the most deserving students and in keeping with the terms of reference for awards.
