Introduction

Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies sponsors a post-degree program leading to a Diploma of the Cumming School of Medicine with a specialization in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies for those who are working in the field of community rehabilitation and disability studies or wishing to transfer their current professional training to community practice. The diploma program provides the foundation interdisciplinary skills identified by the field as necessary for practice. The diploma will also assist students in meeting the entrance requirements of the Pan Canadian Master's Degree program in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies.

Admission

An approved degree with a grade point average of at least 2.50 over the most recent course work to a maximum of 30 units (5.0 full-course equivalents) (University of Calgary courses and/or transferable courses taken at other institutions). All grades within a term will be included except where the number of courses taken within a term exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) 30 units (5.0 full-course equivalents), in which case the highest grades will be used.

Experience and/or undergraduate work in helping professions.

An interview with the Director, Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies or her/his representative to discuss program requirements and to complete program forms. Students must provide copies of their transcripts before or during this interview.

An approved program. Applicants will not be registered until such time as the diploma program has been approved and formal admission to the program has been granted.

Requirements

Specific courses will vary depending on the program (see below).

1. Students must complete a minimum of 24 units (4.0 full-course equivalents) satisfying departmental requirements. Programs are developed on an individual basis.

2. A grade point average of 3.00 or better is required on the 24 or 30 units (4.0 or 5.0 full-course equivalents) on the diploma program. (All courses taken subsequent to admission will be included in the calculation.) A grade below "C" will not be accepted for credit on a diploma program. The program must be completed within four calendar years. Relevant courses taken prior to admission (e.g., as an Open Studies student) may be allowed for credit toward the diploma; however, the date of the first course credited toward the diploma will indicate the commencement of the four-year time limit.

Notes:

1. Students from developing countries or partnered universities may be admitted under contracted agreements.

2. Applicants new to the University of Calgary must complete an Application for Admission form and supply official transcripts; former University of Calgary students who have attended during the past year must complete a Change of Program form.

3. Courses credited in a completed diploma may not be used for credit towards the BCR degree or any other graduate degree.

4. Those intending to apply for admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies are advised that a full-time diploma year will not count as the equivalent of a residence year in the MEd or MSc degree programs.
