Program Change Process • Applicants are able to change the program choices on their application,

• If a student submits their program change request after the application deadline has passed (March 1st), they can only switch the priority of their two program choices; they cannot add a new program choice.
• Please note that only one program change request per application is accepted.

Updating New Grades • Students that have applied to the University of Alberta but have not yet
received an admission offer will be able to update your new grades in early February! Students will receive an email once this online system is live, which will also outline the process of updating these grades.
• Applicants that have not yet received an offer will be able to self-record new final Grade 12 marks as they become available in February. Update these grades online as soon as they become available in February so that the U of A can process your application and provide eligible students with an admission offer!
• Interim transcripts will not need to be sent to the University of Alberta, as the self-recorded grades will be used to assess students for admission. As part of the conditions to retain an admission offer, the U of A will request final official transcripts on your behalf so that your marks can be verified.
