On-Campus Employment

2016-17 Competitive Program Admission Averages  • Beginning with the Fall 2016 intake MacEwan University has moved

to a competitive admission model for all of its competitive programs. • As a result of the competitive admission process, the minimum

grade cut-offs listed in the admission requirements for many competitive programs are rarely sufficient for a successful application.

• If a student is interested in a competitive program, they will often require higher grades than the minimums listed in the admission requirements to be considered

• Programs that are not considered competitive will continue to use the first-qualified, first-admitted admission model.

Matriculation ProjectAs of January 25, 2016 their system has been updated such that students must accept or decline offers of admission to the university. A new Accept/Decline option is available in the Student Services Centre online to capture a student's desire to act on an offer of admission (this option is not yet available on the MacEwan -- myStudentSystem app).

Matriculation Project cont.This new process is in place for the Fall 2016 intake. If you applied, were accepted and paid your admission confirmation fee (deposit) before January 25, 2016 you do not have to accept or decline the offer, but any student applying after January 25 or who had applied before January 25 but was not accepted until after January 25 will be required to accept or decline the offer. If a student is accepted to their first-choice program on their application but wishes to pursue admission to their second-choice program, they must decline their first-choice program and indicate they want to retain their second-choice program.
