Admission

Students are normally admitted to the Alberta Social Work Diploma route in Calgary and Edmonton. Admission to the Alberta Social Work Diploma route in Lethbridge may be available subject to faculty permission.

Students who will have completed a Social Work Diploma at an Alberta Community College or University that has a transfer agreement with the Faculty of Social Work may apply for admission to the BSW Alberta Social Work Diploma route. Such applicants must also meet basic University admission requirements. Applicants not meeting University basic admission requirements cannot be admitted to the Faculty.

Applicants to the Alberta Social Work Diploma route will receive credit for 20 half-course equivalents from their Diploma program. In order to be considered for admission, students must have completed a minimum of 8 half-course equivalent university transfer non-Social Work courses (normally as part of the Social Work program).

Note: Students who have graduated with a Social Work Diploma from a College that does not have an agreement with the Faculty of Social Work, will normally receive credit for 10 unspecified half-course equivalents which will include Social Work 201, from their Diploma program.

Applicants are evaluated on the following criteria:

1. Grade Point Average. The cumulative grade point average achieved on the Social Work Diploma will be used;

2. One letter of reference, normally from your faculty liaison, that is, from the instructor who submitted your grade for the final practicum placement;

3. Admission essay;

4. A recommendation from the chair/director of the social work program that the student attended;

5. Relevant volunteer/work experience.

Note: Students who graduated with an Alberta Social Work Diploma more than five years prior to applying to the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, will need to provide two letters of reference and are not required to supply the recommendation from the chair/director of the Social Work program that the student attended, and the field instructor of record.
