In response to Calls to Action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the University's
Indigenous Strategy (ii' taa'poh'to'p), the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape
provides an opportunity for those who identify as Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit) to
be admitted under the Indigenous Admission Process and/or the Indigenous Admission Supplementary Process. Prospective Indigenous students who have not completed all high school
courses normally required for admission (see Admission Requirements) will be considered for
admission to the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Indigenous Pathway Program
when they apply. Those admitted to the Indigenous Pathway Program will be guaranteed
admission to the Bachelor of Design in City Innovation in the School of Architecture, Planning
and Landscape upon completion of foundation courses as outlined in the table below.
Students in the Pathway Program will meet with the School of Architecture, Planning and
Landscape and the Writing Symbols Lodge for Pathway advising.
Pathway Requirements
The Pathway Program is individualized to each student and will be finalized after admission in consultation with the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape and the Writing Symbols Lodge. Students will normally complete all required foundation courses in their first term. Students may take a specified number of other 200-level courses alongside foundation courses as approved by the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Indigenous Admissions Committee to meet requirements for full-time status (see Full-time and Part-time Status). After completion of required foundation courses with a grade of "C-" or higher, students will be admitted to their degree program in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape.
