What are your admission requirements?

---

Athabasca University's general admissions policy has only one formal entrance requirement for all undergraduate students:  They must be 16 years of age or older.

Applicants under 16 years of age may be admitted and enrolled in a program of study by petitioning the Office of the Registrar for special consideration through the University’s Coordinator, Enrollment Services and Academic Records (annh@athabascau.ca). The application for admission must be accompanied by a letter of support from the student's high-school principal or designate, and from the parent or guardian. If the applicant is home schooled or in instances where the parent is also the principal, evidence of academic ability must be provided (e.g., provincial achievement scores). In addition, permission to register in a course must be obtained from the course professor or academic coordinator.

Some undergraduate and graduate programs may have additional enrollment requirements or restrictions. Before applying to a specific program, visit our Programs pages to learn about the requirements for the program of study you would like to enter.
