1. High school matriculation or equivalent which must include English Language Arts 30-1. Refer to the Undergraduate Admissions section of this Calendar for regulations regarding University admission requirements.

3. Students transferring from other faculties and institutions must meet the competitive admission requirements in place for the program for which they are applying. For more information refer to "A.2 Admission Requirements" in the Academic Regulation section of this Calendar.

4. Students may be admitted or readmitted to the Faculty on probation if (a) they are on probation in another faculty at the time of admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences, or (b) they previously have been required to withdraw from the University of Calgary or any other post-secondary institution (see Readmission). Students admitted on probation must clear probation at their first academic review (see 3.5 Student Standing - Performance Review).

Specific programs offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences may require, for purposes of admission, the completion of particular courses and other admission criteria than that specified in the Undergraduate Admissions section of this Calendar (see specific program descriptions in the following sections).

Students considering a Major or Honours program in the Faculty of Social Sciences must contact the Department concerned as early as possible for proper advice regarding their programs.

• Students who have been required to withdraw for unsatisfactory academic performance may be considered for readmission after 12 or more months have elapsed since the date of dismissal.
• Applicants must apply by the deadlines stated in the current Calendar and meet the current admission requirements of the program to which they are seeking admission.
• Readmission is not guaranteed.

Students so readmitted must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.00 on all courses taken after readmission. Failure to do so will result in permanent dismissal from the Faculty of Social Sciences. Students who have twice been required to withdraw from one or more Faculties at this or any other institution will not normally be considered for admission at any time.

All students must complete the Effective Writing Requirement by May 1 of their first year of registration at the University of Calgary. Those who do not do so will have their registration for the following Fall Term courses and all subsequent courses withheld until they meet the requirement. Students are encouraged to meet this requirement in their first term. Please see the Academic Regulations section of the Calendar under C. Competence Tests for details.
