UofC

Successful applicants are required to have or receive immunization for tetanus and rabies following admission.

The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine will directly register successful applicants and ongoing students into all required yearly courses. Payment of fees is the student's responsibility. For more information on paying fees, refer to ucalgary.ca/registrar/finances/tuition-fees/pay-your-fees.

Students wishing to apply for deferral should make this request in a letter to the Dean, care of the UCVM Admissions Office within 15 days of the date at the top of their acceptance letter. Requests for deferred admission will only be considered from applicants who have accepted the offer of admission and paid the $500.00 acceptance fee. The applicant must clearly explain the reason for the deferral request. Deferrals will be considered for academic and/or non-academic reasons, including completion of degrees. Deferral requests for attending other veterinary schools will not be accepted. It is at the sole discretion of the Dean to grant or deny a deferral. Deferrals will normally be for one year only.

Students who voluntarily withdraw from the DVM program and who wish to return must re-apply to the program through the Admissions Office if they withdrew from first year, or for advanced standing through the Associate Dean (Academic) if they withdrew from second-fourth year. Students contemplating a withdrawal from the program are cautioned that there is an enrolment limitation for the program and that re-entry will be conditional on the availability of space and on academic performance.
