Eligibility

 

All degree-seeking students registered in the Bachelor of Commerce or MBA program, including international students, can potentially participate on an exchange program through the Alberta School of Business.

  • BCom applicants are required to complete at least their first year of studies in the Alberta School of Business before they are eligible to apply for an exchange. At least two semesters of full-time graded coursework will need to be available in order for an applicant to be properly assessed and receive permission. Therefore, applications may only be submitted after completion of the first year, and this means students will not be allowed to depart on exchange until the second semester (Winter term) of their second year at the earliest due to the timing of exchange procedures and deadlines. Participation on a Spring/Summer, Fall or Full-year exchange immediately following a student's first year of their program will not be possible.

  • Candidates should have a minimum GPA of 3.0 over the previous two semesters at the time of application. Focus will be put on performance after entering the Alberta School of Business and only Fall and Winter term marks will be considered when evaluating candidates. Final approval of academic eligibility will be at the discretion of the BCom or MBA Office.

  • BCom applicants must be registered as continuing full-time students. MBA candidates completing their degree on a part-time basis are also eligible to participate on an exchange. Both undergraduate and graduate applicants must have at least *3 credits remaining before finishing a degree.

  • BCom students in the Co-op program are eligible to also participate on an exchange, but must work out timing and coordination with both offices to ensure all requirements and obligations can be met for both programs.
