Application information

Entry requirements

The available annual spaces in the Post-LPN Bachelor of Nursing program may vary. Admissions are competitive, and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission due to the limited number of applicants accepted. Applicants must have completed a Practical Nurse Diploma. Certificates and/or vocational studies are not equivalent to an LPN diploma and are not accepted.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Undergraduate programmes have continuous enrolment: applications are accepted throughout the year and students can start registering for courses as soon as the online application is complete.

There are no application deadlines for most undergraduate programs. Applications go through the online Undergraduate General Application, with part of the process completed in ApplyAlberta; the one-time, non-refundable general application fee is $141 (2026-2027).
