REVIEW REQUIREMENTS AND CONTACT THE graduate-studies/prospective-students/apply-for-

B DEPARTMENT admission

Visit the department website to review your program’s

specific requirements and contact the department if
you have questions.
This step is critical because:
• admission requirements vary by program
• application deadlines and entry dates vary by program;
some departments accept applications year-round while
others only allow entry once a year
• application procedures vary; some programs require you
to identify a potential supervisor before applying and
some departments may require different documentation
at different stages of the application process
WHY APPLY EARLY?
Deadlines can vary depending on your program of interest;
some deadlines are as early as 12 months before the program
begins.
Early applicants are considered for funding; many departments
formulate their funding packages between December and
March for students starting in September.
International students should apply as early as possible because
they will need to apply for a study permit. Study permit
processing times vary by country, sometimes taking up to six
months.
SPONSORED STUDENT PROGRAM
ABOUT THE SPONSORED STUDENT PROGRAM
The University of Alberta’s Sponsored Student Program (SSP)
is a unit within the University of Alberta International office
that offers a specialized, professional service to sponsoring
organizations and their students in order to provide an optimal
learning experience at our University.
The SSP links sponsoring organizations and their students with
a U of A representative, who will serve as the central contact
to provide guidance and support during the application and
admissions process, when the students arrive, as they progress
through their programs, and right through to graduation.
This unique program offers easy and reliable services and ongo-
ing communications to sponsors and their students, providing
them with any academic, social, and practical assistance they
might require. The Sponsored Student Program will begin
helping students through the application process as early as one
year before they wish to attend. Currently, the U of A works
with more than 80 different sponsoring organizations in more
than 45 different countries around the world.
INTERNATIONAL TUITION
At the University of Alberta international students will pay program-based tuition. You will know the total tuition cost for
your graduate program when you receive your offer. Fees and living costs are assessed seperately to tuition.
PROGRAM-BASED TUITION
UAlberta adopted a program based tuition model for all
international students starting their program from Fall 2020
onwards. The new program-based tuition model will allow
international students to know the total tuition cost of their pro-
gram at the time of their admission to the University of Alberta.
For more information, please visit:
https://www.ualberta.ca/registrar/costs-tuition-fees/
undergraduate-tuition/tuition-model for information about
the tuition model.
Or visit https://www.ualberta.ca/graduate-studies/cur-
rent-students/tuition-and-fees for information about how
graduate student tuition and fees are assessed.
WHO ARE SPONSORED STUDENTS?
Sponsored students are international students whose studies
are fully or partially funded by their governments, companies,
or third party entities. Support can include funding for tuition,
fees, and living expenses.
Please note: The SSP does not provide funding to students; our
office provides advising support to students who have either
already obtained or will be seeking third-party sponsorship
funding to attend the University of Alberta
