FAQ for Students
Student FAQ
As a student, you have a responsibility to conduct yourself with academic integrity. This means being honest in your work and responsibility for acknowledging the work of others. ULethbridge values the academic integrity of our staff and students and take academic offenses seriously.
You can brush up on the Student Code of Conduct policy for more information about the University's expectations on students' academic and non-academic conduct, including identifying unacceptable behaviours that are considered Academic or Non-Academic offences. The Code also provides resources and support for both students and faculty.

You should meet with your coaching staff to make sure you are planning your course schedule around your training schedule. You should also work with your teammates (especially those in their 3rd or 4th year) to see what they suggest. It can be tough to balance the workload of being a student athlete so also make sure that you discuss any major decisions with your academic advisors.
Many teams host open tryouts. It is important to reach out to the coaches if you are interested in joining a team.
Lifeguarding tryouts are usually run throughout the year when there is an open position. Keep an eye on the job board for postings or request to speak with the manager of Maxbell Aquatics to inquire about open tryouts. All lifeguards must have up-to-date certification.

While the Register for Classes and Browse Classes options allow filtering by Campus, the Plan Ahead tool does not currently support that functionality. This is due to a technical limitation: Plan Ahead pulls data from the Course Catalogue, which unfortunately doesn’t include a Campus filter field.
That said, once you click on “View Sections” for a course in Plan Ahead, you’ll see a column indicating the Campus where each section is offered.
