Program Planning Guides
Where can I find information on courses and course offerings?
Information on approved courses offered at ULethbridge can be found in the Course Catalogue. Students may obtain information about the content of a specific course by inquiring at the academic unit - department, Faculty, or School - which offers that course.
Information about which courses will be offered - when, where, and by which instructor - is available on the Bridge.
What supports are available to students?
You are the focus of everything we do at ULethbridge. From finding the program that's right for you to applying for graduation, we have many services to help guide you on your academic journey.
Planning Planning Guides are not a graduation check or guarantee of course offerings. You should have a program check done in your final year of studies. Students are responsible for ensuring they have met program requirements. Program Planning Guides should be used in conjunction with the University of Lethbridge Academic Calendar, which is the final authority on program requirements and academic regulations.
For programs not listed, please contact an Academic Advisor.

Combined Degrees Programs (Non-Education)
Combined Degrees programs at the University of Lethbridge are generally 50 courses (five years) in length and provide students with the opportunity to meet the requirements for two degrees offered by two different Faculties or Schools. Note that some Combined Degrees programs require more than 50 courses. Students must be admitted to both Faculties and/or Schools responsible for a particular Combined Degrees program before they may be registered formally in the program. Some programs have enrolment limits and there is no guarantee of admission to Combined Degrees programs. The student is granted neither degree until all program requirements for both degrees are satisfied.
