English Language Proficiency (ELP)

This requirement may be met in a variety of ways (see Admission, English Language Requirements).
Courses that can be substituted, one for the other, to meet any specified course requirement. The regulations that apply to repeated courses also apply to equivalent courses. Students should note, in particular, the calculation of grade point average (see Academic Regulations, Repeat of a Course). Courses that are equivalent are denoted with an ‘Equivalent’ course element in the course description.

Extra-to-Program Course Credit
University of Lethbridge and transferable course credit that cannot be used to meet program requirements. Examples of course credit that may be deemed extra-to-program include a University of Lethbridge course taken outside a student’s program requirements or eligible electives, one of a substantially similar course pair, and awarded institutional transferable course that does not fulfill program requirements or does not meet program residence requirements. Extra-to-program course credit is maintained on the student record and calculated into applicable grade point averages. Should students change programs, previous extra-to-program course credit should be reviewed to determine if it may be used to meet the program requirements of the new program. (See Admission, Transfer Credit, and Academic Regulations, Exceeding Course Limits).
