Our transfer program offers university-level courses at a small, friendly campus. Students may earn transferable credits towards a degree at the University of Alberta (U of A), the University of Saskatchewan (USask), or any other major university in Alberta or Saskatchewan. Transfer outside those provinces is an option as well, but will require more research by the student. Prospective students are encouraged to make early contact with the College, participate in enrolment events such as Open House and attend information sessions to learn more about the program and its options. Visit the College website for events and details: lakelandcollege.ca

Our small class sizes provide greater interaction with instructors and individual student support. Qualified and approachable faculty instruct our courses; teaching remains our focus. At Lakeland College, our instructors utilize their educational accomplishments and real-world experiences to create a positive learning environment for students. For example, science students are able to “lead the learning” in labs and field trips, and education students work with school children in local classrooms. Our smaller campus setting also makes it easy for students to get involved in extra-curricular activities such as recreation, student government, and social events. Our wide variety of Student Services provides resources for financial, personal, academic and health concerns.

University Transfer Transferring Course Work Lakeland College’s University Transfer courses normally are modeled on corresponding courses at the University of Alberta (U of A). Official transfer agreements “match” courses at one institution to courses at another institution and are recorded in the provincial transfer guides. The transfer college (Lakeland College) is considered the sending institution and is responsible for negotiating agreements with the universities to which students commonly transfer, otherwise known as “receiving institutions”. Ultimately, the “receiving institutions” determine whether or not they will accept the transfer courses from the “sending institution.” When a formal agreement is made, it is generally recorded through the Registrar’s Offices at both institutions and–in Alberta–recorded in their official guide. The Alberta Transfer Guide (available at www.transferalberta.ca) provides a listing of Lakeland College courses that are transferable within the province. The University of Saskatchewan (USask) and University of Regina (U of R) maintain publicly accessible databases of transfer credit on their websites at: https://admissions.usask.ca/requirements/transfer-credit.php and https://www.uregina.ca/registrar/transfer-credit/transfer-credit-database.html. Canada does not have a nation-wide transfer system, but many students have transferred successfully to universities in other provinces and the USA. Students who enter UT intending to pursue a degree outside of Alberta or Saskatchewan are encouraged to make contact with the receiving institution early in the process. The universities may request copies of course outlines, sample assignments, and exams, so it can be a time-consuming process. The Academic Advisor will aid in the process as much as possible. However, the final decision on transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution and will not be confirmed until the student applies to the receiving institution and submits final, official transcripts from the sending institution. Generally, course transfers run smoothly. However, there are legitimate reasons that courses may not transfer. Roles and Responsibilities: The college experience works best when we communicate and work together. Here are some tips on how to do that. Academic Advising is a partnership and shared respibility between students and advisors. Academic Advisors at Lakeland College provide information and resources that help students make informed decisions about their course selection and transfer options. However, students are ultimately responsible for ensuring that their course registration is complete and appropriate for their desired program of study and that they meet individual course pre-requisite and graduation requirements. Student who change their routes should be aware that there may not be room in the new program for all previously completed courses. Students intending to transfer to another post-secondary institution should be aware of the following:

• Admission to Lakeland College and completion of courses does not guarantee admission to programs at other institutions. Studend must also meeth the entrance requirements of the post-secondary institution which may include specific high school pre-requisites, as well as minimum and/ or competitive GPAs.

• Students must also follow the admission procedures of the receiving institution which included submission of transcripts (high school, postsecondary, and advanced placement marks), adhere to deadlines, and payment of fees.

• There may be quotas on the number of students admitted to the program at the receiving institution. For example, some programs may admit a limited number of out-of-province or international students.

• Some receiving institutions specify a minimum grade for transfer credit. • Courses may be “too old” to transfer as-depending upon the area-they may have a “shelf life” (a time limit on the granting of transfer credit). • When applying to post-secondary institutions, students need to carefully read and follow all information supplied by that institution. All students are strongly advised to refer to the Academic Calendar of the receiving institution and should contact appropriate departments regarding specific requirements. If students encounter problems with transferring credits, they are encouraged to bring all documentation and contact names from the receiving institution to the Lakeland College Registrar’s Office or Academic Advisor for review. Course Load: A normal course load is five courses per semester which equals 15 credits per semester or 30 credits per year. Each course is valued at three credits, except ANPH 210, ENGL 112 and NS 171 which are six credits. Students may attend either part time or full time but should be aware that some institutions and programs require a minimum number of credits to transfer.

Note: Not every course is offered each year, and not every combination of courses is possible. Timetabling limitations may occur. General Information: Completion of University Transfer courses does not guarantee admission to degree programs at universities. A student must also meet all the admission requirements of the degree-granting institution. This may mean having the appropriate high school courses and average. Admission after completing UT courses is competitive. There may be limitations (quotas) on the number of students admitted to the degree program at the receiving institution. Some receiving institutions specify a minimum grade for transfer credit. Students who change programs or receiving institutions should be aware that there may not be room in the new program for all previously completed courses.

University Transfer Overview of Program Routes Bachelor of Arts (B.A.): This degree is designed to provide students with a liberal arts education. Many career opportunities are available to graduates of an Arts degree – from psychologists to police officers to politicians. Students develop diverse skills in research, communication, writing, organization, critical thinking, and analysis that are applicable to many careers. A B.A. may also provide preparation for further study such as Law, Masters, or AfterDegree programs. Bachelor of Commerce: A business degree opens many doors. Graduates may pursue opportunities in government and large enterprises or become partners or owners of small firms. The types of positions graduates hold in these organizations range from systems analysts to financial analysts, from sales managers to accountants. The commerce degree may also provide preparation for further study towards professional designations such as CPA or professional programs in Law or MBA (Masters in Business Administration). Bachelor of Science: Many students will begin their studies in a general science program in order to fulfil the requirements for another area of study (such as Pharmacy, Medicine, or Dentistry). However, there are many areas of study and career options with a Bachelor of Science degree. Graduates may pursue careers in consulting or research and areas of interest such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals or environment. Medical Laboratory Science: The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta (U of A) offers an undergraduate degree program in Medical Laboratory Science to meet the demand for more highly qualified research laboratory personnel; for senior and supervisory technologists in large hospitals, government, and private laboratories; and for teaching positions in various schools of medical laboratory technology. Those wishing to enroll in the program must complete a full-time, pre-professional year of study, followed by three years in the Division of Medical Laboratory Science of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the U of A. Students spend one year in practical hospital training, rotating through public and private laboratories. Graduates become important members of a health care team, performing a variety of laboratory tests and procedures which assist in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases. Pre-Dental Hygiene: The University of Alberta’s (U of A’s) Dental Hygiene diploma program consists of one year of pre-professional study followed by years two, three, and four in the dental hygiene degree program to complete Bachelor of Science (Dental Hygiene Specialization). The dental hygienist is an integral member of the health care team and strives to improve oral health by providing preventive services and educational information to the public. Clinical dental hygiene services may include assessing patients’ health status, inspecting hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity, removing deposits and stains from teeth, exposing and developing dental radiographs, applying topical fluorides, administering anesthetic, taking impressions for study models, and polishing amalgam restorations. Educational information may include nutritional and oral hygiene counseling and community dental health program planning, implementation, and evaluation. Dentistry: According to the Canadian Dental Association, dentistry is an artistic as well as scientific profession. Dentists must have an artist’s aesthetic sense, an eye for detail and the manual dexterity to perform precise procedures in a small area. Dentists must also be good communicators who can interact well with a diverse group of people. Visit the Canadian Dental Association website at www.cda-adc.ca to learn more about the profession and the required Dental Aptitude Test (DAT). Nursing: The University of Saskatchewan’s new four-year College of Nursing undergraduate program was introduced in 2011 with a first year of preprofessional studies in arts and sciences followed by three years of nursing education. This unique program will appeal to those with a strong academic standing, an attitude of curiosity and inquiry, and a genuine interest in caring for diverse people of all ages. Graduates will earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and will play a vital role in health care in Saskatchewan and beyond. Nutrition: According to the USask website, dieticians and nutritionists advise and educate people about food, diet, and nutrition. This may focus on the nutritional needs of certain members of the population such as children, senior citizens, or low-income families. They may work under provincial regulatory bodies to ensure that clients receive safe and ethical advice. To become a Registered Dietician, students need to complete the degree, a professional internship (which is included within the degree at the USask), and the Canadian Dietetic Registration Examination. See the Dieticians of Canada website for more details: www.dietitians.ca Pharmacy: Qualifications for registration as a licensed pharmacist for most provinces in Canada include a bachelor’s or doctor of pharmacy degree from an accredited program, completion of the national board exam through the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada, and completion of structured practical experience through an apprenticeship/internship program. See the appropriate university calendar or website for more information about the profession and requirements. As a profession, pharmacy is changing so visit the Canadian Pharmacists’ Association for additional details: http://www. pharmacists.ca/ Veterinary Medicine: Members of the profession of Veterinary Medicine are primarily responsible for the health of farm livestock and poultry, as well as pets. Veterinarians diagnose animal illnesses, treat diseased and injured animals, perform surgery, provide preventive medical services, and provide advice regarding the care and breeding of animals. However, other opportunities exist in government service and public health, such as inspection of production and storage and distribution of animal food products. Research opportunities are also available. Prospective veterinarians must complete at least two years of pre-professional study followed by a four-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program. Because of the competitive nature of the program, most applicants for DVM programs will have to complete more than two years of university work in a related faculty such as science or agriculture before being admitted to the degree program. Students are, therefore, encouraged to explore other options in science as a “back-up” plan.

University Transfer Overview of Program Routes continued Social Work: According to the Canadian Association of Social Workers, social work is a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own resources and those of the community to resolve problems. Social work is concerned with individual and personal problems but also with broader social issues such as poverty, unemployment and domestic violence. Social workers provide services as members of a team or on a one-to-one basis. The duties performed by social workers depend upon the settings in which they work. Social workers employed by child welfare agencies (public and private) investigate cases of family violence, child abuse and neglect and take protective action as required; they may recruit foster parents, supervise the placement of children in protective care, or work on adoption cases. Many school boards hire social workers to help students adjust to the school environment and to help students, parents and teachers to deal with problems such as aggressive behavior, truancy and family problems. In general and psychiatric hospitals, social workers provide a link between the treatment team, the family, and community resources. In health and community services centers, social workers may provide counseling to individuals, families, and seniors. In the correctional field, social workers may be part of a team concerned with the social rehabilitation of young or adult offenders. They may work as classification officers, probation officers, or parole officers. Social workers in private practice offer their services on a fee-for-service basis to individuals, families and organizations; their services include counseling, psychotherapy, mediation, sex therapy, policy and program development, organizational development, and employee assistance programs. Government departments and social planning councils may employ social workers in policy analysis, policy development and planning. Researchers are found in universities and governments. Others are teaching in universities and community colleges. To learn more, visit www.casw-acts.ca. Route Admission Requirements: Route

Legend: Checkmark means required to be admitted into the program route. Star shows when extra requirements might be needed, depending on major and/or minor choice. Example: -

U of A psychology will need at least Math 30-2 or Foundations Math 30

-

Science – physics is good to have as some majors have a physics requirement especially if planning to transfer to USask.

Popular Transfer Routes: The department recognizes that many students are interested in starting at Lakeland College and pursuing degrees in specialized areas such as Engineering, Kinesiology, or Nursing, but; because of the specific nature of coursework in those types of programs, a full year (30 credits) of transferable credit may not be possible. Students are able to take a first year of general sciences and then apply to Engineering; however, admission is competitive and students will not receive transfer credit for a full year of study. The total amount of time to finish the degree would be five years (not four). The requirements for a Kinesiology (or Phys Ed) degree vary greatly between programs and institutions. In general, UT offers some of the core requirements of a Kinesiology degree but does not offer many Physical Education courses, so due to the sequencing of courses students may require five years (not four) to complete the degree if they begin their studies here. Students are able to spend a pre-professional year of study at Lakeland College and then apply to transfer to the USask’s Nursing program. However, students planning to apply to other Nursing degrees would not receive a full year of transferable coursework and would need five years (not four) to complete their degree. Students interested in these degrees should discuss their options with the university.

Students take 19 University Transfer courses, plus the required SOWK 240. 4. UT students may complete some of the required courses and some electives in their first year and then apply to transfer to the university (either the Regina or Saskatoon campus) for their second year. In year two, transfer students would continue in the pre-Social Work program and take INDG 100 and SW 100 (required for admission to the BSW). Students would be eligible to apply for a Bachelor of Social Work degree for their third and fourth years of study. Students are also welcome to apply and register as visiting students with U of R and take INDG 100 and SW 100 online while taking Lakeland classes. 5. Students can take the requirements again in one year, but it will be tough. Students must complete English plus three sciences each semester. Then, in one of those semesters, also take statistics. It’s recommended that students meet the requirements over two years. 6. An additional six credits of Human Physiology are now required. Students may take one year of sciences and transfer to a science program at the U of A to complete the remaining 30 credits of pre-professional requirements. Some students have chosen to take the 6-credit course online through the U of A. This allows them to stay for the full 2 years. 7. An additional three credits of Metabolism Biochemistry are required. Students may take one year of science and transfer to a science program at USask to complete the remaining 30 credits of pre-professional requirements for pharmacy. 8. Students can only take up to 57 credits of non-education courses for the community-based education program at U of C. Some supplemental courses through Athabasca University or Northern Lakes College may be required for certain teaching areas. Typically, students will apply after one year with Lakeland. All education courses at the U of C are online, except for 2-3 times when students are required to be on campus for 2 weeks in July.
