Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Indian-curriculum applicants submit Class XII board results for final admission.
  • For early assessment, CBSE/CISCE students submit Class X results and predicted Class XII grades; state-board applicants have a separate Class XI/Class XII evidence route.
  • Science requires mathematics; Alberta states that CBSE/CISCE Mathematics meets its algebra and calculus equivalencies.
  • The admission calculation uses five required senior subjects; verify the selected BSc subject combination and competitive average.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • For the English-language BSc route, IELTS Academic requires 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0.
  • Alberta does not accept IELTS One Skill Retake for admission.
  • Approved school qualifications or prior education can satisfy English proficiency, but the university assesses the evidence; do not assume a general medium-of-instruction letter is sufficient.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Plan for Fall 2027 undergraduate science entry and confirm the start term for the selected Computing Science award.
  • The university's wider undergraduate calendar also covers winter, spring and summer terms; check programme availability separately.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • For Fall 2027 Computing Science, confirm the Faculty of Science application and document closing dates for the selected award and applicant category using the official deadline tool.
  • Check any published extensions separately.
  • Applicants seeking application-based September 2027 entrance awards must apply to the degree first and complete the scholarship application by 10 January 2027.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Alberta uses a programme-based tuition model for new international undergraduates.
  • Its Fall 2026 policy provides an annual and total tuition guarantee in the admission letter, based on the approved rate for the admission term.
  • The guarantee covers instructional tuition; residence, non-instructional fees and textbooks are additional.
  • Obtain the Fall 2027 Computing Science cohort's tuition guarantee before accepting.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Alberta distinguishes automatic admission-based awards from awards requiring an application.
  • For September 2027 entrants, the entrance scholarship application closes on 10 January 2027.
  • International eligibility and individual award criteria must be checked; submitting the application does not establish an award.
