In most cases, simply providing your official transcripts is adequate. If we require more information after receiving your transcripts, we may ask you to submit a course outline (or syllabus) for a particular course we need to evaluate.
Yes. After you apply, you will need to send in your transcripts and detailed course outlines for required subjects so that we can evaluate your coursework.
See the International High School Credentials Chart for information about high school credentials that we recognize. While we are not able to provide precise details for every country, you can find general information about accepted equivalencies from certain countries below.
Yes. Even if your post-secondary coursework is not directly equivalent, we may be able to accept it if it is deemed to be at a higher level than what your NorQuest program requires. After you apply, you should submit all of your high school and post-secondary transcripts for evaluation.
Possibly. NorQuest College usually considers Language Arts or Literature courses at an appropriate grade level to be acceptable instead of -2 stream (non-academic) language arts courses in Alberta. For example, a Grade 12 Language Arts course in French could be accepted for meeting an English language arts 30-2 requirement for most programs. Communications courses and courses designed for second-language learners are not acceptable for meeting language arts admission requirements.
Your options may include writing an academic assessment to show that you meet requirements, taking a course through our Academic Upgrading program, and/or selecting an alternate program for which you do meet the requirements. See Options for more information.
