Hi everyone! I have two questions about the University of Alberta. I thought I'd ask here before contacting the department directly.
1. I've heard rumours that applicants with pre-reqs that are in progress at the time of application are at a serious disadvantage -- or could even be disqualified, even if the pre-reqs should be complete well before the start of the program. Can anyone confirm that?
2. Does anyone know if there's an expiry date on pre-reqs? Suppose someone is a career changer and took some of the courses several years ago.
Thanks for any guidance!
Hey there!
I'm currently in my first year of the MSc. S-LP program at the U of A. Regarding your first question, I had one course in progress at the time of the application deadline. Last year, people started getting early acceptances before I even finished that course. I was notified I was on the waitlist in March and received acceptance in April. Regarding your second question, I believe the expiry date is 10 years, but you should ask someone at the admissions office! I was a career changer - I worked in a different field for a few years before pursuing S-LP.
Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Hi everyone!!
I was on the waitlist at U of A and I just got accepted!! Vicki sent me an email at 9:30am.
good luck to those waiting! I’m rooting for all of you!

I’m also wondering if anyone has heard from the waitlist at the U of A?
I was creeping some older forums and it seems like there was more movement in the first two weeks of April for Dal and U of A waitlists.

hello all!
quick question, are we able to add a prerequisite grade to our file? I didn't receive my final grade for one class by the time I had to submit my application and was wondering if it's possible to add it in now? does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks
Hey!
I assume you’re talking about UAlberta? I had a class in progress when I first applied and only got the final grade mid March. I emailed Noriko and she helped me update my graduate portal - I sent her an updated transcript and prereq doc. I think you can update the grad portal yourself, but better to let Noriko or an admissions admin know that you have updated info!
Hope that helps!

Do you guys think Alberta emailed everyone on waitlist already?? Still hoping they will send some more out today... :S
I got the waitlist email from Vicki around 4:30pm (close to the end of the work day), so she might have saved some for today to send out? I’m not sure though

I just got an email from Vicki that I have been waitlisted at the University of Alberta as well!
Sending positive vibes to everyone still waiting for a response and/or on the waiting list.
Prospective UAlberta MSc. S-LP Students!!!

Hi Everyone!
I'm a second year MSc. S-LP student at the University of Alberta. I wanted to make a quick post about an opportunity that might be of interest for people who are applying to the program.
The OASIS (Organization of Alberta Students in Speech) Conference this year is held on Saturday September 28, 2019 at the University of Alberta (ECHA building). The conference's theme this year is "Communication Access: Building Bridges to Participation." In addition to clinicians, we often get interested undergraduate students traveling from AB, BC and SK attending the conference!
The most important and helpful session for prospective students is "How to navigate the S-LP application process" which is presented by the admissions coordinator, Ms. Vicki Trombley. This year, the conference is also providing the opportunity for prospective students to sign up for a tour of the Rehab Med building, where the S-LP classes are held. These tours will be led by 2nd year MSc. S-LP students, so you can ask as many questions as you want about their application and journey in the program!
For more details on the event, follow visit this facebook page! We look forward to seeing you there. Feel free to ask any questions about the program or the conference!
