The University of Calgary’s Faculty of Nursing will introduce a new admissions process to diversify the cohort of candidates admitted to the program. Starting in Fall 2026, the Faculty of Nursing will change to a lottery admissions process, in which applicants who have an overall average of 82% and have completed all required courses will be selected using a computerized system during different times in the admission cycle. “Expanding the admission criteria will open the degree to more qualified, excellent applicants who may currently be self-selecting out given the unnecessarily high admission average we currently have,” said UCalgary Faculty of Nursing Interim Dean Dr Catherine Laing.
