University of Alberta application deadlines for Fall 2027

The University of Alberta's main Fall 2027 calendar confirms March 1, 2027 for most programs. It isn't a promise that every faculty uses that date. The program selector separates high school, post-secondary transfer and internal applicants. It also separates entry terms. Don't select a Winter or Summer row for a Fall plan. The checked selector shell names Fall 2027, but its data couldn't be read. Individual rows remain unconfirmed here. Ask Admissions to confirm the exact degree and background if the selector doesn't show a usable answer.

If you're new to the U of A, you can choose two programs on one form. If you study there now, or did before, you get one choice per form. You also need to pay. The school won't treat the online form as sent until you've paid the fee. Save proof of the choice you sent. Our Alberta university hub covers the school as a whole. The Canadian deadline comparison helps you check other schools' dates too.

The timeline's main heading says Fall 2027. Its rows explicitly name October 1, 2026 and March 1, 2027. Yet an inner heading still says Fall 2024. We retain that source conflict rather than changing the printed years. The dated rows support the new-cycle dates in the table above. They don't update every yearless faculty page by association. Recheck on November 1, 2026 if a personal instruction or program row differs. Save the wording of any school reply that resolves your case.

Direct requests to the public dates page returned an access block. We read its university-owned preview CMS mirror and saved that response. The public links here remain the canonical university addresses. That doesn't mean the public host returned HTTP 200 to our direct request. The selector's public data request was blocked too; its mirror endpoint returned no data. No live form was tested. The Canadian application opening guide keeps opening-day questions separate from these closing and document tasks.

Applications, entrance awards and residence opened October 1, 2026. That confirmed opening doesn't promise an offer in October. The general calendar describes rolling evaluations. It doesn't publish one separate early admission closing day for every program. Nursing now has named rounds for some groups instead. Keep the main application date and any required earlier award form in your plan. Applying near March 1 can leave little time to fix a missing record before a program review.

The same calendar gives February 15, 2027 for the Program Change Request form. February 19 is when those who qualify can add new final high school marks from first term. These are different jobs. A mark update doesn't change your chosen degree. A program-change form doesn't send a missing transcript. Check each task in Launchpad, the school's account for your form. For course planning, read the Alberta Engineering guide or Computing Science guide. You still need to meet their course rules.

April 30, 2027 is the central deadline to self-report final high school marks. August 1, 2027 is the general high school deadline for outstanding documents. A transfer applicant's general final-document date is June 15, 2027. Those are separate stages in the dated calendar. Read your faculty's document instructions too. The school can need material before a final deadline to assess you. A late final-document day doesn't mean an incomplete file can receive an earlier decision.

Ontario high school students must arrange for final official records to come directly from their school. Sending choices to Ontario universities doesn't send those records to Alberta. Alberta students can consent to automatic final-transcript delivery. The central calendar says those records normally arrive in early August. Don't treat that note as an extension for every province. For international records, uploads can support review while official final documents follow. French originals don't need a translation. Other non-English originals need an official English translation. Ask about delivery before your school closes for a break.

High school applicants to Collaborative and Bilingual Nursing have scheduled Fall 2027 decision weeks. They begin November 9 and December 14, 2026. The 2027 weeks begin February 1, March 8, April 12, June 1 and August 16. The faculty says this schedule can change. These are decision weeks, not document cutoffs or guaranteed offer dates. Applicants who aren't admitted in one round are reconsidered in later rounds. Keep checking the requested items in Launchpad while your application is pending.

Those high school offers allow 30 days to accept and pay the deposit, unless the offer states otherwise. The faculty warns that a missed reply cancels the offer. Transfer applicants and the Honors or After Degree routes still use rolling review. The May 1 reply line for Honors and After Degree is yearless. It isn't the same applicant group as the new high school rule. Use the Alberta Nursing requirements for route details and the exact letter for your personal reply date.

The public Art and Design dates page, read through the web tool, gives March 1 for Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Design applications and portfolios. It calls this a new date. The official CMS mirror instead says May 1. Both versions use yearless general guidance. The mirror's after-you-apply page also retains May 1. We don't present either as a verified Fall 2027 program row. Ask the department to confirm the application and portfolio deadlines together. Waiting for May 1 could miss the earlier published date.

A department's portfolio decision also isn't the Registrar's final admission. The after-you-apply page says an offer of a faculty place needs its own response. It then requires formal university admission based on your academic record. Keep the faculty email as well as Launchpad. Its yearless May assessment and late-May result pattern remain latest available. They don't guarantee when a new-cycle portfolio result will arrive. Submit your own work and follow the current portfolio instructions when your application opens the task.

The official Music mirror still labels its auditions Fall 2026. That calendar gives February 15, 2026 for the first form and April 12 for the later form. Live auditions fall on February 28, March 7 and April 25, with instrument differences. Video submissions use February 22 and April 19 in that cycle. The separate how-to page instead gives yearless February 1 and April 1 audition forms. We haven't confirmed a Fall 2027 audition day. Don't shift the 2026 weekdays or dates forward a year.

Music's how-to page also asks for the university application before May 1. It gives July 15 for transfer supporting records, including references, while the central new-cycle transfer date is June 15, 2027. These yearless faculty instructions need a direct check. The Composition and Sonic Arts route also needs a portfolio. Ask about that extra task if it's your choice. An audition application, composition portfolio and university application serve different purposes. Finishing one doesn't establish that the others are complete.

The main entrance award form opens October 1, 2026. It closes January 10, 2027 for September 2027 entry. Apply to a degree first. You'll then get a Campus Computing ID, or CCID. This can take two to three business days. The entrance group covers direct high school entry. It also covers time off after school if you gained no post-secondary credit. Transfer and professional entrants use their own award forms. Read the Alberta financial-aid guide before choosing one.

Two named forms have a different date. Discover University of Alberta and Turtle Spirit Pathway close February 15, 2027. Notices begin in mid-April 2027. Each has direct-entry rules and asks about barriers to paying for school. Turtle Spirit also needs proof of Indigenous identity. These forms don't extend January 10 for other awards. The international award page gives January 10 without a year. It says notices start in early winter. Its exact new-cycle result days remain unconfirmed. The dated central form doesn't confirm every international award's terms.

The central calendar confirms April 30, 2027 for new students to apply for the North Campus residence guarantee. The detailed eligibility page lists first-year undergraduates and other groups, but its April 30 dates have no year. Don't extend the dated North Campus row to every campus or applicant without checking. The guarantee is for a Fall move-in. It doesn't promise your preferred building or room type. The Alberta residence guide covers the housing choices and current costs.

Housing says Fall 2027 and Winter 2028 applications are open. A lower application caption still names Fall 2026 and Winter 2027. Check the session before submitting. You can get a CCID after applying to a program, without waiting for admission. The room offer later requires a confirmation contract. A shared Fall 2027 confirmation or deposit day isn't established here. The payment page's yearless September 30 term-rent date doesn't fill that gap. Your offer identifies the payment type. Bank payments can take at least three business days to show in Bear Tracks.

Under a Fall 2027 heading, the general acceptance table gives May 1 for offers on or before April 1. Offers dated April 2 to August 1 allow 30 days. Offers after August 1 allow 14 days. An inner heading still says Fall 2024. The central timeline also differs at one boundary: its May 1 line says offers made before April 1. If your offer is dated April 1, don't settle that difference yourself. Read its Launchpad deadline or ask Admissions. Nursing and professional program exceptions remain separate.

Accepting and paying a tuition deposit are admission tasks. They don't confirm a residence room. If you miss a deadline, contact the responsible office with the exact program and task. The selector page says official extensions are posted by Admissions or the faculty. We couldn't verify an extension for your program from its data. An available program elsewhere doesn't reopen this one. A missing document or late reply needs a school decision, so don't assume a grace period. Keep your written reply with the original dated offer.

Write your exact program and applicant group beside each task. Start the degree application before the award account is needed. Ask your school how final transcripts will reach Alberta. If you want Art and Design or Music, request the current program-specific calendar. Recheck unresolved dates on November 1, 2026.
