University of Calgary Nursing Transfer January 2017

World Canada CA Programs

Published

I applied to the U of C Winter 2017 program! I took the Athabasca University A/P course and haven't done well in it due to some family health issues that have taken most of my time. It is strange for me as that course comes in way below what i am used to getting. I have a 89.46 major average at the University of Waterloo. Unfortunately due to the uniqueness of my program there, most of those high average courses wont transfer and they will probably end up taking my lowest marks. I am really confused about how they calculate averages though. I know that an 80-84 is a 3.7 but then it drops to 77-79.9 is a 3.3. So how do we know what is in between that? Also i have courses transferring from an exchange in Australia but they wont tell me what they translate to in my GPA. I think that i am actually about to go crazy from the anxiety that i feel not knowing these things! It is 1 am and i am frantically searching for answers when i work at 4 am. Can anyone help me out? Also when i called they told me that the cutoff is 3.07 BUT that the faculty will release a higher one later on. Good luck everyone! :)

Hi kswain8,

thank you that is very helpful! Ya I never thought to re-take courses from my degree but that definitely makes sense!

Thanks for the suggestions í ½í¸Š

Congrats! Do you mind me asking what your GPA was?

Has anyone called recently to see if there have been any changes in the admitting GPA?

Hi @ashes12. I took two courses through Athabasca. Health Sciences I and II. They were time-consuming but relatively easy and quite interesting. Best of luck!

Congrats on getting accepted nt122! Do you mind if I ask what year you are in your current program? Or do you have a full degree? I have applied to degree holder and am on the waitlist. Just wondering if any degree holders are being accepted into the transfer route. Thanks!

Thanks amigone and ashes12! I just took some courses at a college for a year. I actually saw on the website that it says "Degree holders will only be admitted to the Transfer Route as space permits."
