All applicants to the University of Lethbridge must pay a non-refundable application processing fee, as follows:

  • Undergraduate applicants who have attended educational institutions in Canada only: $140 CAD
  • Graduate applicants who have attended educational institutions in Canada only: $125 (CAD)
  • Applicants who have attended one or more educational institutions outside of Canada: $140 (CAD)

Note: Applicants may submit only one application for admission per term (excluding applications for English for Academic Purposes). Requests to be considered for admission to an alternate undergraduate program should be emailed to admissions@uleth.ca.

Review our undergraduate document requirements and make arrangements for necessary documents to be submitted before the relevant decision document deadline.

The University of Lethbridge will consider unofficial documents and documents reporting interim grades or courses in progress to make a conditional admission decision but reserves the right to request official documents and to verify all transcripts and test scores. Any offer of admission made on the basis of unofficial or interim documents will be conditional upon receipt of final official documents. Such documents must confirm the applicant’s eligibility for admission, including current competitive admission standards.

Unofficial and interim documents may be submitted by email to admissions@uleth.ca or by mail to:
