International admission requirements
International applications are evaluated on a competitive basis, taking into account factors such as grades, English language proficiency, and campus diversity.
Most of our programs require the equivalent of a Canadian high school diploma. However, some courses require specific courses such as Math and Biology for admission. Check the Admissions section of the Program page that you are interested in for details.
Required international documents
International students whose first language is not English must also meet English language proficiency requirements.
International students from a select number of countries may be able to meet English language proficiency requirements with the equivalent of a Grade 12-level or postsecondary-level English course completed at a school or college/university within their country.
Program costs
International tuition fee estimates and overall program rates are based on the 2022-2023 academic year and are subject to change for the 2023-2024 academic year upon annual review each May. The Alberta Ministry of Education approves all tuition rates for Lethbridge College programs.
Immigration information
You are required to get a study permit for any program that is more than six months in duration. For more information on how to apply for a study permit or the PGWP program, visit Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website here.
