First Impressions

The GSA First Impressions program is designed to make the move to Lethbridge, or the move from undergrad to graduate student life, smoother for new students.

Incoming graduate students are paired with current graduate students who are able to answer questions and provide information, usually via email. A campus tour is also (usually) the first part of this partnership.

Visit the GSA website for more information about this program and to sign up as a volunteer or to be paired with a current student. 

2015-16 Revised Student Fees

In June 2015, the Provincial Government announced Bill 3, the proposed interim supply bill that proposed a freeze to tuition at the 2014-15 levels, as well as the elimination of market modifiers. 

 In July 2015, the University received clarification from the Government on the details of the fees to be frozen.  The revised eligible tuition and mandatory fees for 2015-16 have now been approved by the Board of Governors and have been adjusted on the Summer 2015 fee assessments.  Adjustments can be viewed on the Bridge Account Summary page.

AGILITY scholarships

The Office of the Vice-President (Research) is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity, the AGILITY Research and Innovation Fund. This program will provide a meaningful learning experience for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in pursuing an entrepreneurial opportunity.
