Applicant FAQ in COVID-19 Crisis

 

Diploma exams, or not

If you are an Alberta student who chooses not to write diploma exams, your acceptance will be based on your school mark. Our policy is to accept the better of the school mark or the diploma mark, as long as you've been awarded full credits. In other words, if you choose not to write diploma exams, have passed your courses and been given provincial credit, Lakeland will accept those marks.

 

The same thing applies if you went to high school outside of Alberta. If your province has made mandatory diploma exams are optional this year and you are granted provincial credit in that course with your school provided grades, then Lakeland will accept those marks. You will need to provide an official transcript from your provincial/territorial education department.

Don't worry if you haven't begun your work experience hours or can't complete them due to COVID-19.

 

Your seat in the program is safe.

 

In the months ahead, once it is safe to do so, please reach out to your vet clinic to reschedule your work experience.

 

It's our hope that you can still gain this valuable exposure to the work that happens in a vet clinic before you start your program in September.

 

Once the crisis is over and circumstances don't allow you to do work experience, please contact our admission team at admissions@lakelandcollege.ca. We'll  make that note on your file
