If you have not met our English Language Proficiency requirement and received a conditional acceptance letter, it is valid for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

Can I apply for an undergraduate program without an English Language Proficiency Test?

Yes. If you are academically admissible, we will issue you a Conditional Letter of Acceptance. You can then provide your ELP test results soon after being accepted to receive your full acceptance letter.

Can I transfer credits to the U of R?

Yes, you can transfer credits to the U of R. Transfer credit is awarded at the discretion of the faculty or college you are applying to. Transfer credit may be given for up to two years of work at other accredited post-secondary institutions. However, some programs may only give limited credit. Once admitted to the university, you can make a request to your faculty or college to evaluate your previous work and award transfer credit relevant to your program of choice.

After you apply, you will need to submit an official transcript (in a sealed envelope, directly from the institution attended) and course descriptions in order to allow an accurate assessment of the courses. Transfer credits will not be considered without the official transcript or if the institution is not accredited. Transfer credit will not be awarded for courses taken at institutions that are not listed on application forms. Review our Transfer Credit Policy.

What should I do if my acceptance letter is expired?
If your acceptance letter is expired, you will need to apply for readmission to the University of Regina so that you can be issued a new acceptance letter with extended dates. There is a $50.00 CAD administrative fee to apply for readmission.

After you have paid your tuition deposit, ensure that you login, and have access to, your uregina email account. You will be notified by email to your uregina email account when your PAL is available to download from MyCreds.
