Tools for Success

ACADEMIC CALENDAR
For information on program requirements and academic regulations, the
Academic Calendar is the best place to start.


PROGRAM PLANNING GUIDES
When it comes time to register for your
certificate, diploma, or applied degree classes, a Program Planning Guide will advise you of the courses you should be taking, and the appropriate sequence to take them in.


UNIVERSITY STUDIES PLANNER
If you are enrolled in a University Studies program and plan to transfer to a university in Alberta, you are required to review the University Studies Planner. We encourage you to review this document as soon as you are accepted to your program, as it will help you plan your course registration. It will also guide you to important information at your transfer institution.


COURSE OUTLINES
Would you like to know more about the courses you will be taking? Or perhaps you need help choosing an elective? Reading through Course Outlines/Syllabi can help you understand the learning outcomes of a course prior to registering.


ALBERTA TRANSFER GUIDE
When selecting courses in a University Studies program, you need to ensure the courses will transfer to your university. You can use the Alberta Transfer Guide to see whether MHC post-secondary courses and programs will transfer to other institutions. Please note –it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that their selected courses will transfer to their chosen university.
