SAPL’s deadlines per semester are based on each year’s Academic Schedule, as determined by the University of Calgary.  The student request deadlines you see noted on the top of this page are based on the following, reoccurring pattern: 

Fall Semester

• Course overload: first day of the Start of Term 

• Prerequisite waiver: the Monday before the Start of Term 

• Time conflict: first day of the Start of Term 

• Third attempt: the Monday before the Start of Term 

Winter Semester

• Course overload: first day of the Start of Term 

• Prerequisite waiver: first day of the Start of Term 

• Time conflict: first day of the Start of Term 

• Third attempt: first day of the Start of Term 

Academic Misconduct refers to student behavior which compromises proper assessment of a student’s academic activities. For information on the Student Academic Misconduct Policy and Procedures please refer to:

• Student Academic Misconduct Policy
• Student Academic Misconduct Procedure

Each student’s academic performance is assessed annually after the end of the Winter term. Please see the Academic Calendar for more information on the academic review process and the resulting Student Standings.

Current UCalgary students can apply for the Bachelor of Design in City Innovation (BDCI) program through the Change of Program (CoP) application via their Student Centre.

• A general description about this process can be found on the Change of Program page.
• The School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape accepts CoP applications for the Fall term only.
• The deadline to apply is February 1 of each application cycle.

Students in the BDCI program must also submit a CoP application to pursue the Architecture or Landscape Architecture Concentration. Please see below for more information. 

BDCI students interested in pursuing professional graduate degrees in architecture and landscape architecture at UCalgary can apply for admission into either the Architecture or Landscape Architecture Concentration in their second (or later) year.

To apply, submit a Change of Program application indicating either the Architecture or Landscape Architecture Concentration. These Concentrations are only eligible to students already in the BDCI program, and usually in the second year of the program. Eligible applications must meet the Concentration admission requirements for further consideration. Entrance into the Concentrations are on a competitive basis and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.

We encourage students to enroll in classes as soon as the registration period starts to take advantage of course reserve caps and avoid missing out on classes that fill up fast. Learn more on how to register and under "Video Resources" on the BDCI Degree Planning page.

Course Overload: If you register late, your class may already be full. Requests for a course overload are only considered for those who would experience significant delays in their current degree program. If you are eligible for an overload, please submit a request by the noted deadline.

Course Withdrawal: If you wish to drop a course (completed through the Student Centre) after the semester's drop deadline, it is considered a course withdrawal.

• Learn more about this process via the Academic Calendar description on course withdrawals.
• We recommend connecting with a SAPL advisor if you are considering a course withdrawal to learn more about its potential impact.

It is recommended that students check their degree progression regularly to ensure that they are meeting all program requirements to graduate successfully. The following are various resources that can help with reviewing your degree progression and graduation requirements:

• Academic Requirements report (via your Student Centre)

• Degree and graduation requirements on the Academic Calendar 

• BDCI program guides

• Graduation checklist

• Request a degree audit/graduation check (link coming soon!)

The University of Calgary's regulations on Leaves of Absence outlines the allowable time off a degree program. 

Undergraduate students may only take a leave of absence (i.e., not registered in any UCalgary courses during this time) for up to 12 months. This means that a student taking a leave of absence must be enrolled in a UCalgary course latest in the 13^th month. If the student does not have Faculty/School approval for a leave beyond 12 months, the student is discontinued from their program and must reapply for admission.

Are you planning on taking a leave of absence? Regardless of the period, please notify the School.
