UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA
FACULTY OF LAW
SUPPLEMENTAL ADMISSIONS FORM
NAME: U of A ID #
Candidates are reminded of the following provisions in regards to admissibility to the Faculty of Law at the University of Alberta:
The GPA is determined by reference to the applicant’s most recent 60 units of study in university credit courses, provided those units of
course weight are completed by February 1 in the year in which admission is sought. The GPA and the LSAT will be used to create a
Prediction Indicator to rank the regular Applicants. In their assessment of the Prediction Indicator, the Committee may take into account
exceptional circumstances that adversely affected particular grades or overall academic performance and/or LSAT score(s), but do not pose
an ongoing issue in terms of the Applicant’s ability to succeed in law school.
In a limited number of cases, the Committee may consider a broader range of factors beyond the Prediction Indicator, including the difficulty
and quality of the pre-law academic course work, employment experience, extra-curricular and community activities, physical and cultural
factors and economic disadvantage in order to distinguish between Applicants with similar or identical Prediction Indicators.
Please provide the following information to assist the Admissions Committee (the Committee) in evaluating your academic record, and in
assessing your ability to succeed in the Law School and to make a positive contribution to the Law and the legal profession. Supporting
documentation should also be provided where appropriate (e.g., medical documentation, financial concerns).
Please answer in the space provided.
Please type or print legibly.
Please restrict your answers to this form alone.
We will not accept answers submitted in any other format.
Please ensure that your name & ID# (not your application number) is printed in the space provided at the top of this form.
Personal statements, résumés & letters of reference will not be accepted in support of regular applicants, but are required in
