The November 2025 diploma exams are now optional due to the ongoing strike. Choosing not to write will not affect post-secondary applications.
MacEwan Admissions is monitoring the situation closely. If admission requirements change, we’ll contact affected applicants directly.
For now, keep moving forward with your studies and applications. We’re here to support you and will ensure you have the necessary information.
Academic advisors are here to help you succeed. They work with you to understand your goals, answer your questions and connect you with the right information and resources so that you can make confident decisions about your future. Meet with us online or in person whenever you need support.

Understanding university language
Terms like “prerequisite,” “corequisite” or “academic standing” can be confusing at first. Your advisor can explain what each one means for you and how they affect your course choices, degree planning and progress toward graduation.
Accessing tools and resources
Advisors help you use tools like your Academic Program Progress Report (APPR) in myStudentSystem to plan courses, track your progress and stay organized. They also connect you with other university resources that support your academic goals.
Interpreting policies and procedures
From adding and dropping courses to academic standing and appeals, university policies support your academic success. Your advisor helps you understand and follow the policies and correct procedures so that you can avoid surprises and stay on track.
