Scheduling your Fitness Test
You must schedule your fitness test through MacEwan University's Sport and Wellness. Testing is done on a first come, first served basis. We encourage you to take your test as early as possible. However, please make your arrangements after you have received an email from the admissions office with your student ID number.
Cancellations and appointment changes must be made at least 24 hours in advance, otherwise you will be charged for the session.
