Admission Requirements

UPEI can’t wait to welcome you!

Admissions for many of our programs is competitive; please ensure you have read all of the program details. Often, the admissions team or committee is looking for qualifications beyond grades.

To ensure equity, we will not pre-evaluate your transcripts or other scores for admissibility. If you have questions about program pre-requisite course equivalencies, we are happy to help you.

Some UPEI programs have specific admission requirements; requirements for these programs are sorted by undergraduate, graduate, professional, and pre-professional programs.
