3.2.1 Faculty of Social Work - Course Load


In the Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge BSW, the normal course load is 15 units in Fall and Winter.

In the Community-Based Learning Circles and Virtual Learning Circles BSW, the normal course load is 9 units in Fall and Winter.

All students are strongly encouraged to complete their Social Work 500 level courses during Spring and Summer.

Enrolling in more courses than the recommended load may represent substantial burden and could negatively impact overall performance. Students wishing to complete more than the normal load must receive permission from the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs. Permission will not be granted for the admission term.

Newly admitted students who do not register and attend the term to which they were admitted must reapply for admission and will be considered using the admission criteria in effect at the time of re-application.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
