Aboriginal Admission Policy

Emily Carr is dedicated to providing access and support for all applicants and particularly under represented populations. The University has approved an Aboriginal Admissions Policy to encourage applications to the undergraduate program from Aboriginal individuals with an interest in pursuing studies in Art, Media or Design at the post-secondary level.

Emily Carr will consider Aboriginal applicants who do not meet the current academic standing required for admission to Foundation (first year) or on transfer. Applicants will be considered on an individual basis by assessing their educational background, cultural knowledge, work experience, academic goals, personal achievements and current portfolio.

Each applicant must submit two letters of reference from persons able to assess the potential for success at Emily Carr. The applicant must also submit a statement outlining their academic and artistic objectives and how they can be achieved by attending the University.

Each applicant applying under the Aboriginal Admissions Policy will be evaluated by the Aboriginal Admissions Committee. The committee will have the authority to select students for admission and determine if specific conditions are required. Such conditions can include but are not limited to: course load requirement, tutor support, writing centre consultation and peer mentoring.
