Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires a minimum 70% average across English Language Arts A30, English Language Arts B30, two further approved 30-level Math, Science, Language, or Social Science courses, and one additional approved 30-level course. Applicants apply through University of Regina Admissions and select First Nations University of Canada as their college. Related offerings on the same page carry their own deadlines — the Indigenous Language Reclamation Programs close September 1 and the First Nations Language Instructor Certificate closes August 1 — but the page does not confirm either as this specific program's intake, so no start date is recorded here. The programme page states no English-language test scores; international applicants are instead referred to the University of Regina International Office for English-proficiency requirements, and neither the programme page nor FNUniv's international-students page publishes a specific test or score.
