(Wolfville,
NS) - Acadia University today launched
Access Acadia, a faster and easier admission and
registration process for prospective students, which includes a
comprehensive scholarship program.
This new initiative gives prospective Acadia students the
convenience of applying for earlier admission by self-reporting
grades on-line. Once an application has been made and grades have
been reported, students can receive a conditional offer of
acceptance in as little as three weeks. This offer of admission will
then be confirmed when final transcripts are received in June.
The Access Acadia program also offers prospective
students the opportunity to secure scholarships, along with their
residence rooms, and be registered for classes before they even
graduate from grade 12.
Applying early to Acadia University has its privileges. Acadia’s
Scholarships, Prizes and Awards Committee have designated over
$500,000 for early scholarship offers. Qualified students will
receive offers of scholarships along with their offers of admission
to the University.
Also new this year, as part of the Access Acadia
initiative, is the opportunity for admitted students to register for
their classes during Experience Acadia Days in March or starting on
March 21 if they are unable to be on campus. The ability to choose
classes earlier, helps first-year students complete the application
process and finalize their arrangements with Acadia before high
school graduation.
To take advantage of this quick and convenient admission process,
prospective students only need to visit Acadia’s specially developed
student portal at
http://4u.acadiau.ca. There, students can make an on-line
application, self-report grades, and pay application and
confirmation fees safely and quickly.
Acadia
University, in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, has long been recognized as
one of Canada’s premier undergraduate institutions. With its
nationally and internationally recognized research initiatives,
small class sizes and technology-rich teaching and learning
environment, Acadia offers students an experience that includes
academic achievement combined with personal growth and development.
