On September 24 2009, Grant MacEwan College officially changed its name to Grant MacEwan
University. It’s only natural that MacEwan students have some questions about the impact of the
name change on their programs and life at the university in general. Here are a few of the most
frequently-asked questions:
q. If I am not enrolled in a degree program, will my certificate/diploma/post-diploma certificate still say
“Grant MacEwan University”?
a. Yes. Our name change will be reflected on all parchments.
q. I graduated from a MacEwan program before the name change. If I request a replacement parchment, will it say “Grant MacEwan University”?
a. Yes. However, when an alumnus requests a replacement they must return their original parchment to the university. Details for ordering replacement parchments are located at www.macewan.ca/registrar or you may inquire at the Office of the Registrar or at any Information Centre.
q. If I only take one course, will my results be on a transcript that says Grant MacEwan University?
a. Yes. Effective September 25, 2009, all MacEwan transcripts are issued under the institution’s new name.
q. Will diploma and certificate and other programs gradually be dropped?
a. No. Here’s why: under the Province of Alberta’s Post-secondary Learning Act, MacEwan is classified as a Baccalaureate and Applied Studies Institution. The legislation specifies that Baccalaureate and Applied Studies institutions must provide a full range of learning opportunities – from diplomas and certificates to applied degrees and baccalaureate degrees.
But let’s set aside the legal stuff for the moment – it’s much more important to us, and our students, that this mix of programming, allows us to create opportunities for students to bridge and ladder between programs. It’s all about maximizing student success, so rest assured – MacEwan will continue to offer a wide range of programming.
q. Will my tuition cost more now that MacEwan is a university?
a. No, tuition fees will not increase as a direct result of this name change. That said, tuition fees are not carved in stone.
Tuition fees—fees for instruction—are established and reviewed on an annual basis through the university’s approval process, in accordance with the provincial tuition fee legislation. So, fees may fluctuate, but again, not because we are now known as Grant MacEwan University.
q. What about class sizes? Are they going to be larger?
a. Small class sizes have always been an essential component of our program offerings, and that’s not going to change.
q. Will MacEwan offer graduate and post-graduate programs?
a. MacEwan has offered post-diploma and now post-degree certificates for students who want to combine their degree with career-specific skills; these programs are within the context of an undergraduate university. Traditional graduate degrees are not part of the university’s approved mandate.
