We are happy to speak to you by telephone (506-858-8970) or through e-mail, education.admissions@crandallu.ca, to answer questions you may have before submitting your application.

You should describe in detail your experiences dealing with children, as well as your reasons for wanting to become a teacher. In this section you will need to provide information to the Committee that indicates those background experiences and factors that have led you to this place in your life and how teaching came into focus. Length should be no more than three pages.

Reference letters which state that the applicant is very qualified to pursue teaching and specify relevant skills and attributes observed by the author to warrant that conclusion are most helpful. Observations should be based on the author’s first-hand knowledge of the applicant. Reference letters that are authored by an individual possessing thorough knowledge and understanding of the skills and attributes required to be an effective teacher are often most valuable.

Official copies of all post-secondary transcripts must be submitted and sent from the host institution directly to the Education Admissions Office. Faxed or downloaded versions will not be accepted. Crandall University students do not need to submit Crandall transcripts, as they are already on record.

Yes. The Criminal Record Information must also include a vulnerable sector check. You will be able to obtain this through your local RCMP detachment or local police force.

Yes. Experience working with children is required of all applicants. Experience in a public school setting is highly recommended, though we will also consider private school, summer camp, or other work with groups of children for this experience. Babysitting and tutoring are generally not strong indicators of work with children.

The admissions process for the Bachelor of Education occurs in two phases. Phase 1 consists of an initial screening of all applicants. Phase 2 consists of an interview with the Education Admissions Committee. Telephone interviews may be arranged for those applicants who are overseas during the interview period.

In exceptional circumstances, admission may be deferred for one academic year.
