Mature Student Status
You can check on the Alberta Education website to find out if you are a Mature Student. Mature students are not required to have the prerequisites in order to take a course. Courses build upon themselves so it will be helpful to have the prerequisite courses but it is not mandatory.
Make sure to read Alberta Education’s website to make sure you have all the information you need for Academic upgrading if you are 20 or older.
