APEGGA Requirements

The practice of geology and geophysics in Alberta is governed by Provincial law and regulated by the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA). Members of the Rundle Group and the Geophysics Undergraduate Student Society (GUSS) are automatically student members of APEGGA.

In order to meet the requirements of professional registration, specific academic training and four years of appropriate full-time experience as a geologist- or geophysicist-in-training following graduation are needed.

The B.Sc. Major and Honours programs in Geology, Geology (Petroleum Geology Concentration), Applied and Environmental Geology, and Geophysics meet the current academic requirements for professional registration with APEGGA, if the appropriate science options are taken (see Notes under each of the perspective program links on the left).

To review the academic requirements for professional registration with APEGGA, please see the following documents:
