Does University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine require Casper?
Not on Acuity's list
As of October 7, 2026, University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine is not among the medical schools that Acuity Insights lists as using Casper for the 2026–2027 admissions cycle, and it was not on the 2025–2026 list either.

What that means if you are applying
Acuity sends Casper scores only to the programs on its list, so a school that is not listed does not receive them. You would still need Casper if another program you apply to in the same cycle requires it.
