Admission



General Admission Requirements

General Information

The Admission Requirements in this section apply to admission for ministerially-approved programs, however, standards and criteria for admission to a certificate, occupational, academic upgrading and ministerially-approved non-credit options may be established at the program level and can vary from the University standards and criteria for admission stated in this section.

The University has both a General Admission Policy as well as specific admission requirements for each undergraduate program. General Admission Requirements can be found in this section. In addition, all applicants must demonstrate English Language Proficiency for the purpose of admission if their First Language is not English (meaning primary language learned, used as a child and still understood). Program-specific admission requirements can be found in the program section of this calendar. See Academic Faculties & Programs .

Admission to Mount Royal University is competitive and as such, admission will be granted to those applicants who have the highest Competitive Admission Average based on the Conditional Admission criteria for each Admission Category indicated below.

Final, official transcripts are required from all high school and post-secondary institutions regardless of the level attained for all Admission Categories.

For some programs, applicants may be required to participate in Non-Academic Criteria. See Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties & Programs  section.

Admission Categories

There are three Admission Categories for admission to the University:

  • High School Admission Category
  • Post-secondary Admission Category
  • Mature Admission Category

The Admission Category that the applicant will be considered under will be determined by the University on the following basis:

1) High School Admission Category

Applicants will be considered in the High School Admission Category, if the applicant is currently in high school or has left or completed high school, but has not completed sufficient post-secondary courses to be considered in the Post-secondary Admission Category. Applicants must present five appropriate Grade 12 Subjects (or their equivalents) with no grade below 50%. Reporting of high school courses is required to ensure successful completion of the specific high school course requirements for the applicant’s program of study as indicated in the Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties & Programs  section of this calendar and to provide grade information required for consideration for Conditional Admission - see below.

Conditional Admission 

The Competitive Admission Average for Conditional Admission will be calculated on the two highest self-reported or final grades (as determined by the University) from the list of Grade 12 Subjects in Group A. Verification of self-reported grades (where permitted) may be required. Equivalent post-secondary courses may be substituted for required high school Subjects. Post-secondary courses used for admission to a program may also be applied to program graduation requirements, depending on the applicability of the course to the curriculum, the standard of performance achieved and the time limits of the program.

For some programs, applicants may be required to participate in Non-Academic Criteria. See Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties & Programs  section of this calendar.

Final Admission 

Final admission is based on verification of admissibility once all final, official transcripts, including all previous high school and post-secondary coursework, have been received and reviewed and all conditions of the applicant’s admission have been met. Unless a specific (higher) admission average is required as indicated in the Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties section of this calendar, high school applicants are required to have an overall admission average of 65% for degree programs and 60% for diploma programs and appropriate non-credential offerings on five appropriate Grade 12 Subjects and remain in good academic standing if currently enrolled in any post-secondary coursework. Official transcripts must include final grades for all Subjects required by the program as indicated in the General Admission Requirements and the Admission Requirements for each program and be received by August 1 for admission to the Fall Semester or by December 1 for admission to the Winter Semester.

2) Post-secondary Admission Category

Courses presented for admission must be from a recognized post-secondary institution and must be transferable courses as determined by the University. Applicants will be considered in the Post-secondary Admission Category, if they have completed four post-secondary courses (minimum 12 credit hours) by December 31 and will have completed eight post-secondary courses (minimum 24 credit hours) by June 30 for admission to the Fall Semester or will have completed eight post-secondary courses (minimum 24 credit hours) by August 31 for admission to the Winter Semester. 

Conditional Admission

The Competitive Admission Average for Conditional Admission will be calculated based on the four most recently completed courses (minimum 12 credit hours) by December 31 for the Fall Semester or the eight most recently completed courses (minimum of 24 credit hours) by August 31 for the Winter Semester. Official transcripts showing all post-secondary courses completed by these dates are required to be considered for Conditional Admission. Post-secondary courses used for admission to a program may also be applied to program graduation requirements, depending on the applicability of the course to the curriculum, the standard of performance achieved and the time limits of the program.

All final, official high school transcripts are also required by Mount Royal University. Reporting of high school grades is required to ensure successful completion of the specific high school course requirements for the applicant’s program of study as indicated in the Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties & Programs  section of this calendar. Equivalent post-secondary courses may be substituted for required high school subjects.

For some programs applicants may be required to participate in Non-academic Criteria. See Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties & Programs  section of this calendar.

Note: Students who have been Required to Withdraw from another Post-secondary institution for academic reasons should refer to (Re)-Admission to the University following a Requirement to Withdraw.

Final Admission

Final admission is based on verification of admissibility once all final, official transcripts, including all previous high school and post-secondary coursework, have been received and reviewed and all conditions of the applicant’s admission have been met. Unless a specific (higher) admission average is required as indicated in the Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties & Programs  section of this calendar, post-secondary applicants are required to have a minimum of 2.00 Grade Point Average (GPA) on the eight most recently completed post-secondary courses (minimum 24 credit hours).

Official transcripts must include final grades for all Subjects required by the program as indicated in the General Admission Requirements and the Admission Requirements for each program and be received by August 1 for admission to the Fall Semester or by December 1 for admission to the Winter Semester.

3) Mature Admission Category

Applicants will be considered in the Mature Admission Category if they do not meet the requirements associated with the High School Admission Category and have not completed sufficient courses to be considered in the Post-secondary Admission Category, and are 21 years of age by September 1 for the Fall Semester or January 1 for the Winter Semester to which they are applying. All official high school and post-secondary transcripts are required regardless of the level attained. Reporting of high school courses is required to ensure successful completion of the specific high school course requirements for the applicant’s program as indicated in the Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties & Programs  section of this calendar and to provide grade information required for consideration for Conditional Admission.

Conditional Admission

The Competitive Admission Average for Conditional Admission will be calculated on the two highest final grades from the list of Grade 12 Subjects in Group A. Equivalent post-secondary courses may be substituted for required high school subjects. Post-secondary courses used for admission to a program may also be applied to program graduation requirements, depending on the applicability of the course to the curriculum, the standard of performance achieved and the time limits of the program. 

For some programs, applicants may be required to participate in Non-academic Criteria - see Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties & Programs  section of this calendar.

Final Admission 

Final admission is based on verification of admissibility once all final, official transcripts, including all previous high school and post-secondary coursework, have been received and reviewed and all conditions of the applicant’s admission have been met. Mature applicants are required to remain in good standing if currently enrolled in any post-secondary coursework.

Official transcripts must include final grades for all Subjects required by the program as indicated in the General Admission Requirements and the Admission Requirements for each program and be received by August 1 for admission to the Fall Semester or by December 1 for admission to the Winter Semester.

Repeated Courses

When an applicant presents the same course with more than one grade (i.e. the course has been repeated), the higher grade shall be used for evaluating admissibility in all Admission Categories.
 

Admission to Non-Credential Offerings

University Entrance Option

University Entrance Option is intended for students who wish to pursue a baccalaureate degree or diploma but do not currently meet the Admission Requirements and/or Competitive Admission Average for their intended program. Admission is competitive and applicants are required to meet specific course and grade requirements. Applicants will be considered in the High School or Mature Admission Categories only.

Limitations on Enrolment

Enrolment in University programs and courses is limited to the number of students who can be accommodated within available resources while maintaining quality of education. As a result, all programs have a fixed capacity. All students who are issued a letter of acceptance will be required to pay a $425 non-refundable Tuition Deposit by the specific date indicated in their (conditional) offer of admission. The deposit will apply toward tuition and fees for the semester to which the student is admitted. An offer of admission is valid only for the semester indicated on the offer letter. Failure to pay the Tuition Deposit by the required date will result in cancellation of acceptance and the vacancy created will be offered to another qualified applicant.

Program admission waitlists will be formed where required. Applicants whose name is placed on a waitlist may be notified at any point in the admission cycle if a space in the program becomes available. If the applicant does not gain admission by the first day of classes for the semester to which he or she has applied, the waitlist will not be carried forward to the next semester and the applicant must reapply to be considered in a subsequent semester.

Registration in specific courses is subject to the availability of those courses at the time the student registers. Delay in registering in a program may result in limited availability of some or all courses.

Admission Deferral

Applicants offered admission into an undergraduate credit program may request a deferral for up to one year. To be eligible for consideration for a deferral, the applicant must:

  1. Accept the offer of admission and pay the Tuition Deposit.
  2. Meet Final Admission criteria for the initial admission offer.
  3. Meet any Admission Requirements that may have been implemented for the new semester of admission.
  4. Submit the Request for Admission Deferral Form by August 15 for the Fall Semester or by December 15 for the Winter Semester outlining the reasons for the request and including the appropriate supporting documentation such as: 
  • a doctor’s letter that explicitly states that a physical or psychological condition makes it impossible to attend the University for the specified time period;
  • proof of intended participation in an exchange or volunteer program with clear required timelines; or
  • Proof of study permit delay (but not denial) including proof of timely submission of a completed application for a study permit to study in Canada.

If the admission deferral is approved, the applicant may not attend any high school or post-secondary institution during the period of the deferred admission. The University has the right to refuse any request and there is no appeal process. 

Re-Admission to the University

Students are permitted to interrupt their studies for a maximum of six consecutive semesters (including the Spring and Summer semesters) and return to the same program of study. Students who have interrupted their studies for a longer period of time must apply for admission to a semester which has an intake for their program (normally Fall Semester), complete the application procedures in accordance with the application timelines, pay the non-refundable application processing fee, and be admitted upon each return. To qualify for graduation status, re-admitted students must fulfill the graduation requirements in effect at the time of their re-admission.

Re-Admission Following an Interruption of Program of Studies

Students who have interrupted their program for longer than the allowable period and wish to return to the same program will be required to reapply for admission and meet the current admission requirements in place for that program but will not be required to meet the competitive admission average if:

  1. they apply during Early Admission;
  2. there is space available in the program to which they are seeking re-admission; and
  3. they have not taken courses outside of their program at the University or attended another post-secondary institution in the interim.

The student’s application will be processed in the same timeframe using the standard admission processes. A student re-admitted to the program is governed by the program requirements in effect at the time of the most recent admission.

Re-Admission to the University following a Requirement to Withdraw

A student who has been Required to Withdraw from the University, or any other post-secondary institution, will not be admitted to the University until at least a 12-month period has elapsed since the student was Required to Withdraw.

Applicants who have been Required to Withdraw from the University, or another post-secondary institution, for academic reasons may be considered for admission to their intended program through the High School Admission Category or Mature Admission Category, after a 12-month period has elapsed unless they have completed four or more additional post-secondary courses by December 31 for the following Fall Semester or by August 31 for the following Winter Semester, in which case they will be considered under the Post-secondary Admission Category.

A student may register in non-credit academic upgrading courses, during the 12-month waiting period. Students who have been Required to Withdraw must apply for re-admission in accordance with re-admission procedures.

Re-Admission to the University following a Requirement to Withdraw from a Specific Program

A student who has been Required to Withdraw from a specific program at the University, will not be re-admitted to that same program until at least a 12-month period has elapsed since the student was Required to Withdraw. A student will only be considered for re-admission to the same program where program requirements allow it.

A student who has been Required to Withdraw from a specific program at the University or another post-secondary institution may apply and be considered for an alternate program without serving the 12-month waiting period. A student applying for admission under these circumstances will be considered for admission under the same Admission Categories and timelines as all other applicants.
