General Admission Requirements

General Information

Mount Royal University has a general admission policy which applies to most programs as well as specific admission requirements for each 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 primary or first language (meaning main language learned and used as a child) is not English. Program specific admission requirements can be found in the program section of this calendar See Academic Faculties .

The admission requirements in this section apply to admission to designated programs of study.

Students interested in enrolling in courses outside of a designated program of study may choose to apply for University Entrance Option or Open Studies - please see the Academic Faculties  section of this calendar for further information.

Mount Royal University also offers occupational diploma and certificate programs which are designed to prepare students for entry to practice in a specific career. See (name of section) for more information on these programs.

Admission to Mount Royal University is competitive and as such admission will be granted to those applicants who have the highest average based on the conditional admission criteria for each admission category. All high school and post-secondary transcripts are required regardless of the level attained.

For some programs, applicants may be required to participate in additional admission criteria - see Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties  section.

Admission Categories

There are three categories for admission to Mount Royal:

• High School Applicant
• Post-secondary Applicant
• Mature Applicant

The admission category that the applicant will be considered under will be determined by Mount Royal on the following basis:

1) High School Applicant

Applicants will be considered as a High School Applicant if they are currently in high school or have left or completed high school, but have not completed sufficient post-secondary courses to be considered in the post-secondary category. To be eligible for admission on the basis of high school, applicants must present five appropriate grade 12 subjects (or their equivalents) with no grade below 50%.

Conditional Admission - High School Applicant

The competitive admission average for conditional admission will be calculated based on the top two Group A courses. Equivalent postsecondary courses may be substituted for required high school subjects where appropriate. 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 additional admission criteria - see Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties  section of this calendar.

Final Admission − High School Applicant

Final admission will be 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 on the five appropriate grade 12 subjects and remain in good academic standing if they are currently enrolled in any post-secondary coursework. Official transcripts must include final grades for all subjects required by the program of study as indicated in the General Admission Requirements and the Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties section of this calendar and be received by August 1 for admission to the Fall Semester or by December 1 for admission to 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. 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 section of this calendar.

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.

Applicants will be considered as a Mature Applicant if they do not meet the High School Applicant requirements and have not completed sufficient courses to be considered as a Post-secondary Applicant 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 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 of study as indicated in the Admission Requirements for each program found in the Academic Faculties section of this calendar and to provide grade information required for consideration for conditional admission - see below.

Conditional Admission - Mature Applicant

The competitive admission average for conditional admission will be calculated based on the top two Group A courses.

Limitations on Enrolment

Enrolment in Mount Royal 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 of study at Mount Royal University have a fixed capacity on the number of students that may be admitted. 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 into the program. The deposit will apply toward tuition and fees for the semester to which the student is admitted. The balance of fees owing must be paid within the published timelines; see section entitled Fees and Deposits. 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 waitlists will be formed for some programs, if necessary, during the admission cycle. Applicants who are 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 if he or she wishes 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. Class capacity is limited in many disciplines; as a result, space in specific courses is assigned on a first come, first served basis. Delay in registering in a program of studies may result in the unavailability 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 a deferral, the applicant must accept the offer of admission and pay the Tuition Deposit, meet all conditions outlined to qualify for final admission for the initial offer of admission. The applicant will be required to meet any additional admission requirements that may have been implemented for the new semester of admission.

Applicants requesting a deferral must submit a Request for Admission Deferral Form by July 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 which explicitly states why the physical or psychology condition made it impossible to attend Mount Royal for the specified time period; or proof of participating in an exchange or volunteer program which has specific timeline attached.

If the admission deferral is approved, the applicant may not attend any post-secondary institution during the year of the deferred admission.

Police Information and Other Background Checks

Certain programs include periods of placement or observation experience with community institutions or agencies as part of the course requirements. Many of these institutions or agencies, either for statutory reasons (e.g. Protection for Persons in Care Act) or for policy reasons, require police information or other background checks from employees as well. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain, at the student’s expense, the necessary checks. Further information regarding these requirements will be provided to the affected students at the appropriate time.

In some circumstances, the checks will be provided by the student directly to the institution or agency. In other circumstances, the institution or agency will require Mount Royal to coordinate the submission of the checks for all students in a particular course or program. Where Mount Royal is involved in the process, the information will be retained in a separate file within the department and used only for the purposes of placing students at the applicable institutions or agencies. This process will be done in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. It is each institution’s or agency’s decision to accept or reject a student for placement or observation experience based upon the results of a police information or other background check. Since both completion of course requirements and eventual employment in a field of study may be dependent upon the results of such checks, students who have concerns should discuss the matter with the department chair or designate prior to applying for admission.

Police Information checks are normally obtained from the police department having jurisdiction where the student normally resides. For those who normally reside in the City of Calgary, the appropriate agency is the Calgary Police Service (calgary.ca/cps/Pages/Public-services/Police-information-checks.aspx). Outside Calgary, students should contact their local police agency. At the time of publication, the typical cost of a police information check was between $25 and $50.

Re-Admission to the Institution

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 Mount Royal 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
3. they have not taken courses outside of their program at Mount Royal University or attended another post-secondary institution in the interim.

The student’s application will be processed in the same time frame 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 Mount Royal Following Academic Disqualification or a Requirement to Withdraw

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

Applicants who have been Required to Withdraw from Mount Royal, or another post-secondary institution, for academic reasons may be considered for admission to their intended program of study, either on the basis of high school standing or mature standing, 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.

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 Mount Royal Following Academic Disqualification or a Requirement to Withdraw from a Specific Program

A student who has been Required to Withdraw from a specific program at Mount Royal 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 Mount Royal University or another post-secondary institution may apply and be considered for another program at MRU 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 as all other applicants.
