Welcome to the University Entrance Option at Mount Royal University!
Congratulations on your admission to Mount Royal University! In your year of University Entrance Option, you will be able to work with your Academic Advisor on a plan for admission to your intended program. It is important that you understand your academic plan and notify your advisor if your plans change throughout the year.
You will not be able to register in courses until you have attended an advising session.

Plan for a future program
Successful admission to Mount Royal programs involves meeting the admission requirements as well as presenting a competitive average for admission to that program
Meet Admission Requirements
- Every MRU program has a list of specific courses that are required for admission to that program. These requirements can be found on each program’s individual home page under Admission Requirements & Costs.
- If you are missing an admission requirement you will have until June 30, 2021, to complete it. We recommend completing upgrading courses for admission in the Winter semester.
Meet Competitive Average
- You must take a minimum of four credit courses in the Fall semester.
- Your competitive average will be based on the four most recently completed credit courses by December 31, 2020, for Fall 2021 admission.
Apply for your New Program
To be eligible for a new program for Fall 2021 at Mount Royal, you must apply during early admission (October 1 - February 1) and have completed at least four credit courses by April 30, 2021.
Choosing courses strategically
- You can take a maximum of 30 credits (generally 10 courses) in University Entrance Option. Credit classes are University level courses. Upgrading classes are non-credit and do not count toward the 30 credit maximum. Using your 30 credits wisely involves purposeful planning to increase your chances of future admission to a program.
- If you are missing admission requirements, register in these upgrading courses in your Winter and/or Spring semesters.
- Upgrading classes are non-credit and can be taken in addition to any credit courses.
Choosing credit classes
- To be a full-time student, you must take three 3-credit courses in a semester (9 credits per semester qualifies as full-time).
- Every degree at Mount Royal includes General Education (Gen Ed) courses. UEO students are encouraged to complete their Foundation Gen Ed requirements from all clusters in addition to any upgrading or admission requirements.
- Undergraduate studies UGST 1001 , UGST 1002 , UGST 1003 and UGST 1004 are courses designed to make you a better university student and can be used as an elective towards most programs.
- For course descriptions, please follow this link to the online Academic Calendar.
- Courses from your intended major can sometimes be difficult to get into, but if you can, go ahead! Have a look at the advising guide for the program you intend to take next year for a list of first-year classes in that major.
