Why should students apply early?
All applications received during early admission are reviewed equally as though they were received at the same time, meaning all academically and competitively qualified candidates will receive an offer of admission. Once early admission is over, applications are reviewed in the order they are received until a program is declared full. If your students wait too long to apply, their program of choice may not be available. Which programs have a Feb. 1 deadline? MRU's Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Midwifery, Bachelor of Interior Design and Bachelor of Education — Elementary have a Feb. 1 application and document deadline. Can they apply for more than one program? Yes! Students can add a second program to your MRU application for no extra cost.
