International applicants should submit official matriculation certificates at least two months prior to the start of the semester to which they are seeking admission. Documents in a language other than English or French must be accompanied by notarized English translations. NOTE: English language proficiency requirements will apply to all applicants (see page 20).
TRANSFER STUDENTS Students applying for transfer from other universities or colleges are subject to Memorial’s Continuance and Readmission regulations. Accordingly, each student’s academic standing at other previous or current institutions must be considered. For this reason, official final transcripts from all other institutions attended must be submitted, regardless of whether transfer of credit is sought or expected. Applicants who wish to be considered for advanced standing or transfer credit must submit, in addition to the Application for Admission/Readmission, an Application for Transfer Credit Evaluation which can be obtained from the Office of the Registrar. Official transcript(s) and calendar descriptions and/or outlines of courses claimed for credit are also required and should be sent directly to Memorial University from the institution attended. In order to allow sufficient time for evaluation, these documents should be received at least two months prior to the commencement of the registration period for the semester to which the applicant is seeking admission.
CONCURRENT STUDIES Applicants in or about to enter their final year of high school in Newfoundland and Labrador with a superior academic record (i.e. normally an overall average of 85 per cent or above) may apply to enrol in university courses during their final year of high school. Applicants for concurrent studies must be enrolled in a high school and completing a slate of courses that meets the course requirements for general admission to the university. Applicants are required to submit a letter requesting enrolment in a specific course; an official high school transcript; and a letter from the high school principal or guidance counsellor clearly recommending admission for concurrent studies. Applicants must submit a completed Application for Admission/Readmission together with the appropriate fee. Eligibility to enrol is limited to one semester but may be renewed on the recommendation of the relevant admissions committee. Enrollment for concurrent studies students is normally limited to one course in a given semester. Fees and deadlines are the same as for regularly admitted students. University credit will be awarded after successful completion of the course(s) and successful completion of the requirements for full admission to the university.
