registration information GENERAL INFORMATION Registration is the process of formally recording the enrolment of a student in a course or courses. Registration requires agreement by the student to be bound by the rules and regulations of the University, accepting that these may be amended from time to time. Only a student who has been admitted or re-admitted or who is continuing from one semester to the next and whose transcript of record indicates eligibility to continue may register in credit courses. The Office of the Registrar may adjust or cancel any course registrations for which the stated prerequisites are not satisfied or for non-payment of fees/ tuition. Consult the Course Prerequisite Requirements found within the section How to Register.
Student Responsibility
Students are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of their course registration. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that courses selected are appropriate and meet program/graduation requirements. Academic advisors are available to assist students in the selection of their courses. Students are expected to adhere to all critical dates and deadlines as outlined in the Academic Schedule.
Registration Dates
Students must register according to the registration timelines outlined in the Academic Schedule section of the University calendar. Dates are subject to change. Contact the Office of the Registrar in person or visit the Mount Royal University website (mtroyal.ca) for current information on registration. Applications for admission should be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar well in advance of the registration period.
Availability of Courses
Registration in specific courses is subject to the availability of those courses at the time the student registers.
HOW TO REGISTER Students may register online by accessing MyMRU on the Mount Royal University website (mtroyal.ca). Refer to Online Registration Instructions for more information regarding online registration. In person registration assistance is also available at the Office of the Registrar. Consult the Mount Royal University website for more detailed instructions on registration. Students experiencing difficulty with MyMRU may contact the Registration Help Line at 403.440.3303 or toll free at 1.877.676.0686.
New Students
Those students who wish to register in any given semester must follow the procedures outlined in the Admissions section of this calendar. Academic advisors are available and may be consulted by students when planning a program prior to registering in courses. Students in some undergraduate programs must consult with an Academic advisor before they will be permitted to register in courses. Those students who are not admitted to a defined program of study may consider Open Studies, University Entrance Option or Unclassified as alternatives.

Continuing Students
Continuing students may register according to the dates posted on MyMRU on the Mount Royal University website (mtroyal.ca) prior to the start of the registration cycle for each semester. Students in some undergraduate programs must consult with an academic advisor before they will be permitted to register in courses.
Interruption of Study
Students who have interrupted their studies for a short duration (typically less than twelve months) will be eligible to reactivate their student record, and subsequently register for classes, provided they are continuing in the same program. Students who have interrupted their studies for longer periods, or are changing programs, are required to re-apply for admission. Visit mtroyal.ca/AcademicSupport/StudentRegistrationRecords/ CreditRegistration/ready.htm to see if you are eligible for reactivation.
Course Prerequisite Requirements
Prerequisites for each course are listed in the course description section of the University calendar and online. It is the responsibility of the student to de-register themselves from any course(s) for which they do not satisfy the prerequisite. Failure to do so may result in institution initiated deregistration from that course(s). If a prerequisite has been completed in high school and/or at a previous post-secondary institution(s), it is the student’s responsibility to submit an official transcript(s) which must be received in accordance with the deadlines outlined in the Academic Schedule.
Course Waitlists
If requested classes are full and there are no alternative sections available, students can place themselves on a waitlist for a class. Students will be registered in courses in the order in which they waitlisted if space becomes available. There is no guarantee that a student will receive a seat in the desired course regardless of their position on the waitlist. Students may only waitlist for one section per course. It is the responsibility of each student to check MyMRU (mtroyal.ca) to confirm whether he or she has been registered in a class for which he or she was initially waitlisted. Three weeks prior to the start of each semester the option to waitlist will no longer be available and all pre-established waitlists will be terminated. After waitlists are terminated, and up to the end of the registration adjustment (Add/Drop) period, students can only register in courses with available seats. Students are not permitted to attend any classes in which they are not registered. It is the responsibility of each student to begin attending those classes for which he or she is shown as registered. Students who are added to a class from a waitlist, but who subsequently decide that they do not wish to attend that particular course must drop it from their timetable by making a registration adjustment within the deadline dates specified in the Academic Schedule. Students who do not officially cancel or drop a course to which they have been added from a waitlist will be considered as registered in that course and will be charged full fees for that course whether they subsequently attend classes or not.
