Confirmation of Registration
During and after each registration session, students may confirm their course registration status by accessing MyMRU on the Mount Royal University website (mtroyal.ca). It is the responsibility of the student to notify the Office of the Registrar of any discrepancy in their course registration status and to arrange for correction where appropriate. If a student stops attending a course for which he or she is officially registered and does not take proper cancellation or withdrawal action, she or he will be awarded a grade appropriate to their performance in the course. The University does not automatically cancel or withdraw those students who cease to attend classes and fail to follow appropriate cancellation or withdrawal procedures.
Audit Students
Auditors are students who have been granted permission in writing by a professor to attend lectures in a course on the understanding that they may not participate in assignments or examinations. Such permission will be contingent upon seats in the course being available. Once she or he has registered to audit a course, a student may not change to credit, nor will the student who has registered for credit in a course be permitted to change to audit. Audit courses will be reflected on the student’s permanent record with the symbol “AU”. The student may, in succeeding semesters, take any course for credit, which has previously been audited. Auditors must present a signed Registration form to the Office of the Registrar. Final permission to audit a course cannot be given until the day after the registration adjustment (Add/Drop) period, when the space available in a course is known. Requests for permission to audit must be received by the end of the fourth week of classes in any semester. See the Fees and Deposits section for auditing fees.
Unclassified Students
An unclassified student is one who elects to take a single course and has not been admitted to a degree, diploma, or certificate program; Open Studies; or University Entrance Option. A student who has been admitted to an undergraduate program, Open Studies or University Entrance Option cannot register as an unclassified student.
Mount Royal Campus Card
The Mount Royal Campus Card is the official identification card for students and employees at Mount Royal University. The information contained on your card includes your name, student/employee identification number, and your photo. It will be necessary to have this card with you to access a variety of University departments such as the Library, Recreation and computer labs (You will have to meet eligibility requirements at these locations). Once you have been issued a Campus Card it’s yours for life. You don’t need a replacement card when you enroll in a new semester. To validate your card, pick up a new validation sticker available from the Campus Card (E251) office a couple of weeks prior to the start of any semester. Students and employees must provide their Mount Royal Campus Card at Security Services (X200) to access Mount Royal University after 10 p.m.

Students wishing to register for a course as an unclassified student should fill out an application form and present it, in person, at the Office of the Registrar between the first day of the month that classes begin in a given semester (September 1, January 2, May 1 or June 1) and the last day of the Add/Drop period.

As a result of WCB coverage, students may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits in the event of an accident. However, if covered, they do not have the right to sue the employer or the institution. Any student that has an accident related to their student activities while on Campus or at an authorized site must report the accident to their supervisor/ professor and to Campus Security as soon as possible. If necessary, WCB claim forms may have to be completed and filed with the University’s Occupational Health and Safety Coordinator.
WCB Coverage for Student Work Experience Outside of Alberta
WCB-Alberta may extend coverage to students working outside of Alberta if the conditions of Section 28(1) of the Alberta Workers’ Compensation Act are met. A link to the WCB legislation is found at wcb.ab.ca/public/policy/ legislation.asp. If you are uncertain if you qualify for WCB coverage while on a practicum or DFS outside the province, check with your supervisor or practicum/ DFS coordinator. A WCB fact sheet on Student Coverage is available at wcb.ab.ca/pdfs/workers/WFS_Student_coverage.pdf.

Registration
An unclassified student may take one course per semester. Unclassified ‘status’ is only valid for one term. Unclassified students are not eligible for scholarships, bursaries, or awards through MRU or any part-time government funding. Unclassified students do not have access to MRU advising services.
The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is a federally legislated program, which ensures that all persons working with, or in proximity to, chemicals and other defined hazardous materials have access to information about hazardous materials in their workplace. All students registered in courses involving work with chemicals and other defined hazardous materials are required to attend a WHMIS training session at the beginning of each semester. The University reserves the right to withdraw students from those courses requiring this training if students have not completed the training session or cannot produce evidence of having completed comparable WHMIS training in the previous 12-month period.
