Advising

Academic Advising Services provides online advising tools for students admitted to Academic Upgrading, Open Studies and students who intend on switching programs to help with the academic planning process. You will be able to connect with an advisor once you have followed the steps below.

Before starting

Pay your tuition deposit to accept your offer of admission.

You will use MyMRU to register for your courses. Click here to learn how to activate your MyMRU account If you have difficulty with the activation process call MRU's IT Helpdesk at 403.440.6000.

What to expect

These online advising tools contain all of the information for you to understand how to register, and how to plan for another program . You will be able to check your registration with an advisor after completing the following:
First you will learn how to use the registration system - this will take up to 30 minutes.
Next you will complete a non-graded assessment on the usage of the registration system, if you have watched the videos this should only take 5 minutes.
Upon submitting the assessment you will be given a powerpoint presentation with notes to help you to plan your year. Plan on at least 30 minutes to watch and review this information
You will also be given a list of courses suitable for your current and intended programs.

What NOT to expect

An advisor will not help you register for classes - this is done on your own time.
An advisor will not choose your courses for you. We have provided tools for you to be able to find course descriptions so that you can decide which courses fit with your own interests and your intended program.
Individual appointments are not available until September. You will be able to attend a group session where an advisor will review the powerpoint information on applicant categories and competitive averages. We recognize that every student situation is unique. We are available by email to answer questions throughout the summer months. The advising email is advising@mtroyal.ca
Take notes while completing your tasks and make a list of questions to ask at the advising session.
Your schedule is not set in stone, it can be adjusted!
