Have questions about your classes?

Find out who your advisor is for your program by visiting the website here. When contacting your advisor, be sure to provide your name, student ID and to be specific about what your questions are. If you are in Open Studies or University Entrance Option, please indicate which program you are wanting to get into in your initial email.

Wondering how many classes to take?

A full-time course load is three or more courses. Full-time status can impact student loans, grants, health benefits and other student benefits like the transit pass. Knowing how many classes to take entirely depends on your program, prerequisites, and other requirements. If you are considering taking less than five classes, make sure to go over your Program Planning Guide and speak with an Academic Advisor to ensure you are on track.

Not registered for classes?

You may need to meet with your Academic Advisor, as you can register for Fall 2024 and Winter 2025 right now. To find out what courses to take, select your program of study and read the Program Planning Guide specific to you. Some program planning guides may read, “You will not be able to register without meeting with an advisor.” If it states this, then you will need to set up a meeting with your advisor prior to registering for courses.

Need your course schedule?

Once you have registered, you can view your course schedule by completing the following steps:

• Go to MyMRU.ca

• Select "My Program" in the top blue ribbon (or by selecting it from the drop-down if you are on a small screen)

• Scroll down to “My courses” and click “My course schedule”

How often should I check my email?

It is recommended you start checking your emails twice a week or more as we get closer to the start of the Fall Semester. We send a lot of important information through emails, as it is our primary means of communication with new students. It is important to check and read your emails regularly.

How do I activate my MRU email?

Students receive their MRU email address in their offer letter to MRU, alongside instructions on how to activate your email. You can set-up your mtroyal email address using this guide below. 

When should I get my textbooks for class?

Our recommendation is that you check your professors' emails and course content to better know what textbooks to purchase and by when. If your class instructor has not posted any such content, do not worry! Often it is best to wait until the first class to get your textbooks as your professor will likely tell you what textbooks you need on the first day of class. 

Professors can:

• provide various suggestions on where to find the textbooks

• provide you with a free version of your textbook at times

• sometimes change their textbook list/requirements

What textbooks do I need to get?

If your professors have indicated in communication through emails and content posted on D2L that they would like you to purchase a textbook for their class, you can use this Campus Book Store resource to determine what textbooks you need for your classes. 

Your professors may also provide your list of textbooks to purchase through D2L communications in their course outline, so be sure to check such content before attending class.
