Application Details
Application Deadline:Acadia does not publish year-specific application deadlines: its live admissions pages state only that domestic and international undergraduate applicants may apply any time after September 21st, with March 1st as the priority date for entrance-scholarship consideration (decisions by mid-April); no year is attached to either date. Admission is otherwise rolling, with no separate international closing date published. The Bachelor of Education programme has its own cycle, opening October 1st, but as of September 2026 the page still shows the stale 2025-2026 cycle and no current-cycle date has been published.
