Admission Requirements: This page defers to Memorial's general admission requirements for direct entry into the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (Bachelor of Arts) or the Faculty of Science (Bachelor of Science), without restating them here. For the BA route, Memorial's own general admission page sets a Canadian high-school average of at least 70% across the required senior-level (Grade 12) subjects; the BSc route additionally requires appropriate Grade 12 mathematics and a laboratory science among those subjects. International qualifications are assessed against Memorial's separate curriculum- and country-specific tables. The page states no separate English-language-test score; Memorial's university-wide requirement applies to applicants whose first language is not English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0 in Reading/Writing) or TOEFL iBT 83 overall with at least 20 in Reading and Writing. Deadlines are March 1 (Fall), October 1 (Winter) and February 1 (Spring), with rolling review.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:Memorial University's undergraduate application system opens one year ahead of each semester for the 2027 cycle: for Fall 2027 entry the portal opens 10 September 2026, the priority deadline (also the early-entrance-scholarship deadline) is 1 March 2027, the document deadline is 20 August 2027, and applications finally close 9 September 2027; Winter 2027 entry has a priority deadline of 1 October 2026 and closes 6 January 2027; Spring 2027 entry closes 11 May 2027 with a priority date of 1 February 2027. International applicants use the same direct application to Memorial and are only advised to apply at least 12 weeks before their intended semester starts; no fixed international closing date is published. Late domestic applications are still considered as time, resources and space permit, so admission is effectively rolling past the priority date up to the final close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
