Our old Admission Questions post is a bit outdated and has some broken links, so I think it's time for an update!

If you have program-specific questions, I've added the latest admission posts from this subreddit and categorized them by Major. If you still need help or have any unanswered questions, add them as a comment to this post.

Question Loans / Grants

8 Upvotes

I received my grants today which were automatically deposited into my bank account. However when I check my fees for mymru, it still shows that I have to pay the semester tuition , even though I had been approved for loans.

Is this stuff just moving slower this year around, but previous years I would get an email by early August letting me know how much exact tuition was getting paid for by my loans.

Question How do I know which courses go towards my GNED or Elective requirement?

Post image
Upvotes

Basically the title. I'm in my second year of English and, to my knowledge, I have completed 4/10 GNEDS required as per my degree requirements. I'm trying to get some electives out of the way this year, but I've noticed on schedule builder that all courses im taking have a section under them saying "course attribute, GNED cluster....". Even the course I intended to be my elective has this. What does this mean? Does a course need to have a GNED prefix for it to fulfill a GNED requirement or is there something I'm not sure of? This is 100% a question I would be asking my advisor but they haven't responded to my appointment request I sent in September 2025, and I think I might like femboys. Thanks.

Question B.Ed Elementary competitive average?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply to the Bachelor of Education - Elementary program at MRU.

I know the website lists the competitive average range around the mid-80s to 90s, but from what I’ve read online, it seems like the actual cutoff might be even higher.

For those who got accepted recently (or if you know someone who did), could you share what average (based on your top 2 Group A courses) got you in?

Any insights would be super helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Question Course Registration Waitlists

1 Upvotes

For anyone else, have you noticed that despite the fall tuition payment deadline passing and us being unable to add ourselves to waitlists since, the waitlists are still considered active for those who are on them instead of totally dissolved like they usually are, meaning we can’t do the usual free-for-all for courses? Anyone know when might they clear them this time around?

i’m starting nursing at MRU and i might not be able to make it to orientation on the first day because of some personal stuff.

For anyone who has gone before, is it actually that important/helpful?? Like did they go over anything really important that I’d miss by not going? if anyone remembers what they went over, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know 😭

Question getting in a full class when classes start

How likely am I to get into Stasha Huntingford’s GNED 1303 if the class is already full? Do people usually drop before the semester starts or is it unlikely?

Question Dropping from 5 to 4 courses w/ student loans

2 Upvotes

I’m currently registered in 5 courses for Fall. My student loans/grants are approved and being issued on Sept 1.
If I drop one class before the Sept 14 deadline and change my schedule down to 4 courses, what do I need to do?
Since the government is already sending the money for 5 classes tomorrow, how do I get the refund for the dropped class? Do I just fill out the MRU Course Load Change form?

Question random class drop

Question Fall GNED prof/course questions - 1202, 1403, 1303

2 Upvotes

Anyone taken these MRU GNEDs with these profs?

  • GNED 1202 – Jared Secord: Is this the board game class like his 1201? Any midterm or final?
  • GNED 1404 – Ashley: I heard it's writing-heavy. Any midterm/final or just assignments?
  • GNED 1303 – Stasha Huntingford: Is it still no midterm/final with quizzes, journals, and a group project?

Trying to build a high-GPA semester, so I'd love to hear your experience!

Question gned 1303 with jennifer solinas vs ally king

3 Upvotes

there weren’t enough rate my professor reviews for professor ally king to decide between the two and i was wondering if anyone had any input on her that they’d be willing to share 🫶

i struggle with taking afternoon classes as my focus tends to die down and so that’s the main reason as to why i’m leaning more towards prof king. however, i’m wondering if it’s worth staying with solinas considering she has a lot of great reviews. solinas curriculum includes a group project worth 50% and apparently you aren’t able to choose your group mates. as an open studies student, my gpa for this fall semester is incredibly important so i’m a little worried.

will likely try looking at other professors as well if spots open up but so far a lot of the classes are full 💔
