The Diploma in Adult Learning and Post-Secondary Education explores practices, principles, and theories in the field of adult learning. This diploma program is designed to prepare graduates for instructional and professional roles in adult education settings such as community agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and community development programs.
In addition to meeting University Regulations (Undergraduate), an applicant must meet the Admission/Readmission Regulations for the Faculty of Education below and the Admission/Readmission Regulations for the program of admission/readmission.
Admission to degree and diploma programs within the Faculty of Education is limited, selective and highly competitive. Meeting minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance to a program. The Faculty reserves the right to limit the number of spaces available in each program. When the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of spaces available in a particular program, preference may be given to applicants who are permanent residents of Newfoundland and Labrador.
At least three positions per year are available in Education programs for applicants of Indigenous ancestry who have met the admission requirements. Applicants must submit a letter of request with the Faculty application and provide documentation of Indigenous ancestry.
The application for admission or readmission to programs offered by the Faculty of Education is submitted online. The application for admission or readmission to the University is submitted online. Transcripts from institutions other than Memorial University of Newfoundland and any other supporting documents required must be sent to the Office of the Registrar in accordance with the deadlines specified for each program in the Application Deadline Dates table below. Applications received later than the stated deadline dates will be processed as time and resources permit.
Admission to programs within the Faculty of Education is determined by the Admissions Committee and is based on the criteria listed for each degree/diploma program. An applicant who is completing courses at this or another institution and for whom final and complete transcripts are not yet available may be granted provisional acceptance to the program to which the applicant is applying pending the receipt of final transcripts. This provisional acceptance will remain valid until final transcripts are received. Deadline for receipt of final transcripts is June 15th. A provisionally accepted applicant may be granted a final acceptance upon review of the final transcript by the Admissions Committee. The Faculty reserves the right to deny admission to an applicant who, in the opinion of the Admissions Committee, is deemed unsuitable for admission to a program.
Readmission to programs within the Faculty of Education is determined by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies except in cases where the withdrawal of a student was the result of a Committee on Undergraduate Studies decision in which case Executive Committee of Faculty Council will assess the application for readmission.
A student who has been admitted to a program in the Faculty of Education requiring a teaching internship is advised that the student may be assigned to any Provincial school district and is responsible for all travel and accommodation costs associated therewith.
A student who has been admitted to a particular degree program offered by the Faculty of Education and who wishes to change to another degree program within the Faculty must submit a new Faculty application online that will be considered in competition with other applicants.
In special circumstances, the Admissions Committee may, at its discretion, consider an applicant or group of applicants as an exception to the requirements.
