If you have previously applied to or enroled in Memorial University, please ensure you enter your MUN student number under “Program Information”. You can find this in Self-Service (if you were previously a student) or on a decision letter emailed to you (if you previously applied). This will ensure your application is processed quickly and accurately.
Please ensure you choose the right graduate program under “Program Information”. Normally, this cannot be changed after you submit your application online.
Please Graduate Programs and Routes (e.g., thesis, course, internship) for your program of interest under “Program Information”. Refer to the  document for details. Incorrect routes may lead to delays in the admission process. You can only be considered for a route available for your graduate program of interest.
If you are applying for a research program (e.g., one that requires a thesis), under “Program Information” please note the names of up to two faculty members you may be interested in working with. Please visit our website for more information on how to find potential supervisors.

You must provide the names and email addresses for your referees. You should let them know beforehand that Memorial will request letters of appraisal on your behalf. Please make sure the email address you enter is correct and one actively used by your referee.
Ensure that the “Statement of Interest” section is properly completed, as most academic units place considerable emphasis on this section. You’ll find a video tutorial on this at the bottom of this page.
Please complete the “Special Circumstances” section if there are any exceptional circumstances that may have had an impact on your past academic records.
Transcript(s) (Grad Transcript) and confirmation of degree (Grad Confirmation of Degree Awarded)
Transcripts should be uploaded to the online application after your application is submitted.
Memorial transcripts are not normally required. If your only transcript is a Memorial transcript, however, please upload an unofficial transcript. You can download this at no cost from Memorial Self-Service (under “Academic Information Menu”, then “Generate Unofficial Transcript PDF”).
If you are currently a Memorial University undergraduate student, please advise us when your degree requirements have been met or a degree has been conferred by contacting gradapply@mun.ca.
If your previous university will only release transcripts to other universities directly, please arrange for them to e-mail these to gradapply@mun.ca, after you submit your application.
