Incomplete and late applications are not considered. Reminders will be sent to selected applicants in early April regarding missing reference forms or transcripts from files that are otherwise complete. A final date for resubmitting these will be given, after which any files with missing documents will be designated as incomplete and removed from consideration. Applications for admission are assessed once a year for first-time enrolment in September only. Each applicant is notified by mail during the first week of June of the Admission Committee's final recommendation to the University Registrar.
Acceptances are conditional to the receipt of final transcripts.
The Maritime School of Social Work has an affirmative action policy for residents of the three Maritime provinces who belong to regional Aboriginal, Acadian and indigenous Black populations, and for persons with disabilities. Applicants make their request in a place provided on the Personal Statement cover sheet , which is part of the BSW application package . The admissions prerequisites and selection criteria as outlined above, are otherwise the same for all candidates. The School is committed to admitting and graduating students who qualify under the affirmative action policy. Potential candidates who do not yet have the required five university credits can submit the BSW application material to the Admissions Committee for an assessment of their admissibility once they satisfactorily complete the required five credits.
