​ ​How to register for a course offered by a Maple League member institution?​

• Complete the following form and forward it to the Registrar's Office of your home institution.

• Pre-approval is mandatory. DO NOT assume the course will satisfy your degree requirements. Check with your academic advisor and/or Registrar's Office. Regulations around courses taken elsewhere may apply.

• Tuition for Fall and Winter Courses is paid to your home institution.

• Spring and Summer Course fess are paid to the host institution. Additional fees will be required.

​

Once you have downloaded the visiting student application form, you may print and fill out the form by hand or complete it electronically as a fillable PDF. (We recommend adding your name to the file name when you save the file as: “[LastName], [FirstName] Maple League Visiting Student Application”)

 

Submit the form by email to your home university’s Registrar’s Office. Your home university is the university where you are normally enrolled in an academic program.

 

Registrar’s Offices:

• Acadia: registrar@acadiau.ca

• Bishop’s: records@ubishops.ca

• Mount Allison: advisor@mta.ca

• St. Francis Xavier: registrar@stfx.ca

 

Your home university’s Registrar will coordinate submission of the form to the host university (the university offering the course). During the Fall and Winter semesters, tuition will be payable to the home university once your registration is confirmed.

 

Your academic advisor or program/department chair can answer questions about how your chosen course(s) will fit with your specific program and academic profile.

​

With respect to grades, for courses taken in the Fall and Winter semesters, the grades are sent directly to the Registrar at the appropriate institution for processing.  For Spring and Summer courses, students are responsible for having an official transcript sent to their home institution.

 

 If you have any other questions, please contact your home and host registrar.
