Admission Regulations

A. General Information

  1. Applicants may obtain information or application forms from the Admissions Office, University of New Brunswick, P.O. Box 4400, Fredericton, N.B. E3B 5A3 (call (506) 453-4865, or fax (506) 453-5016), or the Admissions Office, UNB Saint John, P.O. Box 5050, Saint John, NB E2L 4L5, (call (506) 648-5670, or fax (506) 648-5691). 

    Applicants are also encouraged to consult UNB's Home Page on the Internet (https://www.unb.ca) for up-to-date developments, including on-line application.

  2.  A student applying for entrance to the University of New Brunswick (UNB) must complete an application form and forward it to the Admissions Office together with the application processing fee of $55. A non-refundable tuition deposit of $100 is required from all applicants after they have been accepted excluding the Bachelor of Nursing program. Students admitted to the Bachelor of Nursing program must submit a non-refundable tuition deposit of $250.

  3.  The final date for application, including required supporting documentation, for the 2012-2013 session is 31 March 2013 (31 January for BEd programs). Applications received after that date may be considered, provided that space is available, but late applicants are cautioned that their applications will not be processed until the earlier applications are dealt with, and that they may not necessarily be accepted for the campus or Faculty of their choice. This closing date does not apply to applications for Graduate Studies. It is recommended that applications for programs with enrollment limits, i.e. Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, and Bachelor of Recreation and Sports Studies programs be submitted early.

  4.  Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to any program. It is strongly recommended that applications for programs with enrollment limits, i.e. Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Bachelor of Recreation and Sports Studies, and Bachelor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies programs be submitted early.

  5. Applicants for University scholarships must complete the Scholarships section of the application. 

  6.  Given the lead time required for processing visas, international students are encouraged to apply early. Offers of admission can be made throughout the year, until such time as competition are declared closed. 

  7. Students will normally follow the regulations in the Calendar for the year of their admission.

  8. The University reserves the right to refuse admission.
