What's Next Checklist

As a newly admitted student, we ask that you accept your offer of admission within 30 days to save your spot in your program. You must accept your offer prior to registering for courses. There is no tuition deposit required to accept your offer.

You can accept your offer in your student portal here.

If you are a high school student who has received a conditional acceptance to a program, you must still meet the final admission requirements for your program at the time of graduation.

Make sure to review the high school final requirements here.

All students have their own U of R email address! Your email is available a day after you accept your offer and it is where all official U of R communications are sent while you are a student.

As a new student, you will need to find your username and activate your account. Find more information about your U of R student accounts here.

Your education is an important investment, and there are financial supports available to help you cover the costs. The U of R offers many awards, scholarships, and bursaries to students. You can also apply for external awards and funding, and Government Student Financial Aid (student loans) from your home province.

Find out more about the different ways of funding your education here.

Make sure you have your Social Insurance Number (SIN) handy. You will need to provide this before you can register for classes.

If you don't yet have a SIN, make sure to apply well ahead of time to Service Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/sin/apply.html

High School Students

Don't forget! If you are finishing high school this year, we will need your final, official transcript showing your final grades before you start classes. If you are starting classes in September, the deadline to submit your final transcripts is August 1.

Review how to submit final official transcripts based on your province of study.

Post-Secondary Transfer Students

If you are currently completing classes at another post-secondary institution, your final official transcripts must be submitted after the courses are complete. Official transcripts must be sent directly from the post-secondary institution(s) to Enrolment Services by September 30. An English translation is required if the post-secondary transcript is not in English or French.

You can review document deadlines in our Application Guide.

New student orientation is the best way to kick-start your first term!

Check out upcoming Orientation activities and register here.

Your U of R Photo ID card provides access to campus services like the library and the fitness and lifestyle centre. It is also used as official identification for exams and security purposes. Photo ID cards are set up through the Registrar's Office.

Visit the Registrar's Office website for information on how to obtain your Student ID Card.
