COVID-19 updates and resources
Welcome to Mount Royal University. Whether you are new to MRU or coming back — online or on campus — we’re committed to an exceptional post-secondary educational experience.

Your experience will be different, for sure, due to COVID-19. But what won’t be different is a caring campus community coming together — in person or virtually — to learn and work together.
We’re working to make it as easy as possible for you to get the information and support you need so you can reach your goals and stay healthy.
Whether you’re a student, faculty or staff member or a member of the public, this website will help you learn more about the year ahead.

Important updates
In fall 2020, the Office of Institutional Research and Planning surveyed students and employees to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on the campus community. View the aggregate findings here.
Spring/Summer 2021 classes
MRU will continue delivering most classes online during the Spring and Summer 2021 semesters, with some exceptions. Like past semesters delivered by alternative format, the list of on- and off-campus exceptions requiring in-person components will be posted by the Office of the Registrar in the first week of March.
Fall 2021 classes
Due to the changing nature of the pandemic, a decision has not been made yet regarding delivery for Fall 2021 semester. We hope to be able to communicate this to you by late April.
