In addition to the admission requirements of Mount Royal University, the Nursing program requires specific documents to be submitted prior to beginning the program (i.e. N95 Mask Fit testing, Immunization documentation/records, Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Search, etc.).

An admission package with specific program requirements will be sent to all newly admitted students.

Please note: To be considered current, the Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Search must be completed within 3 months prior to beginning the program.

Students who have been required to withdraw from the Bachelor of Nursing Program (RTWP) are eligible to apply for readmission to the program 12 months after the RTWP.
