Getting Ready

Hi! My name is Sitwat, and I am the Student Experience Navigator at Grenfell Campus for summer 2025. Not only am I a dedicated student going into my last year in Psychology, but I am also a Resident Assistant with student housing, a student assistant at the Ferriss Hodgett Library, an EAL Discussion Leader and the CRO for the GCSU. I moved all the way from the Philippines to pursue my Bachelor’s degree here at Grenfell. Having to overcome such a huge transition —travelling from one part of the globe to another, gave me experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. No matter if you came from 6000 or 600 miles away, transitioning into university will always feel scary and strange — and that’s what I’ll be here for! I will be here to provide the support and guidance needed to make it feel as reassuring as possible. I believe in you so you should believe in you, too!

MUN Safe is an app that lets MUN University students, staff, faculty and visitors quickly access campus resources 24/7 such as emergency push notifications, emergency procedures, incident reporting and more. The MUN Safe app is your direct line to a safer Memorial University.

 

 

Move-in days are typically the Sunday and Monday prior to the first day of classes. A list of items to bring to residence as well as other important information will be sent to your email that you used to apply to housing. If you are registered for Academic Prep Week for Fall 2025 and already have an assigned room at residence, you can move into housing early, with additional fees. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your on-campus accommodations, please email the student housing office at gchousing@mun.ca or call them at 709-637-6266.

 

 

Yes. Orientation is listed as ORTN 1000 within the course selections found on Memorial Self Service (we strongly encourage new students to attend orientation). It's not only a great way to get all the information you need to start your university life, it will help you make real connections with your classmates.

 

Nearing the end of August, you will be able to find a list of the books you will need for your courses here (link to come).

 

You can get your student ID card at the Grenfell's Ferriss Hodgett Library; your ID card will double as a library card as well.

  • On Memorial Self Service by Visa or MasterCard
  • Through online banking by adding Memorial University as a bill payment with your student number being your account number
  • At the Bursar's Office on campus by cash, cheque, money order or debit (but we recommend the first two options to avoid long line-ups!)

Note: You can pay your fees any time after you register for your courses but full payment is due by the first day of classes. Fees not paid by the first day of classes will be assessed as late fees. To view your account balance, log in to Memorial Self Service and click "Financial Information."

You may change your schedule through Memorial Self Service after your initial registration as long as you keep within the appropriate add/drop deadlines, which are listed in the MUN Calendar. Please keep in mind that you should always consult an academic advisor before making changes to your courses.

All Grenfell students are required to have adequate health and dental coverage and are automatically enrolled in both Grenfell Campus Student Union Heath and Dental Plans. Students with alternative health and dental coverage may opt-out of GCSU Health and or Dental Plans by completing the opt-out form here. Online opt-out applications must be submitted no later than two weeks from the first day of classes. For more information visit www.GCSUonline.ca.

 

Check your @mun email during the last week of August to find out who your advisor is. All new students will be assigned an advisor and scheduled for an advising meeting during the orientation. Your advisor will impart critical details to you, so please make every effort to attend. Program specific advisors are also available, to get assigned to one, contact your respective program chairs.

 

Prior to the start of laboratory classes, students who plan on doing any lab science course will need to successfully complete Science 1807 (Safety in the Science Laboratory). Science 1807 is offered online through Brightspace and takes about 2 hours to complete. Students should first register for all their courses including Science 1807 through Memorial Self-Service. Students access the course online through Brightspace using their my.mun.ca login ID. Any questions can be directed to labsafety@mun.ca.

Integrity 100A/B is a required non-credit course which must be completed in your first semester of studies here at Memorial.

The course is divided into two parts: Integrity 100A and Integrity 100B. As a first-year student, you will automatically be registered for the course and it will be available in your list of courses in Brightspace. You can access the course using your my.mun.ca login. You will be able to access Integrity 100A as soon as you register for courses. Integrity 100B will be available in the Fall Term. You will have to successfully complete Integrity 100A before you have access to Integrity 100B.  You must complete Integrity 100A/B to be assigned a registration time for the January semester.
