Applicants seeking admission to Memorial University for a limited period of time without being admitted to a degree program, and who meet the criteria outlined below, should apply under the category of visiting student. This category allows admission for up to two consecutive semesters.

Registration eligibility is subject to course availability and completion of course pre-requisites. You are strongly encouraged to speak with the academic unit offering the course(s) of interest to verify registration eligibility, prior to submitting your application.

When completing the application for admission, applicants should select the Area of Interest as Unsure (Undergraduate). Visiting students are not reviewed for general admission or transfer credit, and will be required to submit a new application for admission if they wish to complete a degree program at a later point in time.
