Application Requirements
Royal Roads University seeks exceptional individuals committed to a high level of achievement in our programs. Admission to a degree program is based on criteria that ensure the highest standards of academic quality and student achievement. These include formal post-secondary education, life and/or work experience, and personal attributes. All applications to Royal Roads University are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Applications received after the deadline listed for the program may be deferred and considered for acceptance into the next program entry period. Applicants may apply online at http://www.pas.bc.ca/ or directly to Royal Roads University. Click here for more information on how to apply.
Enrolment at Royal Roads University is limited. Complete applications (i.e., all application documents have been received by the Admissions Office) will be processed and adjudicated on a rolling basis. Hence, programs may be filled prior to the application deadline. Owing to limitations in enrolment, the possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee that an applicant will be granted admission to a program or to the university. Each application for undergraduate and graduate programs must be accompanied by a $102 processing fee. This fee is non-refundable and will not be credited to the applicant's financial account in any circumstance. Students submitting transcripts from post secondary institutions outside of Canada must also submit a non-refundable $102 transcript evaluation fee or an evaluation prepared by the International Credential Evaluation Service or other approved evaluator.
The university reserves the right to refuse admission to any student. Upon acceptance, all students may be required to provide proof of medical and accident insurance coverage for the duration of their residential studies at the university.
Applications are not reviewed until the following information is received:
- Completed application form
- $102 application fee
- Two letters of reference dated within six months of application (where feasible, one academic and one professional)
- Official transcripts from all previous and current post-secondary institutions attended.
- Detailed resume

For information regarding specific structure or content requirements for applicants' reference letters, statements or resume please refer to Certificate and Diploma Requirements, Undergraduate Degree Requirements, or Graduate Degree Requirements.
