The admissions process varies depending on the cycle of studies to which you wish to submit an application for admission. For admission to graduate studies, see the Master of Education and Master of Arts in Canadian Studies programs. For any other program, see the procedure below.

1. Choose your program

Choose a program that interests you from the list of programs.

Before you start filling out your application for admission, please check the admission requirements. Consult the directory for details on the programs offered, including admission criteria, registration, requirements, obligations and regulations attached to them.

2. Check deadlines

• You can check them out here! Consult the deadlines for the programs offered.

3. Determine your status

You will have to choose your status when you complete your online admission application.

• Regular student:

  A regular student is considered to be one who belongs to one of the following three groups:

  • is admitted in accordance with the general and specific requirements;
  • is re-enrolled after an absence of five years or less for a university program and one year or less for an ETP program;
  • comes from another university and is eligible because of the possibility of transferring credits to the Université de Saint-Boniface in order to obtain a first degree.

• Mature student:

  A mature student is considered to be any person who meets all of the following criteria:

  • has not attended or has not completed high school;
  • has not completed post-secondary education at a recognized university or college;
  • is 21 years of age or older
    • (before September 30 for the regular year, before January 31 for admission in January and before May 1 for admission between sessions);
  • has Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status;
  • registers with a view to being subsequently accepted into a program as a regular student, after 24 credits; and
  • does not meet all general admission requirements.

  This student must submit:

  • an application for admission;
  • a birth certificate;
  • a marriage certificate (married women who have changed their name).

• Visiting student:

  A visiting student is considered to be any person admitted to one or more courses for credit at another institution.

  These individuals must comply with all obligations and regulations regarding examinations and voluntary withdrawals. On the other hand, they pay the same tuition fees as a regular student. By choosing this status, it is only possible to take undergraduate courses depending on the availability of the courses in question.

  For certain programs, priority is given to students from the Université de Saint-Boniface.

• Free Auditor:

  A free auditor is considered to be anyone admitted to one or more courses for which they do not expect to receive credit.(For these people, the registration fees are reduced by half.) The professor's written agreement is required for any registration in a course under the “auditor” classification. By choosing this status, it is only possible to take undergraduate courses depending on the availability of the courses in question. For certain programs, priority is given to students from the Université de Saint-Boniface.

• Special student:

  A special student is considered to be any person who obtains the dean's permission to enroll in one or more courses and who meets one or more of the following criteria:

  • possess a diploma undergraduate in another faculty;
  • choose one or more courses whose credits cannot be validly considered for obtaining a degree, diploma or certificate.

  These individuals must comply with all obligations and regulations regarding examinations and voluntary withdrawals. On the other hand, they pay the same tuition fees as a regular student.

• Senior Student:

  Anyone 65 years of age or older can register free of charge. She will have to submit a birth certificate with her application for admission.

4. Complete your admissions application

• You can do so here!

5. Submit your documentation

Please read the deadlines for submitting the documentation that must accompany your application for admission.

• It remains your responsibility to ensure that the university receives all documentation by the deadline. If they do not receive the relevant documentation for your file (including the non-refundable admission fees) before the deadline, they will unfortunately not be able to evaluate your file and follow up on your request for the requested session.
• If you studied at another university or other post-secondary institution, you will need to submit an official transcript for all studies completed when you submit your application for admission. If you are in the process of studying, you will have to submit your transcript to us as soon as your final grades are available. Students suspended from another post-secondary institution are not eligible for admission to Université de Saint-Boniface.

After submitting your application for admission online, send the required documents as well as the admission fees (non-refundable) to the Registrar's Office at the address below before the deadlines. Deadlines for submitting your documentation vary by program.

Documents from a North American educational institution must be original. We recommend that documents (with the exception of French or English standardized test results, which must be originals) from an institution outside of North America be certified copies of the originals if you cannot receive other original documents, as these will not be returned to you. These documents must be mailed or dropped off in person. Scanned and emailed documents will not be accepted.

If you do not register at the Université de Saint-Boniface, your admission file, including any documentation provided, will be destroyed after two years.
