Applicants who require enhanced English language proficiency have the option

that Mount Allison is able to grant conditional admission, which enables students to begin their visa
application processes before completion of the ILI program. For more information on the ILI,
please refer to
<www.mta.ca>
and
<www.ili.ca>
Mount Allison recognizes that students come to us through many different paths and,
consequently, with many different experiences. Individuals who will be 22 years of age
or older prior to the first day of classes of the term in which admission is sought may
be considered for admission as a mature student. A mature student should apply as a
full or part-time student and include with his/her application a letter of intent,
an updated resum? and a copy of his/her high school transcript. A letter of intent
should state both personal and career goals which detail the reasons for applying to
the university. The resum?should document recent work and volunteer experience.
Applicants who have attempted fewer than 18 credits or equivalent of transferable
post-secondary level courses may also be eligible for admission as a mature student.
If a student has undertaken study at any other university or recognized post-secondary
institution please have the institution send an official transcript directly to the
Admissions Office.
The Admissions Office reserves the right to refer any cases to the Admissions
and Re-admissions Committee for special consideration.

or college and who want to complete coursework at Mount Allison
are considered visiting students. In order to be considered for admission, applicants
must obtain a Letter of Permission from their home institution. A visiting student
