Details about selecting courses
The course calendar for the next academic year becomes available in April so it is recommended that exchange students complete their application as soon as they are able.

Students will only be able to view the course calendar after they apply and receive a username and password at Mount Allison University.

After an exchange student applies and is accepted for their exchange studies, they are required to pay the $450 registration deposit. Once Mount Allison University receives the registration deposit, exchange students can be registered in courses.

Please note: exchange students can not register themselves in advanced courses at Mount Allison on Self Service by themselves. The International Centre will assist with the manual register process. Typically exchange students who will come for the fall term or the full academic year will be registered in courses in July and students who will come for the winter term will be registered in November/December.
 
Please note, exchange students may take courses in multiple programs and subjects while at Mount Allison. They are not limited to one faculty or program. Students can mix and match courses based on their interests; however, students must have appropriate prerequisites. This means that students must have taken a similar course at their home university. All Bachelor degrees at Mount Allison University are four-year programs and students typically declare a major and a minor after their second year. Typically, first year courses at Mount Allison start with the number 1, second year courses start with the number 2, third year courses start with a 3 and fourth year courses start with a 4.
