| Pay your deposits |
First-year students
You must pay your non-refundable Tuition Deposit as outlined in your offer letter before you can register. You do not pay a Registration Deposit ($125) for the Fall or Winter semester of your first year.
Continuing students
You must pay a $125 non-refundable Registration Deposit per semester before you can register for your courses. To register for both the Fall and the Winter semesters, you will need to pay a total of $250. The deposit will be credited toward your tuition; however, Mount Royal will retain the deposit if you choose to drop all courses for the semester.
If you are a current student who has applied and been accepted to a new program, you are required to pay the non-refundable Tuition Deposit outlined in your offer letter. The deposit will be credited toward your tuition; however, Mount Royal will retain the deposit if you choose to drop all courses for the semester.
How to pay deposits
Credit card payments are strongly recommended for every type of deposit as they are processed and appear on your account immediately.
To pay by Visa or MasterCard, visit MyMRU > Register & Pay > Pay Deposits and select the deposit you wish to pay. You will be prompted to enter your credit card information. Please ensure the cardholder’s current mailing address is entered exactly as it shows on credit card statements.
Paying your deposit through online banking will result in a delay in your registration due to manual processing. If you pay through online banking, you must complete this form to notify studentfees@mtroyal.ca that a deposit has been paid through online banking.
To pay by debit, cash, money order or credit card, visit the Office of the Registrar (A101).

First-year students
You can register for your courses once you have received a (Conditional) Offer of Admission and paid the non-refundable Tuition Deposit outlined in your offer letter. Registration usually begins mid-April for Fall and Winter semesters and ends of March or early April for Spring and Summer semesters.
Current students
Continuing students are assigned a registration access date based on the percentage they have completed towards their credentialed program (including transfer credits). The more credits that you accumulate, the earlier you will be able to register. Registration for all semesters begins mid-March.
You can register immediately if you pay your Registration Deposit on or after your Registration Access Date. If your payment is made before your Registration Access Date, you must wait until it is your day to register.
Students enroled in non-credentialed programs are assigned the last day of registration for continuing students. Non-credentialed programs include: Academic Upgrading, Indigenous University Bridging Program, Bachelor of Arts - Undeclared, Bachelor of Education - minor undeclared, English Language Program, Open Studies and University Entrance Option.
If you are a current student who has applied and been accepted to a new program, you are required to pay the non-refundable Tuition Deposit outlined in your offer letter before you will be eligible to register for courses in your new program.
Spring and Summer registration is independent of Full Year Registration. You can register for Spring/Summer Semesters in accordance with the dates outlined in the Academic Schedule.
