All applications to this program require submission of the following information and supporting documents before your file can be assessed for admission:
Application form
In order to apply online, you will be required to create a log-in account using your email address. You will be required to list all credit courses and/or programs you have completed or are currently enrolled in. An application fee will be required. If your application fees are being paid by a third party, review sponsored student information. Once submitted, you may check the status of your application at any time.
Official transcripts
Applicants are responsible for arranging for the submission of official transcripts from ALL post-secondary (higher education) institutions currently or previously attended, for all credit courses and/or programs. Transcripts are not required for non-credit programs or courses, though some programs may require proof of professional certifications or designations.
Transcripts are considered official only if submitted directly by the Registrar or other recognized authority of the providing institution in the institution's original, sealed envelope. If the envelope has been opened, the transcripts are no longer official and new (official) transcripts will be required to complete your application.
All international transcripts or credentials are subject to an international transcript and/or credential evaluation.
Statement of intent
Applicants must prepare a statement of intent that speaks to the following questions:
- What influenced your decision to apply to Royal Roads University, and specifically this program?

- What are your goals and ambitions beyond the program?
If there is any other information that you feel might be of interest or relevance to your application, please include it in the statement of intent.
Letters of reference
Typically, applicants will provide one professional letter and one academic or community service letter. For those unable to provide an academic reference, two professional references are suitable. Purely personal references will not be accepted.
Letters should confirm suitable candidacy for the program and be emailed directly by the author to the Admissions office. For example, writers should speak to why they believe you will succeed in the program (and why) and that they believe the program will benefit you (and why).
