Graduate Admissions Toolkit

Get Started with Your Application to Laurier

Browse Our Programs

Before you start your application process, make sure you take a close look at the information available on the program pages, including application deadlines and admissions requirements.

If you have any questions about the program you’re interested in, we encourage you to contact the program's graduate coordinator with any questions.

Prepare Your Application

If you are applying to a program for which you will have a research advisor, it’s recommended that you reach out to your preferred program before applying in order to find an advisor.

Ensure you are ready to provide all the documents required to upload as part of your application. You can find the list of required documents as part of the application checklist on each program page.

You are responsible for your application.
  • You are expected to ensure that the documents you have uploaded are accurate, complete, and submitted in accordance with the requirements of the checklist in LORIS.

  • Click ‘review’ as often as you need to ensure that you have uploaded the correct version of each supplementary document (as applicable), and that your documents are in the correct order.

  • Any changes must be made prior to clicking ‘Submit my Application'.

When your application has been submitted, no further changes can be made, and the application materials as you have provided will be assessed.
