Application Dates + Deadlines

Applications to the MLIS program are accepted from September to January, with admitted students beginning their studies the following September (Fall Term). We have one application intake and one start term per year. 

It is highly recommended that prospective students begin their application well in advance of the application deadline. Prospective students who begin their application on or near the deadline risk submitting an incomplete application. Only complete applications with all supporting documentation will be forwarded to the Admissions Committee for review. Incomplete applications will be denied.
