23. You’ve applied and are waiting
• Grade 12s who have applied and think they are fine
with their application – double check
• Make sure you are done everything on your TO-DO
list
• Check deadlines – for lists, acceptance of offer,
tuition deposits
• Your application could get cancelled, it has
happened to students every year
We are on a WEEK B

24. Your post-secondary education is an investment. It’s a
common refrain, and for the MacEwan University
Recruitment Team, the comparison is simple. If you
wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it, or purchase a
condo without walking through it, why would you choose
a university without visiting its campus? Between Open
House, information sessions, and campus tours,
MacEwan University offers a variety of ways to visit, but
perhaps the most immersive experience is Student for a
Day.
Register for the upcoming MacEwan University Student
for a Day session Friday, March 2 by completing the form
at MacEwan.ca/StudentForADay.
We are on a WEEK B

25. During Info Session Weeks from February 5 to 10 and
March 12 to 17, prospective students can attend any one
of the free information sessions. Full details on information
sessions on offer during Info Session WEEK Bnd
throughout the year are available at
MacEwan.ca/InfoSessions.
