Application Process

MFin Application Process

To apply, you will need to provide supplementary material, complete an online application form, and pay an application fee. All required materials must be received before an acceptance determination can be made.

Step 1. Fill out an Application

Fill out the online application and pay the $125 CAD application fee.

• Start a new application
• Return to your online application

Step 2. Recommendation Forms and Transcripts

• Recommendations: Upon completion of the referee section of your online application, your referees will be sent a secure link in order to provide a reference. Recommendation Forms MUST be sent from the referees professional email address (ie. NOT Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, 163, qq, etc). 
• Transcripts: We will accept uploaded unofficial transcripts for evaluation purposes. Applicants must upload a grading scale with their unofficial transcripts. Successful applicants will be required to submit official final transcripts. If your official transcript is in a language other than English, you will need to have a second official transcript translated by a notarized translator. The translator should submit both the original transcript and the translation directly to Saint Mary’s University.

Step 3. Language Tests and/or GMAT

• If English is not your first language we need proof of English language proficiency. If you have not done so already plan to write a language test and have the official score emailed or mailed (depending on the testing centre) to the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
• If you are planning on writing the GMAT email fgsr@smu.ca and inform them of the testing date. Also, have your official GMAT score sent through the testing agency at mba.com; the Saint Mary’s University (SMU) code is OM9-5R-85.

Step 4. Resume and Supplemental Questions

• Up-to-date resume or CV 
• Write your answers to questions found on the MFin Supplemental Form

Do not send any documentation to the MFin Office or the Director.
