Mount Allison University is hosting its Winter Open House on February 27, 2026, offering local students in Amherst, Nova Scotia, a chance to visit the campus before key financial deadlines. The event includes guided tours, academic information sessions, and a free lunch for prospective students and their families at the dining hall.
To help local families attend, the university is providing free round-trip bus transportation with a specific pick-up and drop-off location in Amherst. Students who register for the event also have the opportunity to enter a contest for a 5,000 dollar residence award to help cover the costs of living on campus.
This event takes place just two days before the March 1, 2026, deadline for scholarships and residence guarantees. This timing allows students applying for the September 2026 school year to meet with the admissions team and faculty before submitting their final paperwork.
The open house marks a return to regular public activities following a brief closure earlier this month while police investigated a security concern. Operations returned to normal after the winter study break, and university officials are now focused on welcoming the community back to the campus.
