    Details

    Published for September 2027 entry. Other Dalhousie programmes are considered where space is available until classes start, but the scholarship deadline is the same day.

    Dalhousie's September 2027 calendar gives 15 February 2027 for Nursing, Health Sciences, Medical Sciences and Social Work and 1 March 2027 for Environmental Design Studies (Architecture). Everything else is considered "where space is available" until classes start, but 15 February 2027 is also the scholarship deadline and 1 May 2027 the date to accept offers and awards, so mid-February is the date that matters. To be guaranteed a place in residence, apply for it by 15 May 2027.
