Romania medical school deadlines 2026: dates Canadians should not miss
The biggest preventable mistake in the Romania route is treating the application as if it is only an online form. The form matters, but so do translations, PDF scans, fee validation, email checks, place confirmation, visa planning, and the physical original-file window. For Canadians applying to UMF Craiova in 2026, the official calendar gives a clear structure.
Official window
UMF Craiova lists May 25 to July 15, 2026 for online registration.
The official UMF Craiova 2026 English-taught Medicine and Dental Medicine page lists online registration from May 25, 2026 at 12:00 to July 15, 2026 at 12:00, local Craiova time. For Canadian students, that is the working deadline for building the online application file.
Do not plan around July 15 as if it is the day to start. If a transcript, report card, diploma, notarized declaration, translation, apostille, or payment proof needs fixing, the closing week is a bad time to discover it.
- May 25, 2026: online registration opens at 12:00 local Craiova time.
- July 15, 2026: online registration closes at 12:00 local Craiova time.
- July 24, 2026: provisional eligible lists are scheduled for publication.
- July 28, 2026: eligible candidates must confirm the study place by the listed deadline.
- September 14 to September 30, 2026: original files are submitted at the International Relations Office.
2026 deadlines
The official UMF Craiova 2026 English-taught Medicine and Dental Medicine page lists online registration from May 25, 2026 at 12:00 to July 15, 2026 at 12:00, local Craiova time. For Canadian students, that is the working deadline for building the online application file.
Practical order
Build the file backwards from the deadline.
A clean Canadian timeline starts with school documents, passport validity, forms, proof items, translation planning, and file scans. Once the university platform is open, you should already know what documents are ready and what still needs official handling.
The UMF page states that the submitted files receive a registration code, but only files with validated processing fee are checked and considered for admission competition. That means payment proof and validation timing are not optional details.

After the list
A provisional list is not the same as finished enrollment.
The official page notes that the preliminary results list is not equivalent to actual enrollment in the first year of studies. Eligible candidates must confirm the place by the set deadline. Non-EU citizens also need to plan around the acceptance letter and student visa process.
This is where Canadian applicants should keep a separate checklist for admission, place confirmation, first-year tuition requirements, visa documents, travel timing, and original-file delivery.

Risk control
The safest application plan has a buffer.
A serious plan leaves at least two buffers: one before online submission and one after provisional eligibility. The first buffer protects document quality. The second protects confirmation, visa, housing, travel, and original files.
StudyROM's paid support packages are built around the sequence, not just the upload. The goal is to help students know what should be ready before each deadline arrives.
