What happens after you apply
Resources
After you complete your application and pay your application fee (if required), your application will be processed.
If your open enrolment application is accepted: You'll receive a letter with your Student Number.
If you apply to a limited enrolment program: You'll receive a letter acknowledging your application in about 1-2 weeks. You will be advised in writing of all the admission requirements for the program.
If you meet all requirements, you may be eligible to receive an offer. Official seat offers are sent in writing. A seat offer means you are conditionally accepted into the program. At that point, some programs require a medical and/or criminal record search and a non-refundable/non transferable deposit to hold the seat.
If your application is incomplete: The Registrar's Office will contact you by mail or by phone, and let you know why your application is incomplete or has not been accepted.
Who gets in? How limited programs choose candidates
Open enrolment programs make offers to qualified candidates based on application date (first-come, first-served).
Some limited enrolment programs rank applications received before the application deadline, then offer seats to the most qualified applicants first. This is called Preferential Admission.
Other limited enrolment programs use a blended approach: preferential ranking but with a portion of the available seats offered, well before the application deadline, to qualified candidates who applied early. This is called is called Preferential Admission.
