FAQs
-
Admission to most academic programs is competitive, meaning students with higher grades will be considered first. Competitive and minimum grade requirements vary from program to program and from year to year based on the number of applicants. To help you determine if your grades are competitive, refer to the Admission Requirements chart which lists the competitive average range based on the competitive average at the end of Early Admission for the previous Fall Semester. For clarification on program admission requirements, review the admission information for your program of interest.

Fall Semester
Admission decisions will begin to be made in November and will continue on an ongoing basis until August. Your application can only be considered once your course and grade information and any required documents have been received.
Generally, applicants who apply for admission during Early Admission (October 1 to February 1) can expect a decision or update to their status between November and May. Applicants with higher competitive averages will receive offers first and those who are close to the competitive average cut-off may experience a longer wait.
Since all applicants are treated equally up until the end of Early Admission, we ensure that we do not fill our programs prior to that date so we can accommodate all competitively qualified applicants who apply during that period.
Some programs may take longer to make admission decisions due to a high volume of applications or additional admission criteria such as a portfolio or interview.
