Admission and Financing
Application
When do you want to begin your studies?
There are three terms each year to choose from. The majority of students start in the Fall term, however, you need to decide what fits the best with your unique situation. It is becoming very common for students to start their studies in the Winter or Spring terms too. You will be asked to select one of the terms below on the application form:
- Spring – May
- Fall – September
- Winter – January
What is your admission category?
This is where you tell us what type of student you are. Are you coming from high school? Perhaps you are from outside of Canada wanting to take a course here? Maybe you were homeschooled? Take a few minutes and determine your admission category. This will ensure we assess your application correctly. There are a lot of categories, so if you are unsure just send us an email. We would be happy to help you.
When are the recommended application deadlines?
We encourage students to apply at least 3-4 months before they wish to start school. This allows time for your application to be processed. Below are some recommended deadlines. Late applications will be accepted, but we cannot guarantee that your file will be processed by the start of classes for the term you want. International students should also consider processing times for study permits or visas when applying for admission.
Don’t worry if you miss a deadline, because if you don’t start classes in September (Fall), you can start in January (Winter) or May (Spring). More and more students are choosing to start their classes at different times of the school year, depending on their circumstances. An official offer of admission is valid for three terms.
The deadlines are:
- Fall – June 1
- Winter – October 1
- Spring – March 1
