Confirmation of Acceptance

May 1 is the deadline to confirm your offer of admission (conditional or final) with ontariocolleges.ca or risk losing your place if the program is oversubscribed.
Conditional Acceptance
Applicants granted conditional acceptance must satisfy all outstanding admission requirements before their acceptance can be finalized. This usually applies to students currently enrolled in secondary school or another educational institution at the time of application, and the conditional admission decision is based on interim grades. Please note that for students with conditional acceptance to limited enrolment programs, the selection benchmarks for those programs must be maintained in any courses/programs that are in progress at the time of the offer in order to finalize the acceptance. Students are encouraged to review the annual benchmarks for a particular program carefully before confirming an offer of admission.
Note: Students with conditional offers are still required to meet all published confirmation or payment deadlines.
