I'm ready to apply

First, check you are ready to apply:

• Do you know what program you are applying for?
• Do you meet the program's admission requirements? (Program pages have a “requirements” link in the left-hand sidebar)
• Do you know when to apply?

Then, apply by following these directions.

You will be provided with further details as soon as your application has been assessed for admission. This could be within one week, but could be more depending on completeness of documentation, complexity of admission requirements, and time of year.

What about program prerequisites?

First check the “requirements” in the left-hand sidebar on each program page.

If you have taken classes different than those listed (or a long time ago), you may want an assessment of your math or English levels. Many upgrading options are available.

Complete applications are processed on a first-qualified, first-served basis, so it is important to apply as soon as you know you’re close to meeting admission requirements.
