Application status


Based on where you are in the process, your application will be assigned one of the statuses below:

Awaiting Submission

This will occur when you have not completed or paid for your application. Log in to ApplyAlberta to ensure you have provided all the required information. Your next step will be to submit your application and pay the non-refundable $120 application fee.

Awaiting Payment

If you submitted a paper application or had an application submitted online by one of our representatives, you will need to pay the non-refundable $120 application fee. Review payment options to find our acceptable online payment methods.

Awaiting Materials

This will happen if you haven’t provided transcripts or sufficient evidence confirming you will meet the admission requirements. You can upload your supporting documents directly through your Admissions Portal Status Page.


Application decisions

We will evaluate your application and assign one of the following decisions once your application is submitted with your official transcripts and/or sufficient evidence.


Admit

Congratulations, we’ve made you an offer of admission. Depending on the documents you provided, this will either be a full offer of admission or an offer of admission with conditions. Make sure to review the letter on your status page and complete the necessary steps before your deadline. 


Make sure to accept your offer and pay the non-refundable tuition/enrolment deposit within 30 days of your offer being made.


Note: If you don’t accept your offer and pay the enrolment deposit by the appropriate deadline, your offer will expire and the seat could be offered to an applicant on the waitlist.
