Conditional Admission provides you with a seat in the program and is granted on the basis of your current marks and confirmation of enrolment in the courses needed to fulfill the admission requirements for your program.
Final marks must be submitted within one month following the completion of each course, and no later than one month prior to the program start date. Final marks will be reviewed and admission status assessed upon submission of final marks. Please ensure you have made arrangements for this to occur, as you don’t want to risk losing your seat in the program. Once Full Admission has been granted, applicants will be notified via email and mail that this status has been achieved.
