FAQs

Ques. I have received a Waitlist letter for my program choice. Does this mean I will not get a seat?

Ans. A waitlist letter means that the Institute has exceeded the number of available program seats. There is a chance that they may extend more offers, but this generally will not take place until after May 1st confirmation deadline date. Waitlist calls will depend on the number of confirmations for the program and if they have received any withdrawals

Ques. Can I change my program selection after I have accepted an offer to another program?

Ans. You can make changes to your current application by simply logging into ontariocolleges.ca and adding or deleting program choices. This is dependent on program availability. Applicants can have up to three program choices at one college and five program choices in total. You may have to delete a program choice in order to accommodate the additional program. There is no additional charge to make these changes.

Ques. My offer says it is conditional. What does this mean?

Ans. A conditional offer means they are waiting for final admission requirements to be met. For: direct from high school applicants, this could mean that we are waiting for your final semester 2 marks or your Ontario Secondary School Diploma graduation date. For: current college or university students, we may be waiting for final course marks or program graduation information. Applicants will have a deadline date to submit any outstanding requirements. This date is generally set towards the end of July.

Ques. I do not have high enough marks or the prerequisites to get into my program of choice. Do I have options?

Ans. Confederation College offers programs that will assist you in achieving your goals, such as Pre-Health Sciences, Pre-Technology, College Access, General Arts and Science, and Academic Upgrading.
