Limited Enrolment programs

Limited Enrolment programs accept applications until they are filled. Students are encouraged to apply early. In order to be considered for admission, all general and program-specific admission criteria must be complete. Candidates will be selected for admission on a first-qualified, first-admitted basis, except where a program has established an admission process that first ranks each candidate within the pool of qualified candidates, then selects candidates based on their rank order (highest to lowest).  Some programs offer early admission - refer to the program description section for details.

(Examples of Limited Enrolment Programs are Nursing, Early Childhood Education, Veterinary Technology etc. which can accommodate only a limited number of students.)

 

Things to remember when applying for a Limited Enrolment program


  1. Applicants to these programs must first meet the College's General Admission Requirements unless a higher or lower requirement is specified in the Program Description section of this Catalogue.
  2. Some limited enrolment programs have special admission requirements that must be successfully met before an applicant is admitted to the College. Information regarding the special requirements is specified in the Program Description section of this Catalogue.
  3. Applicants who meet both the general and special admission requirements may be ranked within a pool of qualified candidates and selected in descending order. Spaces for these students who are offered a seat are reserved and must be confirmed by payment of a non-refundable, non-transferable deposit at the time of acceptance, usually four to five months prior to the commencement of classes. If a student does not pay the deposit within the specified deadline, the offer of admission will be withdrawn and the space will be offered to another applicant. (Please see Refund Information concerning refund of deposits.)
  4. A student who is eligible for admission to a limited enrolment program but is not selected must reapply for subsequent intakes.
  5. Some, but not all, limited enrolment programs are available to international students. Contact the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÐ±¦µä¿ª½±½á¹û International for current information.
