When to apply? Apply early! Seats in many programs are limited and fill quickly.

How long will it take to process my application? Due to the high volume of applications received, please expect a longer than normal delay in processing your application.  In some cases, depending upon the program applied to, an application review process can take up to six weeks.

Will I get an offer of admission?  There is a good chance if you have met all of the program's entrance requirements; however, please note, meeting minimum program entrance requirements does not guarantee an offer of admission. Questions about your application status? Log in to the Applicant Portal and check what stage your application is at and if your official documents have been received or are still outstanding.

What programs are open to international students? Check Available programs by semester.
