When will I find out if I have been offered admission to a program?
For programs that start in the Fall, colleges can start sending out offers of admission on November 1 and will continue to send them out until programs are full or wait-lists are established. Offers for programs that start at other times of the year will have different deadlines. Contact the colleges directly for more information.
Can you tell me if I have been offered admission to a program?
If a college has made you an offer of admission, we will post it to your Ontario Colleges application under Offers on your Dashboard Home screen. Check regularly to see if an offer has come in.
Keep in mind, we don't receive information about whether students have been declined or wait-listed for a program. If you're concerned that you haven't received an offer, contact the colleges directly.
How do I confirm my offer?
To confirm an offer, log in to your Ontario Colleges application and go to Offers on your Dashboard Home screen. Select View Offers to see your available offers of admission. Select the college and program you want and then select Accept. You will then be asked to confirm your acceptance of the offer. Your offer is then considered accepted and we will notify the college of your decision. You will also receive an email confirmation from Ontario Colleges.
For more information, see Accepting an Offer.
Will I receive confirmation that I have accepted an offer?
You will receive an email from Ontario Colleges once you have confirmed an offer. You can also expect to hear from the college about your next steps. If you’re concerned you haven’t received anything from your college, you can contact them directly.
Can I decline an offer?
Once you’ve accepted an offer, there’s no need to decline your remaining offers – our system will decline them automatically.
If you’ve decided not to attend college and you’d like to decline all your offers, log in to your Ontario Colleges application and go to Offers on your Dashboard. Select View Offers to see a list of your offers, and then select Decline All Offers. You will receive an email from Ontario Colleges summarizing the offers you’ve declined. Upon confirming that you are declining all offers, Ontario Colleges will notify the colleges. If you change your mind or receive another offer after you have declined all offers, you may accept the offer as long as it is still active (i.e. the offer is not expired or revoked).
For more information, see Declining Offers.
Can I change my acceptance?
If you've already accepted one offer of admission, you can choose to accept a different offer as long as the offer is still current. (If it is not current, it will be marked as 'Expired'.)
Keep in mind that you can only accept one offer at a time. When you accept a new offer, the new college will be notified and your original acceptance will be automatically cancelled.
For more information, see Responding to an Offer.
What if I’m not accepted?
If you were not accepted to any of the programs you applied for, you can go to the Explore Programs page on the Ontario Colleges website to search for programs that are still open. If you find a program or programs you're interested in, you can log in to your Ontario Colleges application and change your existing programs to the new ones. The colleges will be notified of your changes, and you will be considered for the new programs.
What if my offer is expired / revoked / suspended?
If your offer has been marked as expired, revoked or suspended, you must contact the college directly for more information.
