# You've Submitted Your Application - What Happens Next?

So you’ve completed your application and paid all the fees, and you’re wondering what happens next. There are several things that you could do while you wait to hear from the colleges:

- Apply for OSAP and [link your application to your account](/domestic/docs/linking-your-account-to-your-osap-application).
- Apply for transfer credits (if applicable).

For more information about transferring credits between colleges and universities, visit the [Transfer Credits](https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/applying/transfer-credits) page on the Ontario Colleges website.

- Submit [other supporting documents](/domestic/docs/supporting-documents#other-documents), if required for the programs that you’ve applied to.

If you have questions about which supporting documents are required, [contact the college](https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/contact-the-colleges).

- [Monitor your application](/domestic/docs/monitoring-your-application) for information updates or offers from the colleges.

## Viewing Your Supporting Documents

As supporting documents are added to your application, they are listed on the Documents and Transcripts page.

The Documents and Transcripts page for our example applicant lists several different types of supporting documents.

![The Documents and Transcripts page for Tim, the applicant, includes high school, college, and university transcripts, an evaluation report, a resume, and a couple of letters. The Received column shows that they were all received on October 24, 2025.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/98c48b39-7164-46f0-8769-e87df43b09f3/Images/Documentation/Docs_Full_Page_EN.jpg)

## What if I need to withdraw my application?

Life happens. If things change and you’re not able to attend college, you can decline an offer. For details, see [Declining Offers](/domestic/docs/accepting-an-offer#declining-offers).

In some situations, you might also have to withdraw your application. For example, if you already paid a deposit to the college and wish to withdraw from the accepted program. In this case, you must [contact the college](https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/contact-the-colleges) directly.
