The Admissions Process

When should I apply?

We strongly advise applicants to apply early as space is limited and demand for some full-time programs is extremely high.

How and when will I know if I am accepted into the program?

You will be notified in writing within six to eight weeks of application. On acceptance, you must finalize your tuition payment arrangements by the student intake appointment to retain a guaranteed space in the program.

How will you assess my application to the program?

Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis and assessed on the merits of the following:

• Academic transcripts
• Autobiography
• Resume
• References

Do I need health care coverage while I am studying in Canada?

All international students must have the appropriate health insurance coverage during their stay in Canada and purchase their health insurance through the UWDCE Registration Office by the first day of class. More information about health insurance is available upon request.

Should I identify a physical or learning disability or a chronic medical condition?

The UWDCE asks you to identify any learning or physical disability, or chronic medical condition that may impact on your studies or require services or accommodations.
