There are three different program admission processes at UCC. The first thing you should know is what kind of admission process is in place for the program you are interested in.
Open Admission: Applications are accepted, and admission determined on a "first applied, first admitted" basis for qualified applicants, using the date by which the application was received. The only programs that offer Open Admission are first-year university study in the Arts (B.A.) and Science (B.Sc.) degrees. Students who apply while still in Grade 12 can be given conditional admission.
Being admitted and "invited to register" is not a guarantee that space will be available in the desired courses, as new student registration priority is based on the date of application.
Limited Admission: When there is a pre-determined number of seats available in the program, and applications are accepted, and admission determined on a "first applied, first admitted" basis, using the date by which applicants have met all of the application requirements.
Limited admission programs frequently include an admission interview, questionnaires, pretesting, orientations, letters of reference, and other relevant information as part of the admissions process.
Details are sent to applicants in an Admission Requirements Package, usually after they complete the initial application form.
Once a student is determined to be qualified, they will be offered admission, and have 21 days to accept the offer, by payment of the Commitment Fee. Most one-year Certificate programs, some two-year Diploma and some Degree programs are limited admission. Once all seats are filled, qualified applicants will be put on a wait-list.
Selective Admission: When all applications are accepted up to a pre-determined deadline date, after which they are assessed, using an established selection process that may include GPA standings, as well as other criteria. Meeting the Minimum Requirements for admission does not guarantee admission.
Selective admission programs frequently include an admission interview, questionnaires, pretesting, orientations, letters of reference, and other relevant information as part of the admissions process.
Details are sent to applicants in an Admission Requirements Package, usually after they complete the initial application form.
Once the assessment and ranking of qualified applicants has been completed, the limited number of seats in the program will be filled by offers of admission only to those students selected, and others may be put on a wait-list. Students offered admission have 21 days to accept the offer by payment of the Commitment Fee.
Several university degrees, along with a number of specialized Diploma programs are selective admission programs at UCC.
