Typically, the largest offer round is around mid-May. This allows us to consider more complete grade 12 course information and ensure you are not disadvantaged by course availability or selection at your school.
There is no disadvantage to getting an offer in the last round, so don't worry if you don't hear back early.
After you complete your application by submitting all forms and grades, you can expect to wait up to 6 weeks before you hear back from us. For Nursing applicants, it may take longer to hear back.
We make decisions on a rolling basis. This means decisions are released each week as we work down the queue of complete applications. The earlier you complete your application, the better!
Sometimes when you hear back it won't be an admission decision. We may ask you for additional documents and you'll be back in the queue to review again.
What's The Status Of Your App?
The most up-to-date status of your application will always be on your Student Center. We don't have any more info than what you can see there.
You'll Get An Email When We Make An Admission Decision
Once we make a decision on your application, you'll get an email.
If we make you an offer, your email will include a link to your personalized Choose Western Offer Portal. Only students with an offer of admission can log in to the Choose Portal.
You Will Not Get An Offer Letter In The Mail
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and preserving our planet's resources. We do not print offer letters.
Your Choose Portal has all the information you need—plus it's dynamic and personalized to you!
Official Offer Letter For International Students
You'll need a Letter of Acceptance to start your study permit paperwork. You'll find this document on the last page of your Offer of Admission letter, which you can access on Student Center.
You may receive a waitlist offer if your admission average is a few percent below the current admission requirements.
Western uses a waitlist because we only have a certain number of seats in each program. If we still have remaining spaces in early June, we will email students who have accepted their place on the waitlist, starting with the most qualified candidates.
Our waitlists are dynamic. If you improve your grades after being placed on the waitlist, make sure your updated marks are on your OUAC account.
