Yes. If a program or a course is full, qualified applicants are automatically placed on the program or course waitlist. The waitlist is determined by date of acceptance, so early application is advised. Check the email address you used when you applied regularly.
Being waitlisted does not guarantee a seat. Waitlisted students may be offered a seat if an opening becomes available before the program start date.
Cancellations may result in short notice for acceptance into a program, therefore funding applications should be submitted early if applicable.
The admission requirements depends on the program. Please visit the program page for more detailed information.
It's a holding list for qualified applicants after a program fills up. If space becomes available due to accepted students dropping out or not meeting conditions, the next qualified student on the waitlist is offered a spot.
We do not offer deferrals. You will have to re-apply for the next intake, submit a new application, and pay the application fee.
Each application is specific to the program and term applied to, so you will need to submit a new application and pay the application fee.
Applications are processed on a first qualified, first accepted basis. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks to hear back from the Admissions Officer after you have submitted your application and required documents (e.g., transcripts, English proficiency test results, etc.). If you have not received a response to your application after 6 weeks, you can email admissions@bowvalleycollege.ca Please note the Practical Nurse Diploma program applicants will not hear back on their eligibility until after the document submission deadline.
Admissions test - post-secondary programs
The purpose of the admissions test is to demonstrate that you meet the academic requirements of the program you have applied for.
For example, if you have applied to a program that requires English 30 and Math 30 your English and Math test results should show that you have the reading/writing and math skills developed in those high school courses. Please note, not all Bow Valley College programs accept the admissions test for entry, if you are unsure, please review the admission requirements outlined on the program page or refer to your email from the admissions team regarding your next steps.
