Important admissions information for you
The Faculty of Environment works with the Academic Unit (Department, School, or program) and Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA) to review all graduate applications. We are committed to a fair and thorough review process with the goal of providing students with an admission decision in a timely manner.
Completed applications will normally be reviewed approximately 8-10 weeks from the application deadline.
If, upon review of your application, we discover that information is missing, unclear, or incomplete, the Graduate Co-ordinator within the academic unit will contact you.
If you have applied to a research program, a faculty member must be willing to act as your supervisor in order for you to receive an offer of admission. In the event that your requested supervisor(s) is unable to support you, your application may be made available to other faculty members within the academic unit to which you have applied. Faculty members can then access and review your application documentation and contact you if needed.
Once an admission decision has been made, applicants will receive an email and an admission decision will appear in Quest. Admitted students can then view and print our electronic offer of admission letter.
Please visit the GSPA's future student's site for application deadlines and learn more about the admissions review process.
