Most offers of admission have conditions that need to be met by a certain date (usually over the summer).
Conditions can include submitting final transcripts, achieving a specific grade in a required course, having a minimum final average, and sending English language requirements.
Conditions and deadlines will be listed on your Offer of Admission, available through Quest. If you fail to meet your admission conditions by the date on your Offer of Admission, your Offer could be revoked. If you’re concerned that you may not meet your conditions, email the admissions office.
How to see if your conditions have been met
Conditions on your Offer of Admission will be changed to "Completed" status on Quest after we've received and reviewed applicable documents. Official, final documents must be received by the deadline on your offer letter.
Once you submit your documents, please allow up to three weeks for them to be reviewed. Please continue to regularly check your Quest account for updates to the status of your conditions.
