• You can put three program choices on your application.
• Your first choice should be your top choice. If you don’t get accepted to your first choice, we’ll automatically consider your other choices, in the order that you specify.
• Pick a new subject for each choice. For example, don't choose the honours, specialization and major in the same subject (e.g. Psychology) for your three choices. If you don't meet the requirements for the honours, we'll automatically consider you for the specialization or the major instead.
• Admission requirements for some programs are exactly the same (for example, all John Molson School of Business degree programs and Aerospace Engineering programs). Do not choose more than one program for your three choices if they have the same admission requirements.
• Consider including a less competitive program among your choices. This will help maximize your chances!

We consider complete applications year round and we give priority to applicants who apply by official deadlines. Late applications will be considered if places are still available for the fall term only. 

Submitting documents

We recommend uploading your admissions documents rather than sending them by mail to prevent delays in the assessment of your application.

Your deadline to submit proof of English proficiency

Please keep in mind that we cannot complete the assessment of your application until we receive your English proficiency test scores. If we are missing your test scores, we will send you an email requesting them. You will have three weeks to submit your English proficiency test scores. If you are unable to meet that deadline, but you are scheduled to take an English proficiency test, please upload a copy of your scheduled or planned test date.

COVID-19

We know coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to present many challenges. We are aware that some applicants are experiencing difficulty registering for English language proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL. We are now accepting the Duolingo English Test, which does not require visiting a test centre. Please visit our English language proficiency page to see required scores.

If you have registered for an English language test, please upload your registration confirmation in your Student Centre so we know when to expect your language test results. Under "document type," choose “Note from student.”

If you are experiencing any other difficulties related to sending official documents because of COVID-19, please just let us know. The best way is to type up a note and upload it via your Student Centre. Under document type, choose "Note from student."

Many programs have departmental requirements that you must satisfy in addition to Concordia’s minimum admission requirements. Additional requirements might include portfolios, auditions, interviews, letters of intent, etc.

You must make arrangements to submit these additional requirements with the department you apply to.

Please consult the specific program page for more information on these requirements.

The academic year is based on three sessions: summer, fall, and winter.
