FAQ

Admission questions

Read your acceptance letter carefully, visit and read the Welcome Guide for New Concordians, then contact the department you were admitted into for Advising/Registration. Pay your confirmation fee.

You can book an appointment to see one of the Academic Counsellors in the Faculty of Arts & Science by contacting (514) 848-2424 ext. 2104.

If you would like to be considered for the next program choice on your application, you can do so through the Application Centre in your Student Centre.

Click on the "View Status" button and "Start the confirmation process" which will allow you the option to "Change" and decline your current program choice.

You must ensure that the program you would like to be considered for is still accepting new applications and that you are able to fulfill the admission requirements.

If you do not meet the conditions of your admission, you may no longer qualify to enter the program to which you were conditionally admitted. If there are extenuating circumstances that affected your ability to meet the conditions of your admission, you should send a letter of appeal as soon as possible to the individual who signed your Offer of Admission. This letter must include a detailed description of these circumstances, and supporting documentation.

Your admission is valid for only one term, unless otherwise indicated on your Offer of Admission, and cannot be deferred to another term. If you do not register for the term to which you were admitted, you must reapply. Documents sent in support of your original application will not need to be resubmitted.
