1. Submission deadlines

To ensure your application is processed before the Census Date, please submit your application by the following deadlines:

2. Late applications and financial liability

Applications will not be accepted after the submission deadlines. This strict cut-off ensures your application is processed prior to the Census Date (Financial Penalty Date). If an application is approved after the financial penalty date by the School, the course/s for credit will be removed from the student record with no financial penalty. We strongly encourage all students to apply as early as possible.
