A waiting list is created when all the available seats in a program are filled by qualified applicants. Seneca is not able to predict if or when you will be offered a space in the program. However, seats may open up following key dates such as confirmation or payment deadlines.
Your status on the waiting list will not change even when you confirm an offer to another program at Seneca or another institution. Seats may become available anytime up to, and including, the first week of classes. If you receive an offer and have already paid tuition elsewhere, you may want to withdraw from the other program. If the program you are withdrawing from is at Seneca, you will be able to transfer your deposit from one program to another without penalty.
Please be advised that other institutions may charge a withdrawal fee, so it is recommended that you research their withdrawal refund policy before you confirm and pay your tuition
