Admission to Sheridan programs is limited. As a result, not all qualified applicants can be admitted. A waiting list of eligible applicants is maintained for each program. Applicants are selected from that list until the program is full or up to the fifth day of class, whichever comes first.

Types of offers

Firm offers of admission

If your admission status is firm, you must accept your offer of admission by the deadline noted on your offer. A firm offer means that all conditions have been met.

Conditional offers of admission

If your admission status is conditional, you must accept your offer of admission by the deadline noted on your offer. You can view your conditions and outstanding requirements through . All conditions must be met by the date noted on the offer.

In the case of conditional offers of admission, Sheridan reserves the right to withdraw its offer of admission if the applicant does not meet the outstanding requirement prior to the start of the program.

Alternate offers of admission

Applicants may be considered for other, related programs.

How to accept your offer of admission

Accept your offer of admission by following the instructions on your offer letter. Don't miss the deadline posted in your offer, or your offer may expire.

Waitlists

When there are more qualified applicants than available seats, a waitlist is created. Being on the waitlist means you meet the admission requirements, but the program is currently full.

Waitlists are maintained until the fifth day of classes. If space becomes available, Sheridan will contact you immediately. Please ensure your contact information is up to date and check your Applicant Portal regularly for updates.

If you choose to accept another offer of admission, you will not lose your place on our waitlist.

We recommend considering another Sheridan program to add to your application. Review our program pages for available options.

We do recognize that being placed on a waitlist can be disappointing, but we ask for your patience as we solidify our student numbers and release offers when possible (up to the fifth day of classes).
