Waitlist
The Office of the Registrar will admit or conditionally admit applicants into programs until no more seats are available. Once a program is full, qualified applicants are placed on a waitlist.
If a seat becomes available
NAIT will typically make an offer of admission to the waitlisted applicant who applied to the program first. So, it’s important to apply early and promptly submit all required documents.
Waitlists for Competitive Programs
There are 2 types of waitlists for competitive programs. You may be placed on a:
- Competitive waitlist if you meet all the competitive program requirements, but no seats are available at the time your application was reviewed.
- Non-competitive waitlist if you meet the minimum entrance requirements, but are missing one or more of the competitive requirements for the program.
Timelines
If seats become available, those on the competitive waitlist could get an admission offer any time before the program begins. Applicants on the non-competitive waitlist may receive an offer of admission if a seat becomes available within the six months before their program starts.
If you're accepted from the non-competitive waitlist to a competitive program, your first year at NAIT might be more challenging. Before you start, you may want to think about taking an Academic Upgrading course or studying those subjects where you didn't meet the competitive requirement.
