Waitlist
A number of our programs are considered Highly Competitive, these programs typically receive a high volume of applications and in this case a waitlist is created for qualified applicants for whom there are not enough seats in the program. You may be sent an Offer of Admission off the waitlist until the first week of class. Have questions about the Waitlist? Visit our FAQ page.
If you are put on the waitlist you can apply to another program without affecting your position on the waitlist. You can have as many as three active applications to Algonquin at a time.
