About Your Offer

This webpage contains important information on conditional and alternate offers of admission.

What's a Conditional Offer of Admission?

Most offers of admission are conditional, which means you must satisfy certain conditions to enrol in your program. Read your offer of admission letter carefully to determine if your offer of admission has any conditions to it.

Satisfying Your Offer Conditions

Make sure your final grades meet the conditions outlined in your offer of admission. If you do not meet the conditions, your offer of admission will be revised to another program or rescinded. 

If you plan to take additional courses to upgrade your academic record and satisfy your offer conditions, you must let the Recruitment and Admissions Office know. 

If you are applying to a program in the Faculty of Science or the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, we consider repeated courses when calculating your admission average.

Upgrading Through Summer School (Ontario High School Applicants)

If you plan to attend summer school to upgrade your courses and satisfy your offer conditions, you must let us know by submitting the Summer School Registration Notification form. It is your responsibility to make sure your updated grades are also updated in your OUAC account by August 12, 2025.

Upgrading Through Spring and Summer Courses (All Other Applicants)

If you plan to enrol in spring or summer courses to complete your current program or upgrade your academic record, you must let us know by emailing chooselaurier@wlu.ca. Once you have accepted your offer you will no longer be able to upload documents to the portal. It is your responsibility to email us your unofficial final grades by August 23, 2025. We will respond to your email and let you know your deadline to submit your final official documents.
