For most students new to NTC, a non-refundable tuition deposit is required in order to accept your offer of admission and confirm a spot in your program. Your spot in the program is not confirmed until we receive your payment. You will have until 15 June (fall admissions) or 30 Nov. (winter admissions) to make payment or to two weeks from the issuance of your offer of admission whichever is later. If you fail to meet the deadline, your offer will be cancelled.

Deferred Admission

Deferred Admission Process

An offer of admission to NTC is made for a specific academic start term.  If you are unable to attend or choose to take a gap year for the term specified, you may be eligible to defer your acceptance to a future term.

Registration post admission is acceptable up to one year following the admission decision. Application materials are good for one year from the point of application, except for police checks which must be current. Scholarships and financial aid cannot be deferred, so admitted students would need to reapply for those awards each year.

Requests for deferred admission will be accepted up to the add/drop deadline of the term you have been accepted to enter. No requests will be reviewed after this date. See the relevant Academic Schedule for the add/drop dates.

Request a deferral by emailing the Registrar at Registrar@newman.edu and outlining the reason you are requesting a deferral.  Please briefly describe your intended activities between now and when you plan to begin your studies.

Upon receipt of your request an Admissions Counsellor will contact you to:

1.       Outline your next steps in the deferral process (i.e. paying the $150.00 admission deposit to hold your spot until next year); or

2.       Outline your options if the deferral is unavailable to you.

Once your request has been reviewed you will receive an email notification informing you of the decision.

Once you have accepted your admission offer and paid the tuition deposit, you will be eligible to register in courses after you have consulted with your faculty advisor. In the meantime, you can browse courses and build a sample schedule based on current course offerings. Course registration will open in April for the following fall term in any academic year.

Admission decisions may be made using interim or unofficial transcripts. After admission, if final transcripts were not available at the time of application, they must be received by the College by the last business day of the month in which the student begins study at the College.
