Fall 2026 (Programs with waitlists of more than 15)

Updated: February 26, 2026

Winter 2027

Processing of Winter 2027 applications will begin in mid‑February 2026. Programs with waitlists of more than 15 applicants will be updated in April.

Important Notes:

• Canadian and Permanent Resident applicants can apply to any program, including those with waitlists.
• If you meet the admissions requirements for one of the programs with waitlists of more than 15, your application will be placed on the waitlist. Waitlists can change quickly, especially as it gets closer to the start of the program, but due to the number of applicants already ahead in the queue, it is unlikely that you will be offered a seat for the intake you applied for. 
• After enrolment is finalized, waitlisted applicants will receive an email offering to move their application to the next (same term) intake (i.e. from Fall 2026 to Fall 2027). If no response is received within the required timeframe, the application will be cancelled, and a new application would be required.
• NBCC follows a First Qualified, First Accepted admissions process, so early applications—even to waitlisted programs—can significantly improve your chances of being admitted to a future intake.
• Grade 11 Students: If your program of interest currently has a waitlist, consider applying on April 1st (or as soon as possible after this date) to maximize your chances of admission.
