Once your marks are in OUAC does anyone know how long it takes for you be confirmed as finally admitted (opposed to conditionally admitted)?

er... i dont remember if you actually get confirmed on admittance, maybe someone else does?

I think as long as you continue to meet the requirements of your conditional offer, than your acceptance is automatically understood.

then again i could be wrong.

This is the e-mail I got last year that pertains to that.

"Dear Feona,
Just a reminder that you must satisfy the conditions of your offer as outlined in your Offer of Admission letter. You must achieve a minimum final average of 75% including the required courses for Social Sciences I. You must also successfully complete your Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

Once we begin receiving academic information from the OUAC in mid-July, we will start the reviewing process.

If you are also required to satisfy the English Language Proficiency requirement condition, you must submit documentation to McMaster University by the deadline date."



I guess they're reviewing now or soon your marks and you will then be notified if you're accepted or not. Last year I received a package in the mail, with all sorts of welcome stuff and letters.

Okay - I met all the requirements so I guess I just have to wait for them to process it basically

Hmmm...that's a good question actually. The package with the Welcome stuff, didn't we get that when we got our acceptance letter?

Hmm. I was sorta fuzzy on remembering that too. I think you do... because I remember the nice folder with the CD in it, as well as little booklets and like 3 letters. But you wouldn't get an acceptance package if your marks haven't even been reviewed yet.

Ya, we got that with our acceptance letter I remember the CD lol

That's the offer of admission, but that's also a conditional offer. The next package we get, will be the confirmation that you met all the requirements, and that'll be the official and final "offer" of admission and acceptance.

Do you know when we might get that sara?

Im pretty sure you only get a letter with your student ID in August. Thats the only type of confirmation I remeber getting and also the welcome week info.

Yeah, I think that's all that you get, a letter with your courses and sticker, your McMaster student ID card and the welcome week information.

So will it just be an e-mail then?

Are you talking about the confirmation? I'm pretty sure receiving your MacID and sticker is the confirmation...

Ohh okay, makes sense. I just thought that maybe another letter of "congratuations on registration/accepting our offer" type of thing.. But I guess not . Thanks for clarifying.

well since you already received a conditional offer.. it basically says, if you continue to meet these requirements, this offer becomes a final offer of admission and your acceptance is guaranteed.
