NOTE: You DO NOT need to meet the English proficiency requirements at the time of application. The University of Windsor provides conditional letters of admission for students who
do not meet the English proficiency requirement with the intent the student will satisfy the requirement by participating in our English Pathway Program (ELIP) or by another means prior to starting their academic
program.
Recommended Application Deadlines
Recommended application deadlines for UWindsor’s undergraduate programs are:
- May 1 for September admissions (Fall)
- Sept 1 for January admissions (Winter)
- Jan 1 for May admissions (Spring)
The above application deadlines are recommended to best ensure your program choice is available and enough time is available for student VISA processing. UWindsor does, however, admit qualified students after the
deadlines listed above, if the program has available space.

What to Expect Next
After submitting your application form, you can expect to receive an application acknowledgement email within five business days. This email will include instructions for (1) activating your UWin Account and (2)
accessing UWinsite Student, UWindsor’s student information platform.
Once you have accessed UWinsite Student, you will need to respond to the items in your To Do List, including uploading the following documents:
- Your official senior secondary education diploma*
- Your official senior secondary education transcripts*
- Your official post-secondary education diploma (if applicable)*
- Your official post-secondary education transcripts (if applicable)*
- Proof of your English language proficiency
- Your Portfolio (if applicable)
- Course descriptions* (only required if you are also applying for credit transfer)
* Translation is needed if the official documents are not in English and must be provided by an official translation service such as: (1) World Educational Service or (2) International Education Research Foundation.
After your documents have been received, they will be verified by UWindsor’s Office of the Registrar and the items on your To Do List in UWinsite Student marked as “Completed.”
It is only at this point – when all your documentation has been submitted and is in order – that evaluation of your application will begin. Evaluation, if there are no unique circumstances which require
further analysis, may take up to four weeks.
You can monitor the status of your application in UWinsite Student. You will also be notified by email when a decision has been made.
