About Offers
If you are accepted to Laurentian University after applying, you will receive an offer letter in the myLaurentian Portal. If you’ve applied through the OUAC, the decision will also appear on the OUAC portal.
Page two of your offer letter will explain the type of offer you’ve received and whether you have any conditions to meet for you to become a Laurentian student.
Final offers
If page two of your offer has no conditions in the comment section, then you’ve received a final offer. This means that there is nothing you need to submit and there are no conditions you are required to meet to be enrolled.
Alternate offers
If you don’t meet all of the requirements for your selected program(s), you might receive an alternate offer of admission to programs you do qualify for.
To learn more about the suggested program(s), check the Undergraduate Programs page or email our Recruitment team.
If you don’t like the programs suggested in your offer and want to learn about other options, email the Office of Admissions at admissions@laurentian.ca.

Most offers of admission are conditional, which means that there are certain conditions you must meet or documents you need to submit to enrol in your program.
Conditions vary depending on the type of applicant you are. Read the comments included on the second page of your offer letter carefully and make sure to fulfill any conditions by the stated deadline.
