Program pages and brochures will include specific information including key dates, or see our Refunds & Cancellation Policies page.

Once a program reaches capacity, a waitlist will be created. This does not guarantee your registration in the program; however, it places you on a priority contact list. If any spots become available, you may be notified by email or phone to confirm if you would like to proceed with the registration. Once contacted, you will typically be given 24 hours to confirm your interest.  If you do not confirm interest within the provided timeframe, you will be removed from the waitlist and the next person will be contacted.

A selection of our Certificates are eligible for OSAP funding.  

For more information,  please visit OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) | OSAP | York University.

Please note the following exceptions that may affect OSAP funding eligibility for our certificates: 

• Students receiving Second Career funding for a micro-credential during their study period are ineligible; 
• Although grants will not be converted to loans, a grant may become repayable if a student withdraws, is determined to be overpaid in grant funding, or income cannot be verified within one year; 
• A student cannot receive OSAP for micro-credential assistance for their study period if it overlaps with another micro-credential study period in which they are concurrently receiving OSAP for micro-credential funding.  However, students may overlap their micro-credential study period with a study period that is part of a different full- or part-time program that they are concurrently receiving funding for through Full-Time OSAP or Part-Time OSAP, provided that OSAP funding was not assessed for the micro-credential course(s) through a Full-Time or Part-Time OSAP application.

NOTE:  In order to obtain access to the program, full payment is required at least 1 business day prior to the first module of the program.
