Hello, I received my offer of admissions for UVIC online (may entry) today. So the way it works from what I have read throughout the website is this. Yes you have been waitlisted for the BSW (2 year program) that starts in may. But there is a chance that individuals will not register and or decline the offer of admissions by Uvic, and if that is the case and if you are on the top of the waitlist, then they will immediately contact you that there is a spot available for the May entry. You will have the chance to accept and register ASAP to start the may-august summer term and then proceed into the 2-year program commencing in September 2017. If you are not on the top of the waitlist and or if no one declined the offer of admissions to UVIC, they will still consider you for admissions for the individuals that have applied to the September 2017 (You probably remember in the application choosing if you are attending the summer entry or September entry). They will look closely to see if any individuals have declined their September 2017 BSW entry offer of admissions. If there is a slot open for the September 2017 entry, then they will also contact you (mid april) to notify you.
Over-all, i know this is a very long explanation but i hope it makes it a little clearer. if you have any questions feel free to PM me and i will get back to you. This is also a qoute from the UVIC website in regards to the admissions
" There are a limited number of seats available for May entry. After the maximum number of applicants have been admitted for May, the remaining May applicants may be considered for September entry if eligible in terms of overall score."
" After the School of Social Work has made all offers of admission, a waitlist of qualified applicants MAY be created (September entry point only). Applicants placed on the waitlist will receive an email indicating this. As admitted applicants decline their offers of admission, the School will offer admission to those waitlisted. The waitlist will be ongoing and remain active normally until late July, at which time it will be closed and any remaining applicants on the waitlist will be declined admission"
