Yes, they are accepting 80 for September. Maybe, they will accept people off the waitlists into the next start if they don't have enough qualified candidates? Just a thought.
You never know but for the first cohort there was over 150 applicants. Glad to see they are accepting more. I have faith in you all!!

That is a valid concern.I was told i could be offered a seat for January, even though i have applied for September. I wonder how many of the 80 spots are going to be offered to applicants from the May intake. I would be happy either way, but this may delay offers.
I feel like the may entry was told that if they did not got accepted they would be considered for septemeber but i somehow feel that isnt true just because any other school if you are denied you have to reapply. For our may cohort there is about 45 students so i am not sure but maybe the acceptance has gone up.to 80?

Just a question, throughout the 2.5 years of the program, do you get any breaks at all? Or is it straight going for that whole time?
Just a week or two between each class or semester! This semester it was a 6 week class 2 weeks off another 6 week class 2 weeks off before second semester!

Applied to MSW (online/part-time) at Wilfred Laurier, for September. I see from reading previous posts that admissions was very delayed for May intake. I was under the impression from my advisor that it is rolling admission and my application would be viewed by admissions within 2 weeks. Has anyone else been given similar information for September intake? There isn't even an application deadline as of yet. Im assuming now that they have completed offers for May (online) and September( on campus) that things won't be as delayed.
Thats what they tild us originally but we found out 2 weeks before. Lol

Thanks for all your help! I’m definitely going to apply. I got accepted into Windsor but I would rather not live there and spend money etc etc. If you don’t mind me asking, what was your average and did you have lots of relevant experience? Also, do you know how many people they allow to do this? One course at a time sounds really good so that you can really focus.
Hi there
I have an undergraduate degree in psych with a these and research experience- average was 83%, and a post grad in concurrent disorders with a 95% average. I have 3 years of volunteer and 4 years of paid work experience as a case manager at CMHA and also worked in a clinical detox. I also teach part time for a college course in issues and ethics.
They took 52 students this year I was told hope this helps.

Hey guys,
does anyone know how the process works if I accept one offer and then get another one and accept that one instead? Can I do that? Also, does anyone have information of the 2 year online MSW offered at Laurier for Sept 2018? Such as what the structure is like and how many people they take?
Hi there,
I have only applied to laurier online program for May and have been accepted and will be attending. It is six week courses one at a time for 2.5 years. There is a small break (a week) between each course. There is also a placement component. I would apply and I am sure in a few months you will have feedback from us who have started. It is all that works for me so I'm looking forward to it and blessed to start!!

No problem. I've been reading everything on the Laurier website (which is actually where I found that link) tonight and did look at the online stuff briefly... you would have a lot of field placement with that program according to the schedule but it doesn't give you an actual number of hours.
https://students.wlu.ca/programs/social-work/msw/program-requirements/index.html
Hey all I believe the hour requirements are the exact same for the online program! We were told from the get go wed have to reduce our full time work hours during placement time to balance the two. Hope this helps!!

ahh ok. Did Miljiana tell you this when you got the offer or when you applied? Maybe they reviewed your application back in January when they though they were doing rolling admissions so they already had a decision made?
I havnt spoke to Miljana since my offer came in! She told me this the day I finished my application.
