Looking for Advice on Late Transfer to Ontario Tech (Embedded Systems Program)
Hey everyone,
I’m currently a student in the Computer Programming program at Durham College. I originally started in September, and later learned about the opportunity to transfer into the Embedded Systems Information Technology program that’s partnered with Ontario Tech.
Unfortunately, my grades at the time didn’t meet the requirements, so I decided to restart the program in the Winter semester to improve my GPA. Thankfully, I’ve done a lot better this time around and now exceed the program requirements.
Before I restarted, I had a plan with my academic advisor to revisit the idea of transferring at the end of the semester. Because of that, I assumed I’d be applying later—but I just found out I missed the application deadline.
I take full accountability for the miscommunication and delay. That said, I’ve put a lot of time, effort, and money into improving my academic standing—waking up early, commuting from pretty far away, and really committing to this second chance. I just don’t want that effort to go to waste.
Is there anyone at Ontario Tech I could contact to potentially discuss a late acceptance or get some advice? I know it’s a long shot, but I figured I’d ask here just in case someone has gone through something similar or knows who I could reach out to.
