Applying to a course with an Accreditation Partner has multiple steps:
This Oshki-Wenjack application form will start the process and will ask for detailed information such as:
You will receive a confirmation within four business days.
Create an OCAS account and fill out the application. Search for your program choice first and then select the Oshki campus.
There is a non-refundable fee of $150 (subject to change) payable by debit or credit card. If you do not have a debit or credit card, our recruitment team can help you arrange it.
After your completed application is submitted, you will need to check back into your OCAS account and watch for an official offer letter to the program of your choice, and then you must accept the offer in a timely manner. Offers do expire.
Please keep in mind that books are not included in tuition and need to be purchased separately.
