I haven't seen a post for Fall 2021 yet so here it is!
My choices are:
1. UofT
2. McMaster
3. Nipissing SPP
I started my OUAC application in November and now trying to work on the supplemental packages. My CASPer Test is on January 12, 2021.
I need to take Anatomy and Physio course(s) however, I'm having a hard time figuring out what would satisfy the requirements from all three universities. My options so far are:
1. Take CBLG 101 in Winter and CBLG 111 in Spring at Ryerson. However final grade will be in June; hoping that's fine. This satisfies all 3 unis
2. Take SCS 2159 in Winter from UofT which is enough for UofT and McMaster but not for Nipissing. I have to take an Anatomy course just for Nip.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from back home, been working as an RECE in Toronto the last 8 years, have a Diploma in Nonprofit Management at Ryerson. My cGPA is 3.55 which I'm worried about. Lots of extra curricular activities from university and volunteering here in Toronto. I still have to compute the GPA for the last two years.
I requested WES to send my transcripts to Nip and McMaster and asked my old uni to send to UofT.
It's been an expensive application so far; really hoping I get in! Looking forward to chatting with you all and sharing our experiences.
Hey guys! When Nipissing wants proof of graduation, is a final transcript okay or does there need to be some sort of official letter or document proving we graduated?

Thanks! Congrats on your acceptance!
Hey, did Nipissing ask you for a proof of graduation? They haven't asked me for it.

Hey yeah they did! In the offer letter it says "Proof of graduation and/or prerequisite course(s) completed must be received by June 30. ...You are responsible for ordering an official transcript to be sent to Nipissing when current studies are completed and degree is awarded."
So that makes me assume that we have to only submit a final official transcript
Does anyone know if there are presentations and exams in Nipissing? I'm looking at the "classes" we have to take and there isn't course outlines I could really find. I read on reddit that Nipissing has make or break exams that are like 80% for a pass, the reddit post was years ago and IDK how much the program has changed.
Hi! I'm an internal transfer as well (applied through OUAC not the returning student form) but for some reason my application shows as incomplete because it says I need to upload my final transcript! I've tried emailing them as well but no luck! Did you have a similar issue at any point?
I don't think my portal ever said I needed to upload my final transcript! Also on the admissions website (https://nursing.mcmaster.ca/prospective-students/admission) it says that returning students don't need to submit transcripts! I've just finished second year at Mac but I did upload my current transcript (without this past Winter semester grades) a few months ago just because it was on my to do list and there was an upload button LOL. But otherwise, I haven't had that issue. Maybe try emailing them again?
Hey everyone I woke up this morning and checked my western portal. To my surprise it says there are “missing documents”. The missing document which they added yesterday is that they need a detailed description of my statistics course to see if it meets requirements. I already uploaded it as soon as I saw it, but the portal said I had until June 21st.
Does this affect my chance of receiving an acceptance? Are they still giving acceptances out or only waitlisting people? Has this happened to anyone else? What’s funny is I emailed them months ago and they said they had everything they needed so for them to bring this up doesn’t make sense.

Thats so odd! I don't see it under my to do list, only when I click complete requirements. When you uploaded yours a few months ago did you do it through ouac or mosaic? If you did it on mosaic, could you share how? I'm not too sure how to access official transcripts in pdf form to upload haha
Congrats to all those who have been accepted. I'm currently still pending for McMaster and hoping for the best.
I’m currently pending as well, I’m hoping we hear good news soon. I checked McMaster’s website this morning and it said they were expanding the number of applicants they would be accepting for the basic and accelerated programs that was posted in May
