Within 2 weeks of your interview, you are able to view the results on your Online Self-Service checklist, regardless of your application status.
Only once all entrance requirements and documentation submissions have been completed, then your application status will be updated and you will be informed of your application decision by KPU Admissions.

Your application decision will be one of the following:
- Offered admission to the Graphic Design for Marketing program, or
- Waitlisted for entry to the Graphic Design for Marketing program, or
- Not accepted into the Graphic Design for Marketing program at this time. If you are not accepted into the Graphic Design for Marketing program, you are encouraged to develop your knowledge, skills, and portfolio and begin reapplying as early as October 1, 2024 for the September 2025 intake.
