Congratulations and welcome to Goodman!

As a newly admitted student, you will have many questions about your offer of admission. The information on this page will help you understand your offer of admission and the next steps.

Admission letter
Admission letters are issued by the central Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs Office at Brock University, on behalf of the Goodman School of Business. Admission letters will be uploaded electronically to the ‘Application Status’ section of your my.brocku.ca account within a week of the admission decision.

Responding to your offer of admission
After receiving your admission letter, please ensure that you carefully review the offer details and any conditions which may be attached to the offer. You will have 3 weeks from the date that the offer letter is issued to respond to our offer of admission. Please accept or decline our offer through your my.brocku.ca account.

Paying your deposit
If you accept our offer of admission, you will be required to submit a tuition deposit to secure your seat in the program. Details of the deposit, including amount, will be included in your offer of admission letter and/or emailed to you after the offer is accepted. Program deposits are non-refundable except in instances of visa/study permit rejection.

Please note that you are able to pay your deposit as soon as your offer of admission letter has been posted. A list of valid payment methods can be found on the Methods of Payment page. Please note that this program deposit will not show up as a charge in your financial history so there will be no ‘Due Now’ balance displayed when you pay.

See the Deposit FAQ page for more information.

Submitting Final Documents
Students accepting their offer of admission will often need to provide official documents to finalize their admission. Final documents that need to be submitted are listed as “Owing to Finalize Admission” on your my.brocku.ca account in the ‘Document Status’ section. Final documents must be submitted to the central Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs Office at Brock University, not the Goodman School of Business. Please refer to this page for instructions about how to submit final documents.

Note: The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs Office will automatically upload final Brock transcripts for students who studied at Brock. This will be done once the degree has been conferred.

Graduate Student Communication Portal
As a new Goodman grad student it is very important that you become familiar with using the Goodman Graduate Portal Communication System. You will use the Graduate Portal for all written correspondence with the Goodman Grad Office staff and your Graduate Program Academic Advisor/Coordinator from now on.

As an applicant, you currently already have an active account in the Graduate Portal as a ‘prospective student’. Once you accept our offer of admission, your Graduate Portal account will be converted to that of a ‘current student’ and you will be given direct access to communicate with your Academic Advisor/Coordinator. Your Academic Coordinator will be your main point of contact throughout your program. The Academic Coordinator can provide information about program planning, registration, academic progression, and more.  Once you have accepted your offer/paid your deposit you will begin using your Brock CampusID to login (Campus ID example: ab12cd and password). These credentials are the same as the ones used to log in to your my.brocku.ca account. Please keep these details safe and confidential as you will need them throughout the duration of your degree.

Registration
You will be provided with information about how to proceed with registering for courses once you have accepted your offer and your deposit payment has been received. Depending on the time of year that you are admitted, registration may or may not be open yet for the subsequent terms. Registration will typically open in June. You will receive additional email instructions about registration closer to the start of the registration period.

Brock Email
As a Brock student, official communications will be sent to your Brock email account. Once you have accepted our offer, please ensure that you check your Brock email and your personal email regularly as we phase in the use of your Brock account for all communications. Once you are a registered student, Brock offices will only send correspondence to your Brock email account.
