Self-Placement for Candidates Without a Placement Match

If you were not matched with any school on your original list, you can access the Self-Placement platform to select from available schools with open spots. The self-placement portal allows students to choose their desired school, region, residential preference, and program. Students can change their self-placement options as many times as needed until they finalize their selection and enroll in a school.

This self-placement process enables candidates to have control over their selection, ensuring they find a school that best suits their needs and preferences.

Note on Finalizing Self-Placement Choices

Once a student confirms their self-placement choice by enrolling, the selection is locked. Candidates should review all options carefully before making a final decision. Schools with available spaces are loaded onto the portal for easy access, allowing candidates to explore options until they are satisfied with their choice.

For additional support, students are encouraged to consult their school administrators or visit a placement help center.

This article provides candidates with a clear, step-by-step guide on checking their placement results and making informed decisions about self-placement options if needed.
