Hey!! Can anyone guide us on what basis did the college gave away my seat even though I had paid the deposit fee of $1500?

i am so confused as I was on the verge of approving my loan. I wasn’t even near the deadline when they asked me to either defer the course or change to some other September courses (which were very irrelevant to what I wish to study)

can anyone help me out?

Unfortunately I dont think we can help you out or change your college decision. It is past May 15 for fall intake. They can refund your deposit or use it against next intake

Maybe they removed your seat because you didn't pay the tuition fee in time or keep them updated about your status. Another student probably completed his/her entire admission paying full fee before you.

It is not the case, tuition fee of one year have been paid before the deadline, but we are unaware of PPR ? What is it ? What might be the reasons they are doing it? This is the email they sent.

Hello everyone, Im in the same boat with you guys in terms of this catastrophe that Conestoga has allowed to unfold. Its almost a joke. I wanted to know if anyone was aware of this happening in the past or if the college has had a history of doing such.
I also paid all my fees on time for this Fall semester but was seemingly misled into beleiving that my position was secured on the program this whole time.
My course is already closed for Jan 2022 international intakes, which is hillarious because the collage is the reason I didnt manage to meet the deadline.

Id appreciate any info you guys come up with in your journeys through this situation.
I emailed the college on sunday and theyre still stone cold silent, they seem to always be inundated with communications.
