Hey there!

Well, considering university is usually where kids go to indulge in debauchery whenever they goddamn please, I’m gonna go with “not very religious at all.” Naturally, I can’t speak for everyone, and yeah, they do have a church in their little plot of land, but never have I ever considered St. Mike’s College to be a religious place. It might’ve been many many years ago in its founding, but now? Nah. So have no fear. No one’s going to be pushing their beliefs down your throat or anything equally irritating.

And did he really not realize it’s Catholic? I mean, it’s called Saint Michael’s… Did he confuse the “St.” bit of the name with street, perhaps? Straight? Stanza?

But if being in this saintly college is really a problem for him, here’s what he might have to do:

1.) If he’s accepted his offer, he’ll have to write a lovely letter to his new college of choice explaining why, for example, UC is for the one for him and why he’s the one for UC.

2.) If he has NOT been admitted yet and his status on Join UofT is “pending” or “not complete,” then he’ll have to contact Enrollment Services to make the request.

3.) Or lastly, if his status is “under review”…. um, well nothing can be done at the moment, and he’ll have to wait until he’s received an offer to proceed into option 1.

Hope this helps!
