When you choose communications
On the application or after — the Bachelor of Arts (PA, 70% minimum) is a genuinely undeclared door, and you choose a major from the twenty inside it.
What to watch for
Nipissing has no communications major. English Studies, chosen inside the Bachelor of Arts, is the nearest. Nipissing admits to the Bachelor of Arts as one OUAC code, PA, at a 70% minimum, and nearly every arts major is chosen inside it rather than applied to separately. Only Criminal Justice (PAJ) and History with Orientation to a Master's (PAH, 80%, limited enrolment) have their own codes. Nipissing's own concurrent-education listings describe the BA entry as 'Undeclared'.
The same application also gets you to
Bachelor of Arts is the entry point for 9 other majors at Nipissing. You are not choosing between these at application time.
