Getting Started
Admission requirements vary by program, so the best way to learn about Admission Requirements for the program you are interested in is to book an appointment to meet one of our Education Consultants.
During this meeting, our team will discuss your career goals, to truly understand what you are looking for out of a career. From there, they can provide you with guidance about college diploma programs which best meet your own personal goals.
High School Graduates
For students using their high school diploma or GED to apply for a program, they must submit either an original copy of their high school diploma or an original copy of their high school transcript. This can be provided to the Admissions department to review. Some programs may require further entrance requirements like a general skills assessment.
College and University Graduates
Students may apply to programs using their previous education and may obtain some Advanced Standing for prior credits earned at other institutions.
Mature Student Applicants
If you have not completed high school, you may be eligible to apply to College as a Mature Student. In Ontario, a Mature student application can be made by someone who is over the age of 18 and has been out of school for more than one year and passes a general entrance assessment.
Second Career Applicants
