Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or mature-student status at 19 years of age or older, plus Grade 12 compulsory English at a C (70%) or U (60%) level, or equivalent, or Conestoga's Preparatory Communications (COMM1251). Applicants whose prior instruction was not in English must demonstrate English language proficiency; the programme page names no score of its own, so Conestoga's published diploma-level minimum applies: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 80 with no skill below 20, PTE Academic 53, or Duolingo 110. Canadian applicants with credentials from outside Canada require a course-by-course credential evaluation through an approved provider. Conestoga notes that a sound English background is important for success in this program and is considered during the admission selection process, and that minimum cutoffs apply though specific cutoff scores are not published.
