Program details
Overview
Urban Planning and GIS is a two-year Ontario College Diploma delivered in hybrid format at Conestoga's Guelph campus, introducing the vital role urban and regional planners play in developing and improving human settlements. Students discover how sectors such as housing, transportation, parks and industry interconnect, and how these activities affect the natural environment and community well-being. The program teaches students to apply planning theory and geographic information systems to shape the urban form.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or mature-student status for applicants 19 or older. The programme asks for Grade 12 compulsory English at C or U level, or equivalent, or Conestoga's own Preparatory Communications (COMM1251), plus Grade 11 Mathematics at C or U level, or equivalent, or Preparatory Mathematics (MATH1375). Conestoga notes that a sound English background is essential for success in the programme and is considered during selection, with minimum cut-offs applied, though it does not publish a specific test-score table on this page; applicants whose prior education was not in English should expect to meet Conestoga's general English-language-proficiency requirement. Canadian citizens and permanent residents holding transcripts from outside Canada need a course-by-course credential evaluation from a service such as ICAS or WES. Academic strength for selection is calculated by averaging the marks in the required subjects, with bonus points added for advanced-level, OAC, U or U/C, or post-secondary coursework.
