Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or mature-student status at 19 years of age or older. Required subjects are Grade 12 English at a C (minimum 60%) or U (minimum 50%) level, or Conestoga's Preparatory Communications (COMM1251) at a minimum of 60%, and Grade 12 Mathematics at a C (minimum 60%) or U (minimum 50%) level, or Conestoga's Preparatory Mathematics (MATH1375) at a minimum of 60%. Conestoga requires a minimum academic strength average of 65% across the required subjects. 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. Non-Canadian transcripts require a course-by-course credential evaluation from an approved provider.

Start Date:Intake months: January and September. Start dates listed by Conestoga on 6 September 2026, for domestic and international applicants alike: September 2026 and January 2027 at Kitchener – Doon and Online. An individual campus intake may already be closed.
Application Deadline:No deadline specific to this program is published. Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca, where the college-wide equal consideration date is 1 February 2027 for entry in Fall 2027: the application opened on 26 September 2026, offers may be issued from 1 November 2026, and an offer must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Applications are still accepted after 1 February in most Conestoga programs, but most oversubscribed programs stop accepting them on that date, and that date covers fall entry only, so apply as early as possible for a start in another term. International applicants have no fixed deadline - applications are assessed first-come, first-served in the OCAS international applicant portal until the program reaches capacity.
