Required subjects are Grade 12 compulsory English at a C (minimum 60%) or U (minimum 50%) level, or Conestoga's Preparatory Communications (COMM1251), 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%. Academic strength is calculated by averaging marks in the required subjects, and the minimum average considered is 65%. 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.
