Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with courses at the College, University, University/College or Open level, including Grade 12 English (C/U), or an equivalent route such as the Mature Student Assessment, the Canadian Adult Education Credential/GED completed before May 2024, or Academic and Career Entrance credits; no minimum grade or average is published. This intake is not open to international applicants, so no language-proficiency score is set for it. Students must arrange their own field-placement agency in their home community and submit a Placement Planning Form one semester ahead; agencies may require immunizations, a police check, or a vulnerable-sector criminal reference check depending on the setting. Fall, Winter and Spring intakes share the same requirements.

Application Details

Start Date: Fall, Winter and Spring
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry the application opened 26 September 2026 and the province-wide equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027; Confederation also publishes its own equal-consideration dates of 1 March for Winter-entry programmes and 1 April for Spring-entry programmes. After these dates, files are assessed on a rolling, first-come basis while seats remain, and the college flags Aviation, Health, Engineering Technology and Community Services programmes as filling quickly. International applicants apply via international.ocas.ca; intakes close roughly six weeks before each semester starts and a programme can close earlier once seats fill, so no fixed international closing date is published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
