Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, including Grade 12 English at the C or U level and Grade 11 Math (M or U) or Grade 12 Math (C or U). Applicants 19 or older without an OSSD may apply as mature students and sit George Brown's Admissions Assessment for English and Math, or upgrade to obtain the needed Math credit. Selection is competitive, so meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission and applicants may need grades above the stated minimum. College or university credits may qualify for course exemptions through George Brown's Transfer Guide. International applicants should consult George Brown's International Admissions page for country-specific academic and English-proficiency requirements, since this page does not publish its own IELTS or TOEFL score bands.
