Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent with Grade 12 English at the College (C) or University (U) level; applicants aged 19 or older without an OSSD may instead sit the college's Admissions Assessment for English or complete English upgrading. Candidates who meet the academic threshold are invited to an audition where they perform one memorized monologue and one memorized scene, both drawn from choices the program sets out; applicants request the scene list from [email protected] and pay a CAD 50 audition fee in cash or money order on audition day. Admission is competitive, weighing audition results and interview responses alongside a completed applicant questionnaire. No standardized English-proficiency test score is published for this programme. Students who advance must maintain minimum academic standing and passing acting grades each semester.
