Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent with Grade 12 English (C or U) at 70 per cent or better, Grade 11 Mathematics (M or U) or Grade 12 Mathematics (C or U) at 60 per cent, Grade 11 Biology (C or U) or Grade 12 Biology (U) at 70 per cent, and Grade 11 Chemistry or Physics (U) or the Grade 12 (C or U) equivalent at 60 per cent. English must be met with the course credit - this program does not accept a language proficiency test in its place. Mature applicants aged 19 or over without an OSSD may take the Admissions Assessment in English, mathematics or biology, or upgrade instead. Domestic applicants with international transcripts need an ICAS or WES equivalency evaluation; international applicants should check the country-specific requirements George Brown publishes for their credential level. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee a place and higher grades may be needed. Once accepted, new first-year and returning second-year students must register and show proof of Standard First Aid (renewed every three years), CPR level C (renewed yearly) and WHMIS training.
