Requirements

Admission Requirements: This Ontario College Advanced Diploma is entered from an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, with Grade 12 English at the C or U level; applicants 19 or older without an OSSD may apply under mature-student status and satisfy the English requirement through the George Brown Admissions Assessment or academic upgrading. Meeting these minimums does not guarantee a seat, and George Brown notes that admitted grades can run higher than the stated floor. The programme page has no English-proficiency section of its own; applicants schooled outside Ontario are held to George Brown's institution-wide English Language Proficiency policy for diploma and certificate programmes, which accepts IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with a minimum of 5.5 in each skill band, or TOEFL iBT 80 overall with a minimum of 20 in each skill band, among other tests. College or university credits already earned may qualify for course exemptions. Intakes run in January and September.
