Program details

Overview

During the foundation year, students develop self-management skills, weigh education and career options, and build a solid academic base, exploring their sense of cultural identity through Indigenous language and teachings. Traditional teachings and smudging are worked into daily activities across each academic semester, spanning social activities, individual program courses, and visits from Traditional Teachers and Elders.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This certificate requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or mature student status; the programme's own page states no Grade 12 subject prerequisite beyond the OSSD. Mature applicants aged 19 or older, non-secondary-school applicants, and home-schooled applicants may also be considered on completion of upgrading, GED, or equivalency testing, and applicants with post-secondary coursework or relevant life and learning experience may qualify through Georgian's prior-learning credit evaluation. The page publishes no English-test scores, so applicants whose first language is not English fall under Georgian's general certificate-level requirement: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall or TOEFL iBT 79 overall. No portfolio, interview, or other special admission condition is stated for this Indigenous-focused General Arts and Science pathway.

Application Details

Start Date: September
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: 1 February 2027 is the equal-consideration date for Georgian's highly competitive programs, which now covers Fall 2027, Winter 2028 and Summer 2028 entry, and later applications are assessed first-come, first-served while seats last; offers of admission for this 2026-2027 cycle must be accepted by 1 May 2027. Programs outside the highly competitive list carry no equal-consideration date and are assessed on a rolling basis year-round. International applicants apply directly through Georgian's own portal with no published closing date and are assessed on a rolling basis while seats remain, though Georgian warns a program open when applied to may close before assessment. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
