Requirements
Admission Requirements: The academic requirements below are Humber's Ontario baseline; an international applicant meets the equivalent standard for their own country of study through Humber's Academic Equivalency tool and then the same program requirements. Academic: an OSSD or accepted equivalent including Grade 12 English (ENG4C or ENG4U, or equivalent), Grade 12 Math - one of MAP4C, MCT4C, MDM4U, MCB4U, MGA4U, MCV4U or MHF4U (or equivalent), Grade 11 or 12 Biology (SBI3C, SBI3U or SBI4U, or equivalent) and Grade 11 or 12 Chemistry (SCH3U, SCH4C or SCH4U, or equivalent). Mature-student status or college/university transfer status are accepted in place of the secondary-school route. A Canadian citizen or permanent resident schooled abroad needs a credential assessment first - ICAS course-by-course for a secondary transcript, WES for post-secondary study. English is set by the regulator, not by Humber's general policy: the program is accredited by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs, and applicants must satisfy the NAPRA language proficiency requirements for licensure as a pharmacy technician in Canada. Where an IELTS Academic result is used, the minimums are Reading 7.0, Listening 7.0, Speaking 7.0 and Writing 6.5. The Duolingo English Test is not accepted for this program. Once you accept a seat, placement clearances may be required: immunisations and laboratory testing, TB screening, a police record check, and current First Aid and CPR certification.
