Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (O.S.S.D.) or equivalent with Grade 12 English at the College (C) or University (U) level.

Domestic applicants without the required English course may instead complete a Mature Student Assessment in English, or pursue Academic Upgrading at the college to meet the prerequisite. No portfolio, interview, work experience, or other condition is stated on either page.
