Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an OSSD/OSSGD or equivalent with courses at the general, advanced, (C), (U) or (M) level, including Grade 12 English at the (C) level or equivalent, or mature-student status; Grade 12 Mathematics at the (C) level or equivalent is recommended. The page sets no language-test scores itself, so Loyalist's institution-wide diploma requirement applies to international applicants: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL 550 paper-based or 80 iBT (no section below 20), CAEL 60 overall/60 writing, Duolingo 105+ (no band below 90), Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency, or Oxford ELLT 6. No interview, portfolio or criminal-record check is listed; industry placement partners may require additional materials, training or certifications, and Career and College Prep is available for academic upgrading.

Application Details

Start Date: September

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting September 2027 the application opens 26 September 2026 (Loyalist's own page describes this loosely as "early October"), the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027 - particularly important for competitive programmes - and later applications are assessed first-come, first-served while seats remain; offers must be accepted by 1 May 2027 with a tuition deposit due in June 2027. International applicants apply directly through Loyalist's International Application Service or an agent and are assessed on a rolling, individual basis; the college publishes no fixed international closing date, and each Letter of Acceptance states its own accept-and-pay deadline. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
