Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Certificate or Ontario Secondary School Diploma, or equivalent, including Grade 10 English at the L level or equivalent; Mohawk notes that workplace and locally developed credits counting toward an OSSC or OSSD are accepted for entry to this program, and options exist for mature applicants who do not hold a diploma. Applicants whose first language is not English will be required to demonstrate proficiency in English, but the programme page does not publish specific test names or scores for this requirement; applicants short of the academic requirement can complete upgrading courses at Mohawk before applying.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through Ontario Colleges: for a September start Mohawk's equal-consideration date is 1 February (1 February 2027 for the next fall intake), and for a January start it is 1 June; after either date, files are considered first-come, first-served while seats remain, with permanent residents of Ontario prioritized, then other Canadian residents, then international applicants. International applicants apply via OCAS's International Application Service on a per-intake deadline rather than one annual date: for January 2027 entry, applications opened February 2026 and the submission deadline is 1 November 2026; Mohawk had not yet published a deadline for the September 2027 intake as of this check. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
