Requirements
Admission Requirements: Mohawk's program page requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent (Mohawk Academic Upgrading or a GED also qualify), including Grade 12 English at the C or U level or equivalent, with senior Mathematics recommended rather than required. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate proficiency through one of: TOEFL 550 (80 internet-based), IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5, Duolingo 105-110 with no band below 100, or completion of Mohawk's GAS-English for Academic Purposes (478) program. Options are available for mature applicants who do not hold the standard secondary-school prerequisites, via Mohawk's own upgrading courses.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
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.
