Requirements
Admission Requirements: Mohawk's certificate-evaluation page requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, an equivalent (Mohawk Academic Upgrading or a GED), or Mature Student Status for applicants 19 or older, plus a pass in Grade 12 English at the C or U level or equivalent. Applicants with academic history completed outside Canada must provide an equivalency assessment from a recognized service such as ICAS, the University of Toronto's CES, or WES; no specific English-test score bands are published on this page. Applicants who do not meet academic eligibility may request a Pre-Admission Test by contacting Mohawk admissions directly. Library experience, strong communication skills and basic computer competency are recommended but not mandatory for admission.
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.
