Program details
Overview
The program is in-person, and students must attend on campus. The program offers specific courses online as part of the hybrid delivery. Classes are synchronous and are scheduled online class time with professors. Participation in the pilot project requires cameras to be turned on during lectures. Mohawk College is currently participating with the Law Society of Ontario in a 2-year pilot project permitting hybrid delivery of the Paralegal Program. Some courses will be delivered online. Students are required to participate in audio and video interaction during the classes. All online classes will be delivered live.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent (GED, Academic Upgrading, or College and Career Preparation accepted), including Grade 12 English at the C, U or equivalent level; Law and Justice studies courses are recommended but not mandatory. Mohawk offers alternative options for mature applicants who lack the standard prerequisite. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate proficiency through one of: successful completion of the GAS-English for Academic Purposes (478) program, a TOEFL score of 560 paper-based or 83 internet-based, an IELTS Academic overall score of 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or a Duolingo English Test score of 115-120 with no section below 105; further acceptable certificates are listed on Mohawk's International Admission Requirements page. No portfolio, interview or GPA requirement is stated.
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.
