Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Mohawk's program page requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent (Mohawk Academic Upgrading or a GED also qualify), including five senior courses: Grade 12 English at the C or U level, Grade 12 Mathematics for College Technology (MCT4C) or any U-level Mathematics, and Grade 11 or 12 Biology, Chemistry and Physics each at the C or U level; the average of all five required courses must be 80% or higher. The admission tab publishes no English- or French-language test scores for this program, and no immunization requirement; it does state that clinical placement requires applicants not to have been convicted of an offence for which they have not been pardoned. Options remain available for mature applicants who do not hold the standard prerequisites.
Application Details
Start Date:September
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.
