Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or acceptance as a mature applicant, plus a Grade 12 C or U English course and a Grade 12 C or U (or Grade 11 U or M) mathematics course, each or equivalent. Canadian citizens and permanent residents who fall short of either subject may instead qualify by passing Seneca's own pre-admission test, and the college offers upgrading options for applicants who do not meet the academic subject requirements. International applicants must separately satisfy Seneca's English-language requirements beyond the standard admission criteria above. No portfolio, interview, GPA minimum, or work-experience condition is listed on the program's admission requirements page.
