Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or acceptance as a mature applicant, plus English at the Grade 12 C or U level and Mathematics at Grade 12 C or U or Grade 11 Functions (MCR3U), or equivalent courses. Canadian citizens and permanent residents short of the English and/or mathematics prerequisites may instead qualify by passing Seneca's pre-admission test, and applicants who do not meet the subject requirements are directed to upgrading options. International applicants must additionally meet Seneca's own published English-language requirement, with further documents or assessments requested where needed; neither this program's page nor its admission-requirements page states an IELTS, TOEFL or other numeric test score, or a minimum grade average. The program's own page currently flags the offering as unavailable, though the stated admission requirements are recorded here for reference.
