Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires a postsecondary diploma, advanced diploma or degree in business, finance, applied computing, information technology, computer science or an equivalent field. Applicants outside those fields may instead qualify through demonstrated competence, evidenced by educational and/or related work experience; they must submit a Canadian-format resume outlining their academic background and relevant business, finance, IT, computer science or applied-computing experience, including unpaid/volunteer work. Selection for this alternative route weighs postsecondary academic achievement together with related work experience. Domestic applicants submit postsecondary transcripts through ontariocolleges.ca, with foreign credentials assessed through ICAS or WES; international applicants submit official transcripts with notarised English translations where needed. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Sheridan's English Proficiency Requirement for degree, master's and graduate-certificate programmes: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 21, PTE Academic 60 with no section below 57, or Duolingo English Test 115 with no sub-score below 95.
Application Details
Start Date:January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the application opened 26 September 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers can go out from 1 November 2026, with portfolio- and audition-based programmes deciding later in March; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Winter and Spring/Summer 2027 entry use the same portal but Sheridan publishes no fixed equal-consideration date for them and reviews those on an ongoing basis. International applicants apply directly through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; the college publishes no fixed international deadline and admits on a rolling, space-permitting basis, so early application is advised for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
