Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires an OSSD with the majority of credits at College (C), University (U), University/College (M) or Open (O) level; no further Grade 12 courses are specified. Mature applicants without an OSSD may write the College's admission tests. The page sets no language score of its own, so the institution-wide certificate-level English requirement applies: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, TOEFL iBT 60, PTE Academic 52, CAEL 60, CELPIP General 7.0 in each module, or Duolingo 110, within two years. Applicants aiming to progress into a health-science programme should register for the Fall intake, since students who complete the certificate by May 1 receive first consideration for admission over those completing it later; further prerequisites depend on the specific health-science programme pursued afterward. Domestic applicants apply via Ontario Colleges; international applicants via International OCAS.
