Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with the majority of courses at the College (C), University (U), University/College (M) or Open (O) level plus Grade 12 English (ENG4U, ENG4C, EAE4C or EAE4U), as stated on the programme's own admission-requirements page; senior-level Biology is recommended but not required. Mature applicants are directed to the College's general Admission Procedures. A Vulnerable Sector Police record check is required before classes begin in both Year 1 and on return for Year 2, and most placement sites expect COVID-19 vaccination though it is not required for college attendance itself.
