Admission Requirements: Admission requires a two- or three-year college diploma, a university degree, or an equivalent credential; applicants with international transcripts are directed to the college's transcript-evaluation page. Domestic applicants below the minimum academic standard may request an alternate admission assessment through OCAS, though this does not guarantee a place. The programme page states no English-language score of its own, so the institution's Graduate Certificate-level requirement applies: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 83 (4.5 overall for tests from 21 January 2026), TOEFL Computer-based 220, CAEL overall 60, Duolingo English Test overall 120 with no sub-score below 95, PTE Academic 60, or Cambridge English 180, as published on St. Lawrence College's admission-requirements page.
