Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Computer Network and Cybersecurity Diploma requires Grade 12 (or equivalent) or mature-student status, Pre-calculus 12 or Foundations of Mathematics 12 at a minimum C+ completed within the last two years, and English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 at a minimum of 73% (or equivalent). The page states no minimum GPA and no standardized English-proficiency test score of its own, and does not link to a separate detailed admission-requirements page; international applicants otherwise meet English through TRU's published direct-entry minimums of IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 20). Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until seats fill, against stated deadlines of May 1 for the fall term, September 1 for winter, and January 1 for summer. No portfolio, interview, or work-experience condition is published on the page.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to TRU: for the September (Fall) intake the deadline is 1 May, for January (Winter) it is 1 September, and for the May (Summer) intake it is 1 January; applications for most programs open 1 October, and a deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day. International applicants follow the same intake structure with deadlines of 1 May (September), 1 October (January) and 1 February (May); TRU still reviews later applications where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early, so admission runs on a rolling basis around these published cut-offs for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
