***Additional Education-Related Admission Option
If a prospective student does not have a grade 12 education certificate
which is equivalent to a Canadian secondary school certificate due to
any reason, the college will still consider the student for admission to
its programs if the student passes a qualifying test that has been
approved by the Superintendent (The Ministry of Training, Colleges and
Universities Ontario).
What qualifies you as a mature student?
“Mature Student Test” or “Mature Student Assessment”
Mature student status may be granted to applicants who are over 19 years old and do not have a high school diploma or GED.
