Applicants who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents must have valid immigration documents to begin their studies. For more information, please consult the international students section on the entrance requirements page.
Step 1: Do your research
Research your program of interest to make an informed decision. Review our entrance requirements for a quick summary of the program prerequisites or consult our frequently asked questions page for any other question. Remember, you can choose a first-choice and a second-choice program. We recommend the following:
- For your first-choice program, always choose one with a higher entrance requirement than your second-choice program.
- Don't apply to two profiles or concentrations within the same program that have the same entrance requirements.
Step 2: Fill out your application
Apply online via the Omnivox portal. Find out which documents to upload along with your application, but please do not upload letters of recommendation, awards or certificates.

- Overall average of both final Secondary IV results and Secondary V term 1 and term 2 results
- Performance in each program-related and/or prerequisite course
- Performance in each required English and/or French course
Admissions decisions for the Winter semester will posted as of mid-November. Admission decisions for the Fall semester will be posted daily as of mid-March and into April. Acceptance is conditional until you graduate from high school, and have successfully completed all entrance requirements and applicable program prerequisites.
