Admission requirements for Mature applicants

Admission review process

The Mature Student category is available to applicants who:

  • do not possess a conventional basis for admission such as a high school or CEGEP diploma, or
  • do not meet the minimum academic听requirements and have no academic studies within the last five years that would constitute a basis for admission.

Strict conditions for eligibility apply to the Mature Student category, including demonstrating academic potential by completing a minimum number of specific courses within the last three years.听

Eligibility for admission to 海角社区 as a Mature student depends on the academic history of the applicant.听Mature status will be validated by 海角社区 admissions staff听only听after the application and all relevant supporting documents have been submitted.听Mature applicants are required to have completed additional university or college level coursework during the last 3 years to demonstrate their academic potential.听Any previous studies will be taken into consideration and may serve as the basis for admission if deemed more suitable than Mature status. See below for program-specific requirements and further information.

NOTE:听The Desautels Faculty of Management is currently not admitting Mature applicants.

Conditions for eligibility:

  • Canadian citizenship or Canadian permanent residency
  • 23 years of age or older by the start of classes听(21 years of age for the Faculties of Management and Music)
  • No high school, college or university level studies within the last five years that would constitute a basis for admission
  • Two letters of reference
  • Mature Student Statements:
    • Letter of Intent, including description of all听educational experiences
    • Complete resume of employment and other activities, highlighting points relevant to the application
  • In some cases, an interview may be required
  • Demonstrate academic potential by successfully completing a minimum number of specific courses (see 'Minimum grades & prerequisites'听below)听within the three-year period prior to admission听and no later than May 15th of the year of application for the intended program (May 1 for some programs).听 These courses, which may be completed at CEGEP or university, will also fulfill prerequisites for the intended program.听

Each applicant is considered on an individual basis, based on all elements in the file. Admission to 海角社区 is competitive and subject to availability of space. As such, submitting the published requirements does not guarantee admission.
