Additionally, applicants from other countries will be considered for admission on the presentation of an academic program form an accredited high school or other educational institution which is the equivalent of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, including the equivalent of 6 grade 12 U/M level courses.  Satisfactory scores on college entrance examinations such as the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), or the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) may also be required for admission.
 
Students who are not residents of Canada may be eligible for the International Student Bursary - a bursary valued up to $3,500.  Distribution depends on demonstrated financial need.  Your Financial Aid Application (.pdf) must be submitted by March 31 to be considered.  For information about scholarships, bursaries and more, take a look at Financing Your Education.
 
British System of Education
Depending on the certificate held, the following minimum admission requirements are required:
  • General Certificate of Education (GCE) with passes in 5 subjects, at least 2 of which must be at the advanced level.  No subject area may be represented more than once.  An overall average of "C" must be attained on the 5 subjects.  Grades of "D" or lower will not be accepted; neither will grades of 7, 8 or 9 be accepted.
  • School & Higher School Certificates with credits on the school certificate are accepted as ordinary level passes on the GCE.  Subsidary passes on the Higher School certificates are accepted as ordinary level passes.  Grades of 7, 8, and 9 from School Certificates are not acceptable; neither are grades of "D" or lower.  The same minimum admission requirements apply for students submitting School and Higher School Certificates as for those submitting their GCE.
