Mature students are classified as those who are 21 years of age or older by September 1 of the entry year, with no post-secondary education. Every application for admission as a mature student is considered on its own merit.

  • Three must be standard (Examples: Math, Science, Social Studies, Languages, Fine Arts).
  • The remaining course may be any academic or non-academic grade 12 course carrying normal weight.
    • cannot be special projects or work experience.
    • two courses of lower course weight may be substituted for this fifth course.
• A minimum overall average of 60% on the above five courses.
• Must meet all program-specific requirements.
