Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, including these required courses: One English, Grade 12 (ENG4C or ENG4U) plus One Chemistry, Grade 11 (U) or Grade 12 (C) One Math Grade 12 (U) or Math Grade 12 Mathematics for College Technology (MCT4C) or Math Grade 11 Functions (MCR3U) or Functions and Applications (MCF3M) One Chemistry, Grade 11 (U) or Grade 12 (C) One Math Grade 12 (U) or Math Grade 12 Mathematics for College Technology (MCT4C) or Math Grade 11 Functions (MCR3U) or Functions and Applications (MCF3M) or Mature student status. Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements will be invited to complete pre-admission tests in mathematics and English. Applicants asked to take the test are considered for admission to Term 1 contingent on receiving a minimum grade of 60% in both the pre-admission mathematics/English tests. Applicants lacking the Mathematics admission requirement for this program may wish to upgrade their Mathematics prior to application. For upgrading information, please contact us. Applicants may also consider applying to our Technology Fundamentals program. Successful completion of this program will meet the Mathematics requirement and will provide a broader sense of the Science and Technology fields.
Language Proficiency Requirements:
All applicants whose first language is not English must meet Sheridan’s English proficiency requirements.
