English language proficiency

• Further proof of English language proficiency is normally not required with completion of two years of instruction in this curriculum. Applicants who complete the diploma program in a language of instruction other than English or who have completed English B as the course used to fulfill the English subject area requirement, will be required to demonstrate English language proficiency through a standardized test.

Competitive program entry (if applicable)

• Admission to some programs is competitive for a limited number of spaces. A higher admission average and/or supplementary information may be required as part of the faculty-specific admissions.

Additional notes

The IB certificate and career programs are not acceptable for admission unless another recognized High School diploma or certificate has been awarded.

Completion of Higher Level (HL) IB subjects with minimum scores may qualify accepted applicants for course-based transfer credit. Completion of Standard Level (SL) IB subjects may qualify accepted applicants for advanced placement in first year subjects. Refer to the transfer credit chart for courses that may be eligible for transfer credit.
