MATURE STUDENTS STATUS
If you are 19 or older and do not have an OSSD, you may apply as a mature student. You will be tested and/or interviewed to see if you meet
the program prerequisites. If you are under the age of 19 at the start of the program, you must have an OSSD or equivalent to be admitted.
For mature student applicants to bachelor’s degree programs, you may be considered for admission if you meet all of the following
requirements:
- are 19 years of age by the first day of class
- are a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant or are sponsored by a Canadian government agency
- can present tangible evidence of your ability to manage the requirements of a bachelor’s degree
- possess the prerequisite subject requirements – English and mathematics at an OAC or Grade 12 U level
For bachelor’s degree programs offered in collaboration with Ryerson University, mature student status is 21 years of age and you
must be out of full-time school for two years.
Note: International students applying from outside Canada must have the equivalent of an OSSD and cannot apply as mature students.
