    Flexible admission

    Applicants who do not meet the Standard Admission Requirements will be considered for flexible admission and assessed as follows. Applicants can be assessed for admission on the basis of their skills, knowledge, and background developed outside traditional learning structures or through a combination of academic and non-academic experience.

    This would normally include evidence of:

    • At least five years of work, or a combination of academic achievement, work experience, or volunteer experience, and
    • An ability to demonstrate the competencies expected of a graduate with a two-year diploma.
    • Candidates that only miss the GPA requirements, but otherwise have the credits required for entry, will need at least three years of work or relevant volunteer experience, or combination of work experience and volunteer experience.
    Test Scores:
    • International English Language Testing System (academic or immigration) [min. 6.5] or Test of English as a Foreign Language (Internet Based) [min. 80] or Test of English as a Foreign Language (Internet Based) or Pearson Test of English (Academic) [min. 88] or DuoLingo [min. 115]
