Admission Testing - for potential students
Admission Testing is available to mature applicants who have applied to a program and do not meet the academic requirements. There are two tests:
The Admission Test - contains both English and Math and may be required for a few reasons, such as:
- An applicant is a mature student (19 years of age or older) and does not have an OSSD or equivalent.
- An applicant has an OSSD but does not meet the English and/or math requirements for a post-secondary program.
- An applicant has not submitted to the Registrar's Office all documentation related to their formal education.
- For sample questions from the Admission Test, view Admissions Test - English and Admissions Test - Math.
- To review math skills in preparation for the Admission Test, visit our Learning Videos page for instructional videos.
The English Proficiency Test - If it appears that your English grades do not meet the minimum admission requirement for a program, or you have not graduated from high school, you may be offered the opportunity to take an admission test to potentially qualify for admission to a college program.
- For sample questions from the Admission Test, view English Proficiency Test.
A referral from the Registrar's Office is required before booking the appropriate test.
Test Invigilation - for non-students
Test Invigilation is available for a fee of $50.00 per sitting to anyone in the community requiring a test facilitator to administer and Proctor and/or provide test results for another college, university or company, etc.
MTCU Exemption Testing is available to candidates who wish to be exempted from some or all of the formal instruction requirements by successfully completing each level of Ministry-approved exemption tests for any of the skilled trades.
