All applicants must meet the institutional and program requirements. The selection process uses only the courses that are prerequisite subjects, and only uses final grades (no mid-terms except in the case of non-semestered schools). As per Ministry requirements, we do not weight (C), (U), or (M) level courses differently from one another. Cambrian requires that at least 50% of prerequisite courses be completed in order to be considered for limited enrolment programs. The deadline for submission of transcripts is usually ten business days after the equal consideration date. After this deadline, applicants are ranked based on their performance in the prerequisite subjects, and selection benchmarks are determined. The benchmarks are established based on 3 factors: the number of spaces available in a program, the number of applicants for that program, and the quality of applicants for that program. Students who meet and exceed the selection benchmarks are granted an offer of admission; the next strongest candidates are waitlisted based on their ranking; and finally unsuccessful applicants are notified, and provided with an alternative offer of admission where appropriate.

If these are met, offers of admissions are made. Where any of the conditions are not yet met, conditional offers are made. Grade 11 marks are used only when the admission requirement calls for either Grade 11 or 12 marks. If the requirement is Grade 12 Math, for example, we would not look at Grade 11 marks in the selection process. 8 Your guide to Ontario Colleges Cambrian College Dual credits/SHSM programs: Alternate offers of admission: Supplemental admission requirements: Differentials: Workplace pathways: Upgrading pathways: Post-graduate opportunities: Tuition deposit: Student experience: Students with disabilities: Career Services: Art& Design; Surveying; Development Services; Early Childhood Education; Hospitality and Hotel Management; Metal Fabricator and Welder; Trades & Technology through Precision Measuring; Transition to College – Adaptive Technology; Chef Training; Baking & Pastry Arts; College Connection; Commercial Vehicle & Heavy Equipment; General Carpenter; Health & Wellness; Theatre Arts; Health Sciences; Videography; Yes, Cambrian provides alternate offers in a number of situations.

Applicants to some programs are admitted based on academic criteria alone. Such applicants are selected on the average of their six highest senior-level credits, including required courses. Sheridan uses a limit of one Co-op mark as part of the applicant’s six highest senior level credits. For certificate and diploma programs, appropriate grade 11 courses can be used as electives in the calculation of an admissions average, as long as the applicant is registered in the required courses. Unless specified as an admission requirement, no grade 11 courses are used in determining eligibility for admission to degree programs. Marks from dual credit and/or Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) courses will be used in the calculation of admission averages, and will be treated as electives if they are part of the 6 highest sr. level marks used in the average. They will be not be used as pre-requisite courses. Applicants who do not meet the admissions requirements for their program of choice will be assessed and advised, and may be considered for other, related programs. Supplemental admission requirements can include portfolios, auditions, résumés, questionnaires, creative projects, essays, etc. The Health Occupation Aptitude Exam (HOAE) is required for the Pharmacy Technician, Practical Nursing and Veterinary Technician diploma programs. Supplemental admission requirements are an important component of the admission decisions. Sheridan does not use grade differentials for U, M or C courses. Applicants may be admitted to Sheridan if they have an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (Grade 12) with senior-level credits achieved at the C, U, M or O designation, or equivalent. Admission requirements to degree programs include credits achieved at the U or M designation. 56 Your guide to Ontario Colleges Sheridan College Workplace and Upgrading pathways Post-graduate opportunities: Deferral policy: Tuition deposit: Student experience: Students with disabilities: Career Services: Academic Upgrading provides students with the opportunity to obtain a Grade 12 equivalency certificate or to complete courses needed to apply to a college program.
