Comprehensive Engineering

Current Ontario secondary school students

• Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits including English (ENG4U) with a minimum grade of 60 per cent, Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) and Physics (SPH4U). In addition, a combined minimum 70 per cent average in prerequisite math and science courses is required, with no grade below 60 per cent.

Ontario secondary-school applicants; meet one published English-proficiency pathway

• English as first language satisfies the stated requirement.
• Alternatively, complete at least three years of formal full-time secondary/postsecondary study in English, with at least three courses per semester and English instruction and examinations.
• Otherwise meet the required proficiency on a university-accepted English-language test.

Ontario OSSD applicants taking individual IB courses without the full IB Diploma

• Individual IB courses may be considered with a recognized secondary-school graduation credential. Your school must send official transcripts and proof of graduation directly to Ontario Tech.
• Keep the Ontario prerequisites for your chosen program. The IB Career-related Programme does not replace proof of secondary-school graduation.

Applicants assessed on the full IB Diploma for an Engineering or Science degree

• The accepted mathematics courses are Analysis and Approaches SL/HL or Applications and Interpretation HL.
• This is the full IB curriculum rule. It does not replace Ontario U/M prerequisite credits when you apply with the OSSD.

DEU undecided applicants

• Apply to one of the nine listed engineering disciplines before second year. Meeting admission to Comprehensive Engineering does not guarantee the desired discipline.

Home-schooled applicants

• Ontario Tech evaluates examinations delivered through distance learning or alternative education centres. Parent-generated transcripts may document courses/marks, but must accompany standardized test scores. Include marks from completed distance/alternative-education courses.
• Exact programme subjects and other admission requirements still apply. This institutional policy does not certify an unlisted home-school qualification or a test waiver.

Applicants educated in another Canadian province or the United States

• Other Canadian provincial applicants must complete secondary school and satisfy the chosen programme’s subject requirements. U.S. applicants must graduate from high school with the required subjects; individual programme academic thresholds remain separately held.
• U.S. applicants provide SAT/ACT results if written. The procedure rejects test results older than five years and says grades are the primary basis, with SAT results not disadvantaging applicants. Country/curriculum-specific subject equivalencies remain separate.

Applicants applying from another postsecondary institution

• Be in good academic standing at the previous institution and present the chosen programme’s prerequisite subjects at a competitive level. The prerequisites may be met through a combination of secondary and postsecondary study.
• The faculty sections of the Undergraduate Calendar govern exact subjects. This does not waive special entry, bridge or progression requirements, and admission is separate from transfer-credit assessment.

Canadian citizens/permanent residents who do not qualify as secondary-school graduates

• Meet all stated category conditions: no completed postsecondary education, at least two years away from formal education, and age21 by December31 of the application year. Required secondary-level programme subjects and a competitive academic record remain necessary.
• Mature status alone is insufficient. Exact programme availability and equivalence decisions remain with Admissions.

Applicants meeting every admission requirement except English proficiency

• The procedure permits an approved on-campus or off-campus EAP programme. Successful completion permits the degree programme to begin without further English testing. Approved-provider, programme and individual offer conditions must be checked; no unspecified language school is accepted automatically.
