Applications from home-schooled students will be considered individually by the appropriate Admissions Committees. The Admissions Information Form is required from all home-schooled applicants.

Evidence must be provided that studies have been completed at an academic level equivalent to the minimum standard required for the program(s) to which the student has applied. This evidence may include a letter from the principal of a traditional and accredited high school confirming that the equivalent of an OSSD has been completed and indicating an estimated overall standing/average based on a typical final year of secondary school studies.

It is preferable that students complete their final year of studies at a traditional and accredited high school.

It is strongly recommended that home-schooled applicants submit results from a standardized academic test (e.g., SAT, ACT, provincial or state college entrance exams).
