Pre-Application Considerations
- Have you planned how you will pay for your studies, travel and living expenses?
- Are you sure you meet all the admission requirements for your chosen program?
- Do you meet Student Direct Stream (SDS) requirements (if applicable)?
- Do you understand that the language of instruction for all Cambrian College programs is English? Students applying to Cambrian programs must have sufficient English language skills in order to fully participate in classroom lectures, assignments, discussions and examinations.
English for Academic Purposes Program
For students that have not met the language requirements you can apply for an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program plus a future program if you meet all of the other admission requirements.
Documentation
Applications submitted by students from countries outside of Canada or by Canadian residents/ landed immigrants who are submitting international transcripts for evaluation should note that Cambrian College will only accept official notarized documents.
Documents that are submitted in a language other than English must have certified-translation, and a certified credential evaluator must assess all documents in order to be considered. Applications must also include a scanned copy of their up-to-date passport.
