Admissions Information

Vanier College admits as many qualified students as possible to the program of their choice. Every program, particularly in the Technology programs, has a limited number of places. When making admissions decisions for each program, the quality of applicants as well as the number of applicants and the number of places available is considered. Acceptances are based primarily on academic performance and English proficiency. In some cases, other criteria such as an interview, a letter of intent and/or an audition are also used in the evaluation process.

Fulfillment of minimum academic requirements does not guarantee admission to full-time studies. The College reserves the right to refuse admission to applicants whose qualifications are deemed insufficient.
