Mature Applicants

Applicants who are 19 years of age on the first day of classes in the year of admission, and who do not have OSSD, are considered as mature applicants. Such applicants must complete the required subjects for admission. If they lack the required subjects, they may be requested to write a diagnostic test or complete academic upgrading. Mature applicants are treated on an individual basis and should consult the Admissions Office by emailing admissions@loyalistcollege.com as early as possible to determine if pre-entry testing and/or college preparatory studies are required.

Once you have applied as a mature applicant, you may be invited to write the Mature Applicant Pre-Entry Test(s).

If the program you applied for requires Grade 12 English and/or Mathematics, you will write English and/or Mathematics tests.

The admissions officer will advise you what is required and provide you with options for writing the test. You may choose to write the test immediately or schedule an appointment for a later time.

You will be required to pay a fee of $40 (HST included) after writing the pre-test. You will be notified of your assessment results by email.

The test determines if you are eligible for direct entry into your College program of interest. This test is used to identify your strengths and weaknesses in each subject area. The results of the assessment, in conjunction with your academic background, goals and interests, are used by academic advisors and counsellors to place you in the appropriate courses that meet your skill level.
