Admission Requirements

ADMISSIONS
New students are accepted into the Criminal Justice Studies for Aboriginal Learners program for the Fall (September) term. Qualified applicants may be admitted into programs outside of normal intakes. Interested applicants are considered on an individual basis for acceptance into a program in an alternative or modified format.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
To ensure that learners meet the basic standards required for a realistic chance for success in the program, applicants are required to undergo testing. From these tests, a score is generated which may be used to place the applicant on an admission list. The screening will guide the assigning of academic support within the program. Upon completion of the credential with a GPA of 1.5 or better, the learner may be admitted into the Criminal Justice Policing or Correctional Studies Diploma program.

NON-ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
Applicants are required to review an online information package and complete a questionnaire relating to the entry/suitability requirements for a career in law enforcement. The completed questionnaire will be reviewed by the School of Justice Studies to ensure applicants have read and understood these requirements.

Note: Students completing the Criminal Justice Studies for Aboriginal Learners Credential of Academic Achievement and transferring into the Criminal Justice Policing Diploma or Correctional Studies Diploma should check with employers for academic requirements (Grade 12 or GED).

Applicants who lack the required academic admission requirements can apply to the College and University Preparatory Program to upgrade for your program.
