Ways in without the usual marks

• Mature Entry. For adults who lack the normal admission requirements (no high school or CEGEP (a Quebec public college) diploma, or a diploma below Concordia's C+ minimum) but can show they can handle university courses. Mature entrants are treated as regular undergraduates except that they usually complete 18 extra credits of preparatory or complementary courses. Who: Canadian citizens or permanent residents aged 21 or older by 1 August (September entry) or 1 December (January entry), out of full-time study for at least 24 months since age 18 (12 months if the last 24 months' record is favourable). Students who completed a curriculum that normally leads to the Extended Credit Program (for example Ontario high school) may be admitted on maturity but must complete the ECP instead.
• Kaié:ri Nikawerá:ke Indigenous Bridging Program. A non-degree bridging program in which First Nations, Inuit and Metis students who do not meet the usual requirements take the prerequisite courses for their chosen degree, plus academic writing, study skills and a year-long seminar for Indigenous students. Students move into the linked degree on completion, most credits counting toward it, without reapplying (BComm page). Who: First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples whose communities are in Canada (proof of identity required), out of full-time school for at least 12 months since age 18 (or less with no unfavourable record in the last 12 months), and not admissible through regular admission.
• Certificate in Science and Technology. A 30-credit non-degree certificate 'for students who wish to prepare for admission to a degree program in engineering or computer science' (not for science programs). Courses need C- or better and a 2.00 GPA. Who: High school applicants with a C+ overall average (Ontario 67 to 69 on Concordia's scale); the Ontario table asks Advanced Functions 4U or Calculus and Vectors 4U.
• Certificate in Science Foundations. A 30-credit non-degree certificate for students 'who wish to develop the necessary background for further study in undergraduate degree programs in Science': biology, chemistry, calculus and physics courses. Students who want a degree should apply to it within their first 30 credits. Who: High school applicants with a C+ average (Ontario 67 to 69 on Concordia's scale); no specific courses listed.
• Certificate in Foundations for Business. A 30-credit certificate for students 'who wish to develop the necessary background for further study in undergraduate degree programs in Business'. Students who want to continue in a degree should apply within the first 30 credits. Who: High school applicants with a B- overall average (Ontario 70 to 72 on Concordia's scale); no specific courses required.
