Fall admission – MARCH 1 
Winter admission – NONE

Applying to the College

Students can apply directly online by completing an online application through Omnivox.

Students attending a high school in Canada, will need to upload all supporting documents in Omnivox after submitting an application:

  • A clear copy of your official birth certificate (with both parents’ names indicated)
  • An official translation of your birth certificate in English or French (if required)
  • Proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent residency (if required)
  • A copy of your official academic record from Grade 9 to the present
  • A copy of your official mid-year transcripts for the current year
  • A letter of intent (if applying to Arts and Sciences; Liberal Arts; Honours Science)
  • Music audition results if applying to the Music program

Late Applications

Applications received with a time-stamp after 11:59 p.m. on the deadline date will be considered only after all regular applications have been reviewed, if at all, and only if space is still available within the College.

Proficiency in English

The language of instruction at Marianopolis is English. All confirmed students will be required to write an English Placement Test. This test does not affect your admission, but serves to place you in the correct course stream. Confirmed students will be notified through Omnivox about the date and time.

Students may be required to take remedial or reinforcement courses and to follow a reduced course load if it is determined that their English skills are not adequate.

French Requirement

All applicants must be completing Secondary V or equivalent level French. French placement at Marianopolis is based on grade 10 and grade 11 high school grades. If the grade information is incomplete, you will be required to write a placement test in May after admission to the College.

Students may be required to take remedial or reinforcement courses and to follow a reduced course load if it is determined that their French skills are not adequate.

Evaluation of Applicants

The Admissions Committee reviews each application individually, carefully considering the following:

  • The overall average of both final Secondary IV results and Secondary V term results
  • The performance of the student in each program-related and/or prerequisite course

Applicants who believe their academic record is not a true indication of their ability should submit an explanatory letter when applying, as well as a copy of all relevant transcripts.

Though we make every effort to accommodate our applicants, please note that it may not be possible to consider grades and/or letters received after the published deadline.

Notice of Decision

At the end of March and throughout the month of April, notices of conditional acceptance can be found in your Omnivox account under 'Documents and Messages'. Final acceptance is contingent upon successful completion of all entrance requirements, as well as applicable program prerequisites and is automatic once these conditions have been met. 

Note: all offers of acceptance will be withdrawn from applicants whose file remains incomplete at Marianopolis, or who do not graduate from high school and complete the requirements to enter CEGEP.
