Admission Requirements
The CGA program is open to permanent residents of Ontario who are either Canadian
citizens or landed immigrants. The CGA program welcomes applicants with a variety
of educational backgrounds, such as:
- a bachelor’s degree
- a college diploma
- partial post-secondary credits
- a secondary school diploma
All of the above scenarios are acceptable for application to
the program. Mature students over the age of 21 with a minimum of two years
of work experience also will be accepted.
Completing your application for enrolment
Initial registration in the CGA program requires enrolment in a CGA course
or challenge exam. Applications for enrolment will be accepted beginning July
9, 2007. Registrations are processed on a first-received, first-served basis.
In order to allow time for processing and the delivery of course material and
related information, early registration is advisable. Once you have received
your “Transfer Credit Evaluation Report” you may
enrol
online. A password will be issued once your evaluation
is processed. For those that are interested in beginning the program at level
1 without receiving transfer credits, please submit the Application for Enrolment
in hard copy format. There are four enrolment periods for
new students during the academic year. Please refer to
Important
dates for enrolment deadlines.
If your application for enrolment is not accepted, your entire
application will be returned to you.
