Conestoga directs full-time Canadian applicants to ontariocolleges.ca. Its international application instructions direct new international applicants to the OCAS international applicant portal, warn them not to use the domestic application link, and list a $100 application fee. Programs accept applications only while capacity remains, so confirm the current intake in the open-programs list before paying.

Computer Programming 1009 currently shows January 2027 requirements. Applicants need an OSSD or equivalent, or mature student status at age 19 or older. The subject requirements are Grade 12 compulsory English C or U or COMM1251, plus Grade 12 Mathematics C or U or MATH1375. Minimums are 60% for MCT4C, MAP4C and MATH1375, and 50% for MHF4U, MCV4U and MDM4U.

Canadian citizens and permanent residents with transcripts from outside Canada need a course-by-course evaluation. The program page also requires English-proficiency evidence when the transcript’s institution did not teach in English. A conditional offer reserves a place only while its named conditions are met by the stated deadline.
