Mga Mature Students

To be considered for mature student admission, applicants must meet the following conditions:

• Age: Be at least 19 years old by the start date of the chosen program.
• Citizenship: Hold Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status.
• Education gap: Have been out of high school for a minimum of one year at the time of application.
• Academic background: Lack the formal academic qualifications for regular admission (i.e., have not graduated from high school or obtained a recognized high school credential, or equivalent).
• Program application: Apply to a post-secondary certificate or diploma program.
• Academic standing: Maintain good academic standing with all previous post-secondary institutions attended.

Applicants who have completed 24 credit hours or more at an accredited university or college must have achieved at least a “C” (60%) average in all attempted academic work to be eligible for mature student admission.

All mature student applicants must meet specific course and grade prerequisites for their chosen program, as well as any additional admission requirements, such as demonstrating English Language Proficiency.

For select programs, MITT offers admission assessments in Math and English. Eligible applicants will be notified about these assessments upon submitting their application. Please note that admission assessments are available only to individuals who have applied to MITT.

1. Regular admission application: Begin by applying for regular admission and submit all required documentation, including high school and post-secondary transcripts (if applicable) and proof of English Language Proficiency.
2. Mature Student consideration: If you do not meet the regular admission requirements but qualify for mature student status, MITT will request additional documents:
   1. Proof of age (driver’s license, passport, or birth certificate).
   2. Proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status.

• Applicants meeting regular admission requirements will not be considered under the mature student category, regardless of age.
• International applicants must possess the equivalent of a Manitoba High School Diploma and are not eligible for mature student admission.
• Admission under the mature student category is not guaranteed. Decisions are based on demonstrated academic potential and fulfillment of all program-specific entry requirements.
