What are the minimum educational requirements for admission to IESP?

Applicants must meet the following minimum educational criteria:

  • Ontario high school applicants: must submit a complete application and have three Grade 12 credits at the U or M level (4U English is recommended but not required), and be eligible for their OSSD.
  • Out-of-province high school applicants: must submit a complete application, have a high school diploma and half their grade 12 credits in the academic/university stream.
  • Mature applicants (the IESP office will consider those who have been away from full-time studies for a two-year period and who have not undertaken other college or university study as “mature”): must submit a complete application and will be considered on a case by case basis.
  • College/CEGEP applicants: must submit a complete application and may be considered after the completion of one year in a college program.
  • University students: please contact iesp@carleton.ca about whether our program can assist you.
What is the application deadline?

The IESP application is not available at this time. Please check back for updates in 2023.

Please email iesp@carleton.ca with any inquiries or questions you may have.

Who should apply?

First Nation, Métis, and Inuit students interested in beginning university studies who:

  • would like academic and social support
  • have taken time away from school and wish to start in a supported environment
  • have potential but may lack the grades needed for traditional admission

IESP students:

  • have come from across Canada
  • have diverse educational and/or professional backgrounds and experiences
  • have included both recent high school and/or college graduates and mature students who have decided to undertake university studies after years in the workforce
How do you apply?

IESP does not base its admissions decisions on high school or college/university grades alone. For this reason, we ask students to submit an Application Package including an application form, two letters of reference from teachers, a personal statement and an application fee.

IESP applications are not made through the Ontario University Application Centre. Instead, you apply directly to the program, below.
