General Information for Mature Students
Mohawk recognizes that life changes people’s directions. That’s why it is NOT necessary for Mature Students to have completed a secondary school diploma to enter a Mohawk College program. Mohawk welcomes students from many backgrounds:
- Fully 55% of Mohawk students arrive after being away from school and/or in the labour force for one year or more (45% arrive directly from secondary school).
- Almost 1/3 of Mohawk students are aged 23 or over, and there are students from every generation.
- Mohawk considers a mature applicant to be anyone 19 years of age or older who is planning to attend a full or part-time program at Mohawk College.
- Adult learners are an important part of our Mohawk community.
- With a variety of work and life experiences, adult learners contribute their valuable perspectives to classroom and training programs, while at the same time obtaining new knowledge and skills.
Mohawk Wants You to Succeed!
- Individual programs may have one or more prerequisite courses, or equivalents, which must be completed before admission into a program can be granted.
- Please note that the minimum age for mature students is 21 for our two collaborative degree programs offered in collaboration with McMaster University: Bachelor of Science in Nursing or Bachelor of Medical Radiation Sciences.
