What is an Admission Assessment?
The Admission Assessment in English, Math and/or Science is taken by mature applicants as part of the application process. The Admission Assessment measures if the applicant has the academic skills required to start the program.
A mature applicant is a person who is 19 years of age or older on the start date of the program, and who does not have the required program credit(s) i.e., Grade 12 English.
For more information, please visit our Assessment Centre page.
If you have already accepted an offer of admission from George Brown College, you may need to take a Placement Assessment.
When and where do I take my assessment?
You will receive a letter with the admission assessment information from the Registrar’s Office. You should book your appointment immediately upon receipt of your testing letter.
Leave yourself some time to review and prepare for the assessment as the results are important to your admission process.
