What to Include in Your Application

International students must provide documentation which indicates an equivalent academic background to the Québec Diploma of Secondary Studies as well as the entrance prerequisites specified in this Viewbook.

In addition to the basic requirements, you must submit:

  • an official copy of your entire high school record (report card)
  • mid-year marks for the school year in progress
  • a school profile detailing the school curriculum or accreditation, grading system including the grade scale if it is not included on your report card.
Applicants following U.S. High School Programs

Students following a U.S. high school program (whether in the United States or in another country) must be completing Grade 11 to be eligible to apply to Marianopolis College. The Québec Ministry of Education Equivalency Certificate is not required.

Other International Applicants

To be considered eligible for admission to Marianopolis, students attending high school outside Canada, must be in their final year of (non-technical) secondary studies.

 

Language Requirements

 

Proficiency in English

The language of instruction at Marianopolis is English. Students attending schools outside of Canada where English is not the primary language of instruction and/or who have studied in English at the secondary level for less than 3 years are required to submit TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing Systems)  results. You may also submit an attestation from a recognized language school.

Proof that you have registered for this examination should be included with your application; the results should be forwarded directly by the testing institution to the Marianopolis College Admissions Office as soon as they become available.

Please consut the English Proficiency table to see which levels are required.

You may also be required to take the Marianopolis English Placement Test so that we may identify if you would benefit from some extra help.
