The minimum admission requirement for postsecondary programs is one of the following:
- Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)
- Equivalent secondary school diploma from another province or territory in Canada (Please note: A recognized equivalent to an OSSD may be accepted if you meet the levels, subjects and overall averages required for admission to the college. Generally the requirement is successful completion of a Grade 12 diploma except in Quebec, where the equivalent is Secondary V) or
- Equivalent secondary school diploma from outside of Canada, including a course-by-course breakdown. Applicants who have been educated outside of Canada must have their documents evaluated by a credential assessment service (ICAS) and submit proof of educational qualifications to determine if their level of achievement is equivalent to an OSSD.

If you are 19 years of age or older as of the first day of classes and do not have an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, you may be considered for admission to DC with mature student status.
