College Diploma - Architectural Technician (co-op) (ARTC)

Academic Requirements

To apply for the Architectural Technician program at Georgian College, applicants must meet the following academic requirements:

• Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or mature student status.
• Grade 12 English (C or U).
• Grade 12 Mathematics (C or U).

For international students, particularly those from Vietnam and other Asian countries, it is essential to ensure that your qualifications are equivalent to the OSSD. Mature students, non-secondary school applicants (19 years or older), and home school applicants may also be considered for admission. Eligibility may be met by applicants who have taken equivalent courses, upgrading, completed their GED, and equivalency testing.

It is also recommended that applicants have an automotive driver’s licence prior to applying for co-op work term positions, which usually occur during semester two. Many employers require a full G licence to drive a company vehicle from worksite to worksite and will prefer applicants who have it.

A personal laptop is strongly recommended (Windows operating system is required if purchased) to support a wider job search, facilitate more co-op employment opportunities, and assist on-campus learning and in-class activities as needed.

Additionally, transcripts may be required to be evaluated by WES in some cases.
