Qualified or conditionally qualified applicants will be required to complete a supplementary application intake form comprised of questions relating to past experience and future ambitions. This process will give each applicant an opportunity to share their stories and speak to their future goals. A Selection Committee will review submissions and evaluate each applicant according to the overarching goals and purposes of the Island Pre-Health Science Program - as noted above. The application form will ask for elaboration on:
- academic performance and awards;
- non-academic qualifications: important experiences, relationship experience, regional interest, volunteer experience, any other information they feel is important/relevant;
- reason(s) for applying to the Island Pre-Health Science program.
Qualified or conditionally qualified applicants will also be asked to arrange for the submission of two personal reference forms (included in the application intake form) that will be sent to North Island College under separate cover.
Any applicant who is not admitted or does not take a seat in a given year must reapply if they want to be considered in a subsequent year.
Indigenous Priority Admission
North Island College is dedicated to improving its ability to meet the educational needs of Indigenous students. NIC’s Indigenization Plan, “Working Together” outlines our commitment to Indigenization, reconciliation and decolonization. To further advance these goals, North Island College has reserved seating and priority admissions in many of our programs for students of Indigenous ancestry.
Applicants will be considered on a first-applied, first-qualified basis for all programs with the exception of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree, where a selective admission process will be used.
To be considered for a priority admission seat, Indigenous students must:
- Self-identify as an Indigenous person
- Complete the Indigenous Priority Admission Request for a Reserved Seat form
- Meet NIC’s general admission requirements, and/or specific program requirements
International Admission
International students can apply to this program. A limited number of seats will be available for international students who apply before the application deadline date, and any other applications will be considered after the application deadline on an equal basis with late domestic applicants if unused capacity exists. International students should be aware that their citizenship and residency status may impact their ability to apply to future professional health science programs within Canada, or to become licensed in a specific profession.
Additional Admission Information
This is a limited entry program, with a set number of seats per intake. Students who have met the admission requirements, which includes academic and non-academic requirements, will be offered admission to the program, on the basis of first applied, first qualified, first invited.
The application deadline date for domestic students, and a limited number of international students, will be March 31st. As applications are reviewed as they are received, prospective students are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible. Applications will continue to be reviewed if space exists after the deadline date, until all seats are filled. Waitlisted students will be notified if seats become available.
Before Classes Begin
All students in the program must complete Indigenous Cultural Safety training provided by the program.
