Future Student's Guide to Getting Started

At Humber, we recognize that not everyone who comes to us is looking for exactly the same thing, so we've created this guide to help you find the resources you need to get started.

What Type of Applicant Am I?

Students in Humber Merch

When you look at the Admission Requirements for any of our programs, you'll see an outline of the previous education needed to be eligible to apply. Depending on the program you're looking at, it may also say 'or Mature student status or College or university transfer status'. A lot of people aren't sure which category applies to them, so we've put this section together to make it easier to understand.

When you apply on ontariocolleges.ca, they'll ask you a series of questions to determine which applicant category you should be in, so don't worry if you're still not sure after reading this page.

If you're an international applicant, please visit Humber Global for more information and support.

Take a look at the pathway options and next steps available to each type of applicant.
