Test Centre

The Mature Student Test(s) are used by Niagara College for applicants applying to a full time program and do not meet or are missing an English and/or Math requirement for the program(s) they have applied too. All applicants that are missing these eligibility requirements will be advised by our Enrolment Services Office or our International Division. 

In order to be eligible to write a Mature Student Test(s), applicants are required to obtain a referral from our Admissions Office. This office will determine if the applicant is eligible and will identify the specific subject area(s) needing to be tested. (English or Math) Once a referral has been made, the applicant will be directed to contact the Test Centre to schedule an appointment. All tests must be scheduled. We are unable to accept walk-ins.

2. at least 19 years of age (as of the start of the school year); and
3. have been out of high school at least 1 year.
