Mature Student Testing
Mature Student Tests are used by Niagara College for applicants applying to a full-time program who do not meet or are missing an English and/or Math requirement for the program they have applied to. All applicants that are missing eligibility requirements will be advised by Enrolment Services.
To be eligible to write a Mature Student Test, applicants must first receive a referral from the Admissions department. Once a referral has been obtained, applicants will be directed to contact the Test Centre to schedule the appropriate Mature Student Test(s).
Mature Student Tests can be taken in person at the Welland Campus Test Centre or the Daniel J. Patterson Campus Test Centre in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Tests can also be taken remotely if the test taker meets the virtual testing requirements.
Please note that all tests must be scheduled in advance as we cannot accept walk-ins.
Testing Fees
A non-refundable fee of $20 (including HST) is required for each Mature Student Test that needs to be taken. This fee includes one free rewrite if your first attempt is unsuccessful. Payment instructions will be provided at time of booking.
Those who are unable to attend their appointment are asked to notify us via email at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time to avoid having to repay any testing fees.
