Given the current situation, we are making some changes to the format and schedule of our entrance exams. Please note that this change to the exam process does not indicate a change in the performance expected of students entering our program.

From February to July 2022, we will be waiving the condition on distance from Ottawa and will be encouraging anyone who wishes to take the exam to do so off-site. We are also temporarily waiving the fee for the exam.

The supervision requirement for the exam has been suspended and replaced by a statement from the candidate confirming that the exam conditions have been respected. Please download the exam registration form (PDF) and provide your contact information, then return it to our Secretary. She will schedule an exam date and time with you, and on the day will send you a PDF file of the exam and of the declaration that you can print and complete. Once the exam has been completed (by hand), you will scan and return it by email, accompanied by your signed statement, within 90 minutes of receiving the exam.

Exams are typically scheduled during working hours. If you are not available during this time please send us an email.

Please note that we are not currently accepting new applications for our regular four-year BA programs. The two-year accelerated BA, for those who already hold a Bachelor's degree, remains available.

For any questions, feel free to contact us. We thank you for your understanding, and wish you the best of luck!
