Who qualifies as a Mature Student?

You will be considered for admission as a mature student if you:

  • will be 23 years or older as of the first day of classes of the session for which you have applied;
  • do not meet the academic requirements for admission as a regular student,

  • wish to be admitted under Mature Student Status.

Applicants must also meet one of the following conditions:

  • Be an employee of the Department of National Defence (DND), or
  • Be a spouse of a member of the CF.

Individuals who have no affiliation with DND and who have successfully completed their high school studies or meet the general conditions for admission as mature students may also apply for admission through the Division of Continuing Studies (DCS), and may be accepted into an undergraduate programme of study at RMCC on an exceptional basis and provided there is space available in the programme of their choice and their admission serves the aims established for RMCC.

Applications from mature students will be considered on their individual merit. Mature students applying for admission must submit a letter describing their background, experience, and educational goals.
