Admission Procedures for Mature Students

Mature students are individuals who are 21 years old or older and have been away from higher educational institutions for at least two years. A mature student may not have an academic certification but possesses lived- and work experiences. If you do not meet the requirements below, contact us regarding special considerations.

A Covenant International University and Seminary Ontario application form for admission must be completed, signed and submitted to the University along with transcripts and other supporting documents (such as ministry life and/or work experiences). Documents submitted will be evaluated by the Academic Review Committee, and the applicant will receive an email regarding his/her admission. An “Affidavit of Agreement” must be read and signed upon successful admission.

Covenant International University and Seminary Ontario reserves the right to reject any applicant for any reason or condition incompatible with the standards, principles or purposes of the school (or should the study be deemed impractical for the applicant).  If, for any reason, admission to Covenant International University and Seminary Ontario is denied, any/all monies (with the exception of the non-refundable application/processing fee – CAD $100) will be refunded.
