Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate English language proficiency in addition to the program admission requirements. 

Students may receive Recognition of Prior Learning in some courses where the learning of skills, knowledge or competencies has been acquired through work, formal and informal education or training, or self-study. 

The NETA program recognizes the need to facilitate access to post-secondary education for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners. To increase the participation of Indigenous learners, the program has designated five (5) seats for qualified applicants who are First Nations, Métis, or Inuit. After June 1 of each year, designated seats which have not been allocated to Indigenous learners will be released to qualified applicants on the waitlist if one exists for the program.

Indigenous applicants must meet the admission requirements for the program as outlined in the Academic Calendar and qualify for a designated seat by:

• Self-identifying as an Indigenous applicant on the Application for Admission.
• Providing proof of Indigenous ancestry.

Proof of Indigenous ancestry (one of the following):

Certified copy of a Status or Treaty card, Métis membership card, Nunavut Trust Certificate card, roll number or any other proof accepted by Inuit communities.
Proof that an ancestor’s name has been entered in the Indian Register according to the Indian Act, band list of an individual band, or the Inuit roll.
Written confirmation of Indigenous ancestry from Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. 
Statutory Declaration by an applicant attesting to Aboriginal ancestry with supporting documentation.
Other forms of proof may also be considered at the discretion of the Registrar.
