Co-op and internship students also pay Sheridan's work-term fees (effective Fall 2026): a CAD 300 work-term and career preparation fee, then a job search and work-term fee in the term before the first work term (CAD 650 for bachelor's degrees and two-year graduate certificates where the work term is required, CAD 550 for diplomas, advanced diplomas and one-year graduate certificates where co-op is optional) and CAD 500 for each later work term.

Admission Requirements

• Apply: international applicants use Sheridan's International Application Portal and pay the application fee online by credit card. To request the Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) needed for a study permit, new international students accept their offer and pay a non-refundable CAD 2,000 tuition deposit (Sheridan issues the PAL 1-3 business days after the deposit posts); the rest of the first-term fees is due by the date in the letter of acceptance. Canadian applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca (up to three Sheridan programs per application) and pay a CAD 250 full-time tuition deposit
• Academic: a postsecondary diploma, advanced diploma or degree in IT, computer science or an equivalent field; or competence shown through education and/or related work experience (applicants from other fields may be asked for a Canadian-style resume)
• Canadian applicants submit transcripts to ontariocolleges.ca; those educated outside Canada need an ICAS or WES credential assessment. Private career college courses and credentials aren't accepted for admission
• International applicants submit official transcripts showing courses completed to date, and any credential earned, at the time of application, with a notarized official English translation and a copy of the original where documents aren't in English. Sheridan says international applicants must meet the course equivalencies of the Canadian admission requirements
• English proficiency (degree, master's and graduate certificate programs): IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 21 (or 4.5 with no section below 4.5 on the 2026 scale), PTE Academic 60 with no section below 57, Duolingo 115 with no subscore below 95, CAEL 70 with no section below 60, Cambridge 176 with no score below 169, LanguageCert Academic 70 with no skill below 65, iTEP Academic-Plus 3.9, or Sheridan's EAP Level 5 (75%); or show prior full-time study in English (two or more years at a recognized secondary school or college, one year at a recognized university, or one year in a post-graduate certificate at a recognized college), or residence and English-language study in a country on Sheridan's exemption list. Test results must be from the 24 months before the first day of classes, and some programs ask for higher scores
• International availability on the program page as of October 5, 2026 (in-person and hybrid offerings; online-only offerings aren't listed for international applicants): 2-year track: January 2027 at Trafalgar Campus (Oakville): available; September 2027 at Trafalgar Campus (Oakville): available | 1-year track: January 2027 at Trafalgar Campus (Oakville): available; January 2028 at Trafalgar Campus (Oakville): opening soon. Sheridan notes that hybrid delivery may mix online and in-person courses and that international students should check with a Sheridan immigration adviser that their academic plan complies with IRCC rules.
• PGWP: Sheridan's program page states that this program is PGWP-aligned. Sheridan's PGWP-aligned programs page explains that, based on the information currently available, the listed programs meet IRCC's requirements and may allow graduates to get a post-graduation work permit
• Program tracks: 1-year track: two semesters of coursework, followed by an optional co-op work term for students who apply and qualify. 2-year track: an extra introductory semester on Canadian context, three semesters of coursework, then a mandatory work-integrated learning experience (a co-op work term or a workplace simulation)
• Sheridan states that this program does not qualify for its International Tuition Exemption Policy: students who gain domestic status after starting still pay international tuition for the whole program
