  • Out-of-province high school applicants: must submit a complete application, have a high school diploma and half their grade 12 credits in the academic/university stream.

What is the application deadline?

The IESP application is now open. The application deadline is Friday, July 11, 2025.

Please email iesp@carleton.ca with any inquiries or questions you may have.

Who should apply?

First Nation, M茅tis, and Inuit students interested in beginning university studies who:

  • would like academic and social support
  • have taken time away from school and wish to start in a supported environment
  • have potential but may lack the grades needed for traditional admission

IESP students:

  • have come from across Canada
  • have diverse educational and/or professional backgrounds and experiences
  • have included both recent high school and/or college graduates and mature students who have decided to undertake university studies after years in the workforce
How do you apply?

IESP does not base its admissions decisions on high school or college/university grades alone. For this reason,聽we ask students to submit an Application Package including an application form, two letters of reference from teachers, a personal statement and an application fee.

IESP applications are not made through the Ontario University Application Centre. Instead, you apply directly to the program, below.
