W a’tkwanonhwerá:ton, bienvenue, welcome to a vibrant university
in the heart of Tiohtiá:ke/Montréal.
At Concordia, we are fueled by a vision for addressing the most vital
issues facing the planet today and tomorrow. We draw inspiration
from the creative energy and diversity that surrounds us. We give
back by leading the way to becoming a truly next-generation university.
Known as a friendly and inclusive place, the Concordia community is
also incredibly diverse, with people from more than 100 countries
around the world.
We emphasize learning by doing. You’ll have the freedom to create
and then pursue your own academic goals – and with support and
encouragement along the way.
Wa’tkwanonhwerá:ton is a formal greeting in Kanien’kéha (Mohawk
language) that means “our minds greet yours.”

Mixed ancestry – Kanien'keha:ka/Irish/French, South
Shore of Montreal
On doing paid internships throughout her degree:
“It was so valuable to put my skills to work
in a professional setting like an international
translation firm.”
Why she chose Traduction:
Growing up in a bilingual family in a bilingual
city, languages have been the backdrop of my
life. What sold me on the program was talking
to professors at Open House and seeing
how passionate they are about the power of
communication. I’m very interested in what
translation can do for the world in a time of
globalization and open markets.”

JASON SIKOAK
Pursuing a BFA in Art History and Studio Art
Inuk of Nunatsiavut, Labrador
Why he chose Concordia:
“I had heard great things about the fine arts
programs and my mentor — Heather Igloliorte,
a professor in the Department of Art History
— is here.”
“Seal Hunter” by Jason Sikoak
Why he chose Art History and Studio Art:
“I appreciated the broad spectrum of fine arts
offered by the program. It was what I needed
to further my artistic practice.”
On his student experience:
“The Aboriginal Student Resource Centre
helped me through my first year. It became a
second home for me. As soon as I walked in,
they welcomed me with open arms and it’s a

EMMA KAHENTE OUIMET
Pursuing a BA in First Peoples Studies with
a Minor in Law and Society
Kaniehkehaka from Kahnawá:ke
Why she chose First Peoples Studies and Law
and Society:
“I never got the opportunity to learn much about
First Nations in school so it felt right to use my
university years to build that knowledge. The
Law and Society courses complimented my major
as we learned about issues such as human rights
violations, civil and common law and the Indian
Act. The combination of all my courses helped
me better understand the obstacles that First
Nations face, legally and politically.”

university)
If you do not meet Concordia’s minimum academic admission requirements, you may be eligible to study at Concordia through Mature Entry,
based on age, experience and academic potential.
Conditions to be considered for mature entry:
1. Age: You must be at least 21 years old by August 1 or December 1 for entry in September or January respectively.
2. Academic Background: You lack the normal academic requirements for admission (for example, you did not complete high school, did not
attend CEGEP or started but did not complete a DEC) but you can demonstrate the ability to successfully undertake undergraduate courses.
If you have a completed credential but it does not meet the University’s minimum requirements, you can apply as a mature student. For
example, you graduated from high school with an overall grade of C- and have been out of school for 6 years. The completed credential does not
meet the minimum so you can apply.
Mature Entry
If you have a completed credential that meets the University’s minimum requirement, then you should not apply as a mature student (i.e.
you completed Ontario high school 10 years ago or CEGEP 5 years ago).
3. Period without studies: You have not studied full-time for at least 24 months since the age of 18. If you have been out of school for 12
months, you may be admitted provided your academic record for the previous 24 months is favourable.
Note - Full-time studies at CEGEP is considered 7-8 courses.
4. Residency: You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Some exceptions may apply to students who are already living in Canada, i.e.
not a permanent resident, but here on a family diplomatic permit.
Meeting these conditions does not guarantee admission to the University and cannot replace a poor academic record. Each mature entry
application is reviewed on an individual basis.
