Please Note: This is a summary of CMCC’s undergraduate admission requirements. For details please download the current CMCC Academic Calendar (PDF 854 KB).
Applicants from Canada
The minimum academic requirement for consideration for admission is a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.50 on a 4.00 grade point scale from at least three full years of undergraduate university study in Canada.
Applicants from the province of Québec must complete two years of appropriate study in a CeGeP program, with successful completion of the Diplome d’études collegiales DeC, and at least two full years of undergraduate university study in Canada, earning the cumulative GPA requirements above.
Applicants who study in a university transfer program at a college must subsequently complete one full year of undergraduate study at a university in Canada before entering CMCC. We recommend that this include courses organic chemistry and biology, introductory psychology and humanities and/or social sciences. All academic requirements must be completed no later than May 31 of the year of registration at CMCC.
Applicants from outside Canada (International Students)
International applicants follow the same admission process as all other applicants to CMC, and must provide the following additional information:
- The endorsement of the chiropractic organization (if any) of his/her home country.
- Proof of proficiency in English, if English is not his/her first language. This requires a minimum score of 88 on the Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) at www.ets.org/toefl (CMCC’s Institutional code is 8866), or successful completion of an English proficiency admission test at a Canadian university.
- Evidence of financial resources or funding commitment to complete one year of education.
- The equivalent educational requirements of students matriculating in Canada.
- Course-by-course evaluation of transcripts for all post-secondary institutions which are not Canadian institutions.
- Notarized English translations of documents and certified true photocopies of the originals for all documents which are in a language other than English.
- Compliance with the Citizenship and Immigration Canada regulations governing the entrance of foreign students.
Transfer Students
Students from other chiropractic programs are welcome to request a transfer to CMCC. CMCC may accept transfer of credits from institutions accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) of the CFCREAB or institutions accredited by agencies that are members of the Council of Chiropractic Education International (CCEI).
The credit hours being transferred must be for course work that is equivalent in credit hours, content and quality, completed with a grade of “C” (or its equivalent) or better, and earned within 5 years of the date of admission to CMCC. Not more than two years of credit may be granted for course work in another chiropractic program. The last two years of study must be completed at CMCC to qualify for graduation from CMCC.
Transfer applicants are required to:
- Send a request letter to the Registrar by March 1.
- Pay a non-refundable transfer application fee of $250 (in Canadian funds).
- Provide transcripts from all post-secondary institutions and chiropractic programs.
- Meet the current academic entrance requirements and comply with all entrance regulations.
- Show a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.70 on a 4.00 scale from previously attended chiropractic programs.
- Supply an official letter of recommendation from the institution from which transfer is requested.
All students who have requested a transfer will be notified of the outcome of their request by late August.
