How to Apply to ASIP

Admission Criteria 

The ASIP stream of each program is limited enrolment. Students must submit a supplementary application.   

Holistic admissions criteria will form the basis for admission, with the following criteria being considered:   

• Demonstrated leadership, communication, teamwork and community-building qualities 
• Evidence of motivation to learn and develop 
• Resilience and ability to overcome challenges 
• Sense of self and sense of responsibility, ability to learn from mistakes 

The application package will consist of the student’s resume and responses to four short-answer non-cognitive questions exploring the above qualities.  

The ASIP program’s mission is to help students prepare for professional life through work-integrated learning. We strive to provide inclusive services that enable all students to thrive and succeed in the program, including those from equity-deserving groups. We encourage all interested students to apply to the program.
