Admission Criteria
The ASIP stream of each program has 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 the ability to overcome challenges
- Sense of self and sense of responsibility, as well as the 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.

- You will now have access to the ASIP admissions landing page. Click the grey box labelled “Terms and Conditions”.
- Accept the terms and conditions.
- The application package will consist of a supplementary application and your resume
- Supplementary application: Includes basic student information (student number, program, etc.) and responses to four short-answer non-cognitive questions. Your answers must come from your own experiences and be written completely by you. You will also be asked to provide the name and contact information of a person who can verify the validity of your responses, if required.
- Resume: We strongly encourage you to consult the Resume and Cover Letter Toolkit prepared by Career Exploration and Education and have them review your resume (you can book an appointment on CLNx). Please upload your resume in PDF format.

- Complete all the application steps by the specified deadlines (see Key Dates below) for your ASIP application to be considered.
Note: Although your work should save, we recommend writing your application offline and then pasting it into the online admissions form. You are allowed to edit your submission before the application deadline, if you wish.
