Fast Track Diploma Requirements

If you have completed 27 post secondary credits that include all of the following courses with a C+ grade or higher and would like accelerated access by directly entering the second year of the RT Diploma, the fast-track option may be for you.

Admission requirements- Same as 3 year diploma PLUS:

• 6 credits Human Anatomy & Physiology
• 6 credits Communications, English or writing intensive equivalent
• 3 credits Physics
• 3 credits Statistics

Ranking

Applicants in this category must have the six post-secondary courses noted above. A GPA will be generated using those six courses for admissions consideration and ranking. Additional post-secondary education will be further ranked by number of post-secondary credits completed and if a degree has been obtained. Fast-track applicants who do not receive an offer may be considered for the three-year diploma stream.

The number of fast-track seats is limited.

Fast-track transcripts are assessed for year one transfer credits. Please be aware that post-secondary courses supersede high school courses.

As a fast-track applicant, you will be notified of your admission decision in early March.

If accepted, you should receive a conditional acceptance into the fast-track option, subject to the successful completion of the distance courses listed below.

RESP 1761	Pulmonary Physiology and Introduction to Ventilation
RESP 1781	Respiratory Therapy Equipment
HLTH 2511	Introduction to Pharmacology
Moodle course	RT Medical Terminology

*Fast track applicants wishing to get a head start may complete HLTH 2511 after application, however doing so does NOT guarantee a fast-track seat offer. 

Note: The courses listed above are for fast-track students only or for students who have been granted approval by the RT department. If students are declined a seat in fast-track and accept a seat in first year, they will need to register in the face-to-face RESP courses.
