How to Apply
To be considered for admission, it is essential that your application to the Graduate Diploma in Journalism or to the Visual Journalism is complete and that all documents reach us by the stated deadlines.
Your documents must include

2. three letters of reference (2 must be from academic sources);
3. official transcripts.
Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Please note that a minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for admission (based on Concordia's 4.3 grading system).
