Start Your Application

Step 1

Confirm Eligibility

Designed for students pursuing a career in accounting, Smith’s Graduate Diploma in Accounting (GDA) builds on your undergraduate studies and prepares you for the next stage of the CPA pathway. We recommend reviewing the admission requirements before you begin your application.

If you’re unsure whether your academic background or prerequisite courses meet the admission requirements, we encourage you to complete a complimentary Eligibility Check. This short assessment can help you understand whether you’re ready to apply and identify any requirements you may need to complete before entering the program.
