No matter which direction you are travelling from, both the Welland Campus (WC) and the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake (NL) are easy to get to thanks to the transportation corridor and vast network of highways which connect Niagara to both Canada’s largest city and the most populous regions of the USA.

With close proximity to restaurants, wineries, museums, galleries, live music, festivals and only a 30-minute drive to the Canada-US border, both campuses are known for their warm and supportive culture and commitment to offering relevant programs that provide real-world work experience.

28 | Niagara College Canada

OPEN PROGRAMS: Applications are evaluated based on published admission requirements. When the applicant provides proof of meeting the requirements, an offer of admission can be issued, provided space is available in the program. Where a required course is in progress at the time of evaluation, a decision will be rendered upon receipt of course enrolment. Offers of admission granted where one or more admission requirements are in progress will be conditional upon successful completion of the requirement. A conditional offer of acceptance will be revoked if proof of completion of all requirements is not received by the Admissions Office before the start of classes. COMPETITIVE PROGRAM SELECTION AND RANKING: A program is considered competitive when the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number required to fill the program. Applications, as well as proof of all admission requirements, must be received by the Admissions Office according to the application deadlines to Niagara College, available at niagaracollege.ca/dates Applications received on or before the application deadline will be equally considered, based on published admission requirements and residency priority. Selection is based on the average of final grades in required courses and, where required, pre-admission test scores, audition or portfolio evaluations. The highest senior level final grade available at the time of evaluation is considered. Mid-term grades are not considered for competitive programs however, where the required grade 12 course is in progress, grade 11 final grades will be used for ranking. Example 1: When an applicant is enrolled in a required grade 12 Math, and has no previous final grade for grade 12 Math at the time of evaluation, ranking is based on the final grade for grade 11 Math at the appropriate level. Offers of admission granted in this circumstance will be conditional upon successful completion of the required grade 12 Math. Example 2: When an applicant is enrolled in a required grade 11 or 12 Chemistry, and has no previous final grade for grade 11 or 12 Chemistry at the time of evaluation, the applicant will not be considered for admission to a competitive program. Final grades must be available at the time of evaluation. Applicants currently attending a semestered secondary school are strongly encouraged to complete the subject-specific requirements for the programs to which they are applying in the first semester of their final year or during their 3rd year of studies in order that final marks for these courses may be used in the selection.

If you are an international student, email ‘Confirmation of Acceptance’, of your offer package to intlapply@niagaracollege.ca

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN APPLICANT HAS BEEN PLACED ON A WAITING LIST? A waiting list is established when there are more eligible applicants than available space in a program.

Your waiting list status is typically valid until the fifth day of classes and does not carry over to future terms. Should space become available in the program, wait listed applicants will be contacted by the Admissions Office. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide accurate contact information; including mailing address, email address and phone numbers. WHAT IF I HAVE BEEN DENIED ADMISSION?
