Land Acknowledgement As part of the colonial history of Canada, nonIndigenous peoples have derived benefit from what the Royal Commission on Truth and Reconciliation defines as the “cultural genocide” of Indigenous peoples in this country. At Confederation College, we accept our responsibility in a national reconciliation process and acknowledge that we are accountable for this tragic history. We are working to address injustices against Indigenous peoples and honouring our relationships with communities.
Photo provided by Fort William First Nation
In renewing our relationships and building reconciliation processes, we are respecting the leadership of Indigenous peoples in changing the educational landscape. It is against this backdrop that Confederation College acknowledges that it is on Indigenous land and recognizes the presence of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples in the area.

Apprenticeship Programs There are more than 130 skilled occupations that can be practiced through Ontario’s apprenticeship training system. Chefs, educational assistants, plumbers, auto mechanics and welders are all trades that can be defined as “skilled trades,” and represent occupations that are integral to the function of Ontario’s economy. Apprentices learn a skilled occupation by combining in-school training courses with paid on-the-job training. About 90 per cent of apprenticeship training is provided in the workplace by an employer, while the remainder involves in-school instruction at a training institution like Confederation College.

Students must have Grade 12 English, or another approved English proficiency credential, such as IELTS, TOEFL, or Duolingo. Our Mature Student Assessment may also be an option. For more information, contact Recruitment recruitment@confederationcollege.ca or (807) 475-6335.
What's the selection process for a competitive program if I'm a high school student without the necessary courses? We recommend taking the required courses during Grade 11 or first semester of Grade 12. Your mid-term mark will be considered if you're currently enrolled in the necessary course. For those taking the course in the second semester, a minimum grade will be applied if your transcript shows your enrollment.
2. PROGRAMS THAT REQUIRE MATH CREDITS FOR ADMISSIONS Not all math credits are equal. Please confirm with a Student Recruitment Officer to find out which math is needed for your program. www.confederationcollege.ca/ studentrecruitment. 3. COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS Popular programs at Confederation College often have more applicants than available spots. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Additional selection criteria may apply. Submit your application before February 1, to be equally considered among other applicants. Mid-term grades in required courses will be considered during selection. 4. WAIT LISTS Starting February 1, a wait list is created for oversubscribed programs, ranked by grades rather than application date. If a seat becomes available, the next highest-ranked applicant is offered the spot. Applications to waitlisted programs are still accepted. Second round offers are sent on May 1. Seat openings are possible but not guaranteed. Offers can continue until the 10th day of the program, excluding those with medical requirements, early mandatory field schools or safety training. 5. TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS Confederation College provides students with access to satellite stations, library computer terminals, and computer services on campus. Most Technology and Media Arts programs provide technology and equipment for learning purposes. However, for specific requirements for the Computer Programming program, please contact your Program Coordinator.

What criteria are used for competitive program selection? Required course grades are primarily used for comparison. The Medical Radiation Technology program, however, selects based on 70% grades, 25% questionnaire, and 5% work/ volunteer experience. For average grades for first round offers, see www.confederationcollege.ca/ admissions/selection-statistics. What if I have workplace credits, low marks, or lack prerequisites for my chosen program? Confederation College offers several programs to help you qualify Pre-Health, Pre-Technology, College Access, General Arts and Science, Academic Upgrading, and the Mature Student Assessment. Consider the College Access or General Arts and Science programs if you're 19 years of age or older without a high school diploma.
