Getting Here

Located in the heart of the Niagara Region – just minutes from one of the world’s most well-known tourism destinations with events, shows and festivals happening daily – Niagara College (NC) offers more than 130 innovative programs housed between our campuses in Welland and Niagaraon-the Lake. Together they provide unique living labs and state-of-the art facilities that deliver experiential learning opportunities; numerous on-campus employment opportunities; world-class applied research; and smaller class sizes delivered in an intimate and welcoming environment.

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.

Our classes are taught by passionate faculty who are committed to student success, resulting in a truly, one-of-akind educational experience.

Located in Welland’s residential district, a strong reflection of our commitment to supporting the local communities we serve, the Welland Campus is a 90-minute drive to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and 2 hours to downtown Toronto and the beautiful 125-acre campus in Niagara-onthe-Lake which sits at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment is just a 70-minute drive to the GTA and 90 minutes to downtown Toronto.

Driving times: Hamilton – 45 minutes Oakville – 55 minutes Milton – 60 minutes Brantford – 60 minutes Mississauga – 60 minutes

The Niagara Transit Commision serves all of the municipalities in the region and will ensure you get where you need to go.

26 | School of Business and Management Studies

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.

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.

It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide accurate contact information; including mailing address, email address and phone numbers.

Applicants may be denied admission when the program and/or waiting list is filled, or when proof of all admission requirements has not been submitted by the required due date.
