Welcome to Niagara

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

Local transit in Niagara makes it easy to get where you need to go. The municipalities of Welland, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls each have their own transit systems, and Niagara Region transit is also available to help you travel between neighbouring communities.

In addition, for students travelling to Niagara, GO Transit provides daily service directly to NC’s campus in Niagaraon-the-Lake with route details available at niagaracollege.ca/GO

WELLAND CAMPUS

niagaracollege.ca

There is plenty to experience at the Welland Campus which has seen a complete overhaul in the past 10 years with expansions, additions and renovations to every section of the facility. The original home of NC, this campus is a leader in sustainable technology and operates state-of-the-art, modern learning environments designed to help students succeed in their education and career training. The Welland Campus is located in the heart of a residential area near shopping centres and a variety of food outlets. The Seaway Mall and Niagara Street (shopping and food) are within walking distance of the campus. Transit connections via Welland Transit are available from the college, or from bus stops close-by. Niagara Falls, one of the wonders of the natural world, is only 25 minutes away by car. The beautiful Niagara Parkway, Niagara River, and Ontario Wine Country are within driving distance as well. Sand beaches and summertime fun are at your fingertips – visit the north shore of Lake Erie, one of Ontario’s Great Lakes. Known as Ontario’s “South Coast”, the shore area offers swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, festivals and more, and is only a brief car ride away.

Since opening in 1998 the 125-acre Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagaraon-the-Lake has been the centre for NC’s business, hospitality, environmental, culinary and wine programs. It has blossomed into a masterpiece of hands-on learning through the innovative development of several on-campus teaching enterprises. It has most recently seen the addition of a state-of-the-art fitness and research centre in the Marotta Family Innovation Complex together with Canada’s first and only Cannabis Institute and Teaching Distillery. Students and visitors alike can enjoy two worlds: the natural landscape of the Niagara escarpment situated adjacent to the campus and the lively surrounding communities. There is something for everyone, including a 100+ brand outlet shopping centre across the street. Niagara Falls and the beautiful Niagara Parkway, Niagara River, and Ontario Wine Country are all close by. Students and residents can also visit beautiful sand beaches and enjoy summertime fun along the shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The Niagara area also offers excellent recreational fishing, boating, hiking, as well as vibrant festivals and events.

An unprecedented Canadian educational experience.

The opportunity that the Canadian Food and Wine Institute offers students is unprecedented in Canadian education. NC’s on-site 40 acres of vineyards, hop yard, culinary gardens, apiary, fruit tree orchard and greenhouse integrate with our Teaching Winery, Teaching Distillery, Teaching Brewery, and our Teaching Restaurant Benchmark, to provide students valuable hands-on, farm-to-table experiences. Students looking to round out their culinary education should also look at the Canadian Food and Wine Institute at Niagara College, where Canada’s only teaching winery is located, as well as an on-campus brewery for aspiring craft beer makers. In addition to training for both sweet and savoury sides, there are tea and wine sommelier programs, and classes on how to run your own brewery and winery. Other accolades include winning the title of the Best Brewing Program in North America at the US Open Beer Championship 2016, for our Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Program. The Niagara College Brewmaster program offers students over 500 hours of hands-on training in our on-site craft Teaching Brewery. In our unique, award-winning brewing program, students are grounded in the essentials of brewing, with a focus on exploring further into creative brewing, marketing and management. Students learn to look beyond the valve and the microscope — to be more than technicians — to be future leaders of the craft beer industry.

COMPUTER TRANSPORTATION COMPUTER

Program Requirements: COMPUTER For all postsecondary and graduate programs, students are responsible for ensuring that they are in possession of a desktop or laptop computer that meets program-specific requirements noted on the admission requirements section of each program website at niagaracollege.ca/programs. In general and for programs that have no program-specific computer technology requirements, students are responsible for ensuring that they have a microsoft windows 10 based desktop or laptop system that meets or exceeds the following general personal computer technology requirements: • A desktop or laptop system. A system running on an updated microsoft windows 10 operating system – minimum 265gb ssd storage and 8 gb memory is recommended, and the college will not be able to provide support for different systems, and any provided software may not operate properly. • An integrated or peripheral video camera, microphone and speaker system. • Reliable internet connectivity with broadband capabilities (a minimum download speed of 5 mbps) is recommended. Academic software for your courses (supported under the microsoft windows 10 operating system) will be made available for download and remote use. Access will also be provided to remote high performance computer labs if software downloads are not feasible. Note: there is no support for chromebooks or apple products unless they are specifically outlined in the requirements of your program.

TRANSPORTATION Students are responsible for their own transportation in order to complete program requirements which may not be readily accessible by public transportation. Program requirements

could include co-ops, placements, volunteer requirements, practical labs, field projects, assignments, clinicals, or any other off-campus visits required as part of the program’s curriculum. Some placements require students to visit clients at home or in other locations to carry out their placement work. Therefore, provision of transportation for work placement will require access to a private vehicle.

CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK Many employers have instituted a CRC with vulnerable sector screening as a requirement for appropriate field placements and/or subsequent employment. The CRC may be required at the beginning of the program or at the beginning of the term which includes field placement. All costs associated with the CRC are the responsibility of the student. CRC requirements must be met or the student will be denied placement and/or access to clinic(s). Those with criminal charges pending or an uncleared criminal record (criminal convictions must be pardoned, sealed or expunged) are not eligible for a field placement experience. Field placements must be completed in order to graduate. For some programs the documentation for the CRC will be completed on orientation day by the program.

may take up to 10 weeks or more and require a visit to a personal physician and/or a Public Health Department. If the CDS Form is not completed, your placement, co-op or clinic opportunity will be denied. All costs associated with vaccinations and/or verification, are the responsibility of the student. Please view the current CDS form and Checklist for requirements at niagaracollege.ca/healthservices/cds

PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY A significant number of field placements require students to be at least 19 years of age in order to assume a beginning level of professional responsibility. Those who are below 19 years of age could have their field placement options limited, which in turn could delay graduation. For Social Service Worker students: The professional responsibility applies to matters identified in the Code of Ethics of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. The code describes a social service worker’s responsibilities related to confidentiality, conflict of interest, personal boundaries and other areas. The code is available at ocswssw.org. For Child and Youth Care students: Persons who have benefited from child and youth work or related helping professions are often attracted to this field. Such persons can bring valuable experience to their professional careers. It is strongly recommended that a person complete at least one year of successful recovery and stabilization before registering in this program. This program should not be utilized as a component of a recovery process.

As a recent graduate from Niagara College’s PSW program, I believe my experience at Niagara College has left me with a great sense of knowledge and pride as a PSW. I found the teachers in the PSW program to be very supportive and very knowledgeable. During my placements, I realized the importance of PSWs and that I have the opportunity to be a great impact on clients’ lives. I love interacting with people and fell in love with working with the patients on my consolidation. Many thanks to all the professors in the PSW program for their support and guidance.

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.
