Niagara College

Welcome to Niagara Nestled in the vibrant Niagara Region, minutes from a renowned tourism hub brimming with daily events, Niagara College (NC) boasts over 120 innovative programs across its Welland and Niagara-on-the-Lake campuses. These locations offer unique living labs, advanced facilities for hands-on learning, numerous on-campus jobs, world-class applied research, and small, supportive classes.

Benefitting from proximity to diverse cultural attractions, entertainment, and the Canada-US border, both campuses foster a warm, supportive culture and deliver relevant programs with real-world experience. Passionate faculty prioritize student success, creating a distinctive educational journey.

Conveniently located and easily accessible via major highways and the Niagara Transit Commission, NC’s campuses are approximately a 20-minute drive apart, connecting students to major urban centers and the US border.

Niagara College acknowledges that we are gathered on the shared traditional lands of the Anishinaabe (pronounced: ahnish-naw-bay) and Haudenosaunee (pronounced: ho-dehneh-show-nee). We offer our sincere gratitude to them as the stewards of this land, which is protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement’s three principles: to take only what you need, leave enough for others, and always keep the dish clean. Today, many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities from across Turtle Island continue to live and work in this territory. Acknowledging the peoples whose territory we are on, and the agreements that guide their stewardship of the land, reminds us to reflect on and respect their unique relationship to this land. It also is an invitation for all of us to identify and engage in actions that respect and reinforce our commitments to Truth and Reconciliation and Indigenous Rights.

Getting here No matter which direction you are travelling from, both the Welland Campus (WC) and Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-theLake (NOTL) are easy to get to thanks to the transportation corridor and vast network of highways which connect Niagara College to both Canada’s largest city and the most populous regions of the USA. It takes approximately 20 minutes to drive between the campuses. Transit options are available.

What is it? The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that can help you pay for college or university.

OSAP offers funding through grants which is money you don’t have to pay back and student loan which is money you need to repay once you’re done school.

When you apply for OSAP, you are automatically considered for both grants and a loan. If you don’t want to take a loan, and you’re a full-time or part-time student, you can decline it after your application is approved.

OSAP can help you pay for many important things you need to complete your studies at college such as tuition; books and equipment; fees charged by your school; and even living expenses (full-time students only) and child care (for full-time and parttime students with children).

To learn more, visit the provincial website.

Scholarships and bursaries are resources to help you finance your postsecondary education. Niagara College offers over $3 million in scholarships and bursaries each year for domestic students.

In most cases, timetable selection is blocked until all admission and pre-registration conditions have been met.

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. Eligible applicants will be ranked for offering or placement on a waitlist based on ranking as determined by program selection criteria grouped by: a) permanent residents of Ontario b) permanent residents of other provinces and territories in Canada c) applicants from other countries Selection is based on the average of final grades in required

154

Niagara College

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 subjectspecific requirements for the programs to which they are applying in the first semester of their final year or during their third year of studies so final marks for these courses may be used in the selection. This is particularly important for programs requiring SCH4C where no grade 11 Chemistry mark can be used in selections.

Preferred preparatory programs (Pre-Community Services and Pre-Health Sciences): the preferred admission process for these programs into competitive programs does not supersede the admissions policy regarding selection and ranking of applicants for competitive programs.

How do I confirm my offer of acceptance?

An applicant may confirm to only one offer of acceptance at one time. Confirmation of acceptance is completed online at ontariocolleges.ca.

In order to secure your place in the program, you must confirm by the deadline specified in your offer of acceptance letter. All colleges to which you applied will be informed of your decision.

If you are an international student, please refer to the instructions listed at international.niagaracollege.ca/how-toapply/ 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 position on the waiting list is determined by your evaluation score compared to other applicants, or by your application date if you have applied after the application deadline. 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?

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. Applicants wishing to make a formal appeal can follow the appeal of academic decisions policy and procedure found on our website. niagaracollege.ca/appeal

Can I be readmitted to a program?

Applicants with previous postsecondary education will be assessed for transfer credits upon receipt of an official transcript from the previous institution.

Niagara College believes that many people acquire college-level learning and skills through various situations such as prior work experience, community work, noncredit courses, self-directed study, travel and military service. Candidates who can demonstrate that they have achieved the learning outcomes of a specific course may be granted Niagara College credits based on an assessment of their prior learning. PLAR assessments require time and often involve multiple service areas. It is recommended that applicants start this process no later than three (3) weeks prior to the start of classes.

Prior learning assessment and recognition plar@niagaracollege.ca niagaracollege.ca/plar Do I have any future study options?
