Registration information
Please call the Blanche Macdonald Centre to set up your personal appointment with an Admissions Director to review your career objectives, discuss industry career opportunities, and to tour our campuses. If you are an out of town or International student, phone interviews may be arranged. Class size is very limited. We are receiving applications seven to nine months in advance of desired course starting dates. Early registration is required to guarantee a seat in a class.
Once you have been accepted into the program, it is essential that you process your registration as early as possible. To ensure small class sizes and a high teacher-to-student ratio, it is necessary for the college to limit enrollment. For students who wish to have a preferred program starting date or for those students who are applying for Student Loan funding, advance registration is strongly advised.
