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.

The reliability of remote connections to college computers and software cannot be guaranteed for Macbook and Chromebook users.

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.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE SURVEILLANCE

The confidential Communicable Disease Surveillance (CDS) process must be completed and submitted to Niagara College Student Health Services prior to the start of the program or prior to the term which includes field placement, co-op or clinical opportunities and must be maintained annually. This process 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 process 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 process 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.

Child and Youth Care:

For details visit niagaracollege.ca/programs

Some program requirements must be met prior to registration. An offer of admission may be rescinded if the deadline is not met.

FIRST-AID AND CPR

A current Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR level C) and Standard First Aid certification is highly recommended by placement agencies and employers. Certification is required for Early Childhood Education programs. Students are responsible for all costs associated with the certification process.

Please note that employment in the field of caring for others may require lifting up to 22.7 kilograms (50 pounds). Additionally, some Boards of Education have instituted a fit for field test.

The Niagara College Therapeutic Recreation Activity Collective (nc-TRAC) provides therapeutic recreation services to students and the broader community.

Justice and Fitness Studies

Students, seniors’ home create enduring and pandemic-proof fitness program.

There’s more to working out than exercise. That’s what a recent partnership between Radiant Care Tabor Manor and Niagara College is proving.

Together, NC faculty and students, and residents are developing a virtual wellness platform that promotes the physical and social aspects of fitness while boosting seniors’ technology skills.

The project which was ultimately prompted by the pandemic, saw the social isolation of seniors take a toll in more ways than one.

Isabella Tremonte, an Exercise Science for Health and Performance alumna has been leading in-person classes at the Fitness and Wellness Centre at Tabor Manor and the seniors are showing up early and staying late to work in some social time. The workouts are recorded and uploaded to YouTube for residents at different locations to view.

The idea is that no matter the state of the world, pandemic or otherwise, residents will always have access to fitness programs.

The seniors love to engage with students and are invested in them doing well. They receive a lot of joy and the impacts are being felt both ways.

The Justice & Fitness Training Centre at Niagara College Our Occupational Testing and Practice sessions take place at Niagara College – Welland campus in the Occupational Testing Lab (Gym C), offering practice and testing sessions for individuals interested in a career in law enforcement. Our sessions are conducted in a controlled environment and during the sessions our qualified exercise professional staff will explain the test protocols and demonstrate the requirements.

I’ve done the university degree and it didn’t provide me with the experience I wanted. Lots of memorization, teaching of myself and heavily weighted exam regurgitation. I didn’t feel like I learned much or that I was very important as a student. At Niagara it is extremely hands on, I learn something in lecture one day and have to be able to understand and apply it for actual usage the very next. Classes are small and the teachers know you personally so the quality of learning and support is improved. I actually feel like I’m being prepared for what my future job entails.

WHEN WILL I KNOW IF I HAVE BEEN ADMITTED?

Programs starting: September 2025, January 2026 or May 2026

November 1st, 2024 is the earliest offer date for admission to full time Postsecondary, Bachelor’s Degree and Graduate Certificate programs. Admission decisions will be released according to the application deadlines to Niagara College, available at niagaracollege.ca/dates

A current list of open and competitive programs is available at niagaracollege.ca/status

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

(see competitive program selection and ranking below). 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 (admissions or pre-registration) is not received by the Admissions Office before the start of classes, or deadline specified in their acceptance and/ or pre-registration documentation. 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 wait list 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 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 subject-specific requirements for the programs to which they are applying in the first semester of their final year or during their third year of studies in order that final marks for these courses may be used in the selection.
