How to apply: To apply you must:
1. Send a completed application to the office via regular mail, FAX or email.
You can indicate up to 22 courses of your choice (with a minimum of three to be a full time registered student). You may submit one application form per academic year. A non-refundable application fee must accompany each form. For 2008/09 applications (programs starting between the 5th of January 2009 and 31 December 2008) the application fee is $80.00 CAD and must be paid within 1 day of acceptance or you may forfeit your application to another candidate. This is due to high enrollment which is limited to a maximum of 15 students per semester, including correspondence or distance learning students.
2. While it is possible to receive acceptances to all of your choices, you are only permitted to accept one program (eg. General FAT Program) offer. If you choose not to enroll in our programs at the time of acceptance your application will remain on file for 4 months. After that you must reapply with no guarantee of gaining acceptance due to limited enrollment. Students who are on the waiting list will be given priority over those who reapply.
If you are a current highschool student, we encourage you to work with your high school guidance office to complete your application. Contact your guidance office for further information.
