Only 1 active application is processed. Additional applications will be cancelled and the $95 application fee will not be refunded.


Step 1: Confirm your program is open

Note:
When you are choosing a program, be sure that you do not choose any “on-line” programs. Also, Algonquin College has 3 campuses – our main one on Woodroffe Avenue in Ottawa, and two satellite campuses – Perth (about 50 minutes from Ottawa) and Pembroke (about 1.5 hours from Ottawa). If you choose either Perth (PT) or Pembroke (PM) it is important to note that we do not have an International Student Office at those campuses. The International Education Centre is located on Woodroffe Campus.
