Direct Entry/Advanced Standing

What if I already have a university degree in an unrelated discipline?

Any candidate with a degree from an accredited university in any discipline is eligible to enter the second year (level 3) of the program. If you wish to apply to the higher level when you make your application at Ontario Colleges please ensure that you select Level 3. You will also need to make arrangements to have an official university transcript sent to the Registrar’s Office at Algonquin College. You can request this transcript from most Ontario Colleges and Universities be electronically sent to OCAS. However, if you completed your degree outside of Ontario, you would have to make a request via your University or College to have your transcript sent to OCAS via paper copy. This transcript should indicate that your degree has been conferred.

PLEASE NOTE: We only accept three block transfer students every year, so the earlier you apply through the Ontario College’s website, the better your chance of securing a spot in the program.
