Registration Information
Acknowledgement Form and

You will receive an Acknowledgement form and
student card immediately when registering in
person. Acknowledgements for registrations
done online or sent by mail or fax will be
mailed out to the student by Canada Post.
The acknowledgement form includes your
user ID and password for MoCoMotion, the
College's information portal. Carry your student
card for security purposes and bring your
acknowledgement form to class as proof of
registration. A fee of $6.00 per term applies for
duplicate forms.
NOTE: Please ensure your address
and phone information is correct in our
registration system. This will ensure
communication with you is available in the
event of a course cancellation/reschedule,
etc.
For credit courses leading to a college
certificate or diploma, you require a secondary
school diploma or equivalent, or you must be
19 years of age or older on the day the course
starts. The college reserves the right to restrict
enrolment for most general education and noncredit
continuing education courses to those 19
years of age and over. International students
who are not permanent residents of Canada
require permission to register from Citizenship
and Immigration Canada. Only under special
circumstances can a credit course be audited.
The audit application form must be approved by
the Associate Dean at the time of registration.
You will not receive a credit for an audited
course; an AU designation is used for the
transcript. Regular fees apply.
