Northern Lakes College 2012–2013 Calendar Application & Admission Students who are 17 years of age or older may apply to Northern Lakes College programs by submitting an application form and other required documentation as specified for their program. Admission Requirements Program entrance requirements vary from program to program and may include the following: • academic prerequisites (shown through testing and transcripts); • interest and aptitude (shown by completion of career investigations and interviews); • previous experience (shown through application information and letters of reference). Northern Lakes College admission requirements are designed to accommodate mature students. Applicants may not need a high school diploma to take programs or courses at Northern Lakes College. However, they must have the required prerequisites for the programs or courses selected. Provisional Admission: Applicants who do not meet all admission requirements for a program of study may ask that they be interviewed by the Dean to be considered for provisional admission. Provisional admission requires the applicant to complete a prior learning assessment and/or prescribed developmental studies or specified courses within the program prior to being converted to regular student status. Interested applicants need to submit an Application for Admission to the College and may be asked to submit documentation of prior learning and experience. Unclassified Student: Applicants who do not plan to pursue a certificate/diploma program but desire to take certain courses for personal benefit may be admitted as unclassified students without satisfying the pre-requisites of the program. A maximum of three courses may be taken at any given time as an unclassified student. Unclassified students are not eligible for student funding. Choosing a Program Check the program descriptions for specific entrance requirements as these vary. Counsellors and Admissions Specialists are available to assist in selecting a program and to discuss the entrance requirements. Program representatives, the College website, and College calendar provide additional information on Northern Lakes College programs and services. When to Apply Applications are accepted and reviewed on a continuous basis. Applicants are advised to apply early, at least three months prior to the program start date, to allow adequate time to complete the application processes and arrangements for funding. Space is limited in some programs, and applicants are accepted on a first qualified, first served basis. Application Form Obtain and complete an Application for Admission form and forward it to the Office of the Registrar. Forms are available at all Northern Lakes College locations and on the College website. Applicants should inform the College immediately of any changes in address or phone number(s) to ensure that they can be contacted about their application or program. Northern Lakes College is a participant in the Alberta Post- Secondary Application System (ApplyAlberta). This online application system provides the opportunity to apply to multiple Alberta Post-Secondary institutions and to authorize electronic transfer of Alberta high school and/or post-secondary transcripts from participating institutions. Applicants using ApplyAlberta will create a profile and then have an application submitted to Northern Lakes College. Transcripts will be forwarded to NLC (if they are from participating institutions) at no cost to the applicant. Visit ApplyAlberta.ca or the NLC website to complete an online application. Other Information or Documentation For most programs, transcripts of previous education are required and are to be attached to the application. Applicants are informed by letter or phone of any additional items that are required to meet the entrance criteria (e.g. testing, interviews, additional forms, etc.) 10 For more information call toll-free 1-866-652-3456
Northern Lakes College 2012–2013 Calendar Application Process When all the application information has been submitted, the application will be considered complete and will be reviewed for acceptance into the program. Applicants who meet all entrance requirements will be eligible to register for their program. A letter is sent to all applicants informing them of their acceptance status. For successful applicants there will be a timeline noted in which to register for courses and pay fees. If all spaces in the requested offering are filled, qualified applicants are placed on a waitlist and contacted when there is an opening. Waitlisted applicants are contacted by order of the date they are determined to be “qualified” (have met all the entrance criteria) and the timelines associated with their registration deadlines. Students applying in August have until the end of the last week of that month to meet program admissions and register for the next intake of his/her program. Applicants who do not qualify for admission will be informed of the requirements they must meet in order to become qualified. In some cases, this may include developing skills in another program. Our Counsellors can assist in setting up a career and education plan. The College reserves the right to cancel offerings of programs (including specific locations) due to low enrollments. Qualified applicants at these locations will be offered a space in an offering at another location if available at the same time. Fees & Funding For any financial support required, students should apply at least two months before the program start date (some funding sources have specific deadlines for funding applications). Our Counsellors are available to assist with information on available funding and applications. The Student Funding & Finance section of the Calendar provides information on some sponsorship programs available. Registration Registration begins May 1, 2012. Students in most programs (with the exception of Adult Basic Education, Adult High School and specific programs) are required to pay a $100 non-deferrable, non-refundable, tuition deposit (commitment fee) at the time of registration. Sponsored students may, in lieu of the deposit, provide evidence of sponsorship in the form of a confirmation letter from their sponsor or verification of Counsellor approved AEI support. The last date for program registration is the first day of classes for undersubscribed programs. Some programs may utilize an early cut-off date for registration to allow for preparatory work required for program entry and/or to address the needs of oversubscribed programs. Students in programs with multiple terms must register in required courses each term in order retain an active status for program completion Registered students must report to their program on the date indicated in their “Registration/Orientation Letter.” Non-attendance on this date may result in loss of the reserved space in the program unless arrangements have been made with the Office of the Registrar. Admitted students (qualified applicants) for the Adult Basic Education and Adult High School programs must report to the College on the date indicated in the “Letter of Acceptance” or in the “Registration/Orientation Letter.” Non-attendance on this date may result in loss of the reserved space in the program unless arrangements have been made with the Office of the Registrar.
