Algoma U and Northern College Sign Joint Admission Agreement

Beginning in the fall of 2015, students at Northern College of Applied Arts and Technology can enjoy a special Joint Admission Agreement with Algoma University, allowing graduates from diploma programs easier access and entrance into degree programs.

The new agreement will reduce the time, cost, and barriers that exist in transferring to a degree program. It will also allow students the opportunity to maximize their post-secondary education by combining their college diploma with a university degree and university-level learning.

Northern College students in two- or three-year programs will be guaranteed admission if they complete a Joint Admission Application within their first 30 days of studying at Northern College. Students will be provided with updated credit transfer frameworks and access to academic advisors, learning resources, library services, and sporting events. They will also be exempt from paying the additional costs associated with being a transfer student.

The agreement provides joint admissions to the Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Arts (general/honours), Bachelor of Computer Science (general/honours). Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Science (general/honours) and the Bachelor of Social Work degree programs.
