How's the application process at Sheridan College?

I'm looking at Sheridan College for next year and I want to know more about their application process. Are there any specific requirements or deadlines that I should be aware of? Also, how competitive is it to get in?

Sheridan College aims to create an open and accessible process for students. The application for admission is online and free, and you can start and finish it anytime. There are no explicit minimum requirements like GPA or test scores for admission, so it's mostly open access.

However, this doesn’t mean everyone is accepted into every program. Some programs have more competitive admission criteria. You'll need to check the website or reach out to the school directly for specifics on the program you're interested in.

In terms of deadlines, Sheridan Community College operates on a rolling admission policy, which means you can apply at any time. But, it's wise to apply well ahead of the start of the semester to ensure your chosen program has space and you have ample time for orientation, housing, and registration for courses. Class registration typically opens a couple of months before the start of each semester, and the best selection of classes is available to those who register early. You should also be aware of financial aid deadlines to make sure you're able to access any support you might qualify for.

As for how competitive it is to gain admission – given that Sheridan Community College operates with an open access policy, many who apply and complete the necessary steps are accepted.

Remember that once accepted, you'll need to take placement tests in English and Math to help ensure successful course placement. These tests help determine if you would benefit from remedial courses in these areas before moving into college-level work.

Good luck with your application process. Getting a head start and being proactive is the key to smoothly navigating the application, registration, and orientation procedures at Sheridan Community College.
