Program details
Overview
The field placement itself is graded (S/U) as satisfactory or unsatisfactory based upon meeting the hour requirements established at the beginning of the placement, the employer evaluation, submission of field placement work logs and field placement documents. All students are expected to achieve the total work hours outlined at the beginning of the term to meet field placement requirements. Any missed shifts must be made up at an agreed-upon time by both the field placement supervisor and field placement officer, in advance. As with any other class, final grades will be posted to Blackboard when the semester concludes.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), Ontario Secondary School Certificate, Certificate of Accomplishment, or equivalent, or Mature Student status; no specific course grades are set. The programme page states no English or French language-test requirement of its own. Applicants must demonstrate a level of independence that does not require constant support or supervision, be able to manage their own transportation to the college and to field placements or off-campus activities, attend a mandatory information session, and complete an interview to discuss personal goals and confirm suitability for the program. Students who have already graduated from any college program are not eligible for this program, and the page refers domestic applicants to the college's separate pre-admission requirements for further detail.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Niagara College's equal-consideration deadlines apply equally to domestic and international applicants to competitive programs, published for the 2026-2027 cycle: for September 2026 entry the date was 1 February 2026, for January 2027 entry it is 5 June 2026, and for May 2027 entry it is 30 October 2026, each followed roughly three weeks later by a document deadline and an earliest-offer date.
