Program details

Overview

The Microsoft Office suite products that are available free to Niagara College students though Office 365 do have versions that work with Macbooks and Chromebooks, and most internet-based applications will work as well. However, some program-specific software is designed to run on Windows 10/11, and the successful download of these applications cannot be guaranteed.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic applicants need an OSSD or equivalent, including English at the Grade 12 (C/U) level; Mathematics at the Grade 11 (C/U/M) level is recommended but not required. Offers are issued once the published requirements are met and a seat is available. All students need a Windows-based computer (Windows 11 recommended); the college does not support Chromebooks or Apple products. International applicants submit official, translated secondary or post-secondary transcripts and proof of graduation, plus proof of English proficiency; the programme page defers to Niagara's general international admission page for the diploma/certificate English bar of IELTS Academic 6.0 overall (no band under 5.5), TOEFL iBT 80 (minimum 20 in Writing and Speaking), Duolingo English Test 105+ (no subscore under 95), PTE Academic 58+ (no skill under 53), Cambridge English 169 (no skill under 162), or CAEL 60 (no band under 50).
