St.

Clair College of Applied Arts and Technology is a public college founded in 1967, based in Windsor, Ontario, with a second campus in Chatham-Kent and a downtown Windsor location housing its arts and media prograMs. The college offers diploma, advanced diploma, certificate, graduate (postgraduate) certificate, and degree programs across seven academic schools listed on its programs index - the Zekelman School of Business, School of Community Studies, School of Engineering Technologies, School of Health Sciences, Zekelman School of Information Technology, School of Nursing, and School of Skilled Trades - alongside a School of Academic Studies and a Specialty Programs stream. As of the Fall 2025 Day-10 count, total enrollment across the Windsor and Chatham campuses was 9,383 students, split roughly 82% domestic (7,645) and 18% international (1,732) - a sharp year-over-year decline in the international stream following federal study-permit cap changes.

St. Clair publishes tuition on a per-program, per-semester schedule rather than a single flat rate, and runs Fall (September), Winter (January), and Spring/Summer (May) terms, with most two-year diploma programs delivered across Fall and Winter only.

On-campus and college-affiliated residences (GEM Residence, Quittenton Residence in Windsor; a Chatham residence) are available alongside off-campus housing.
