Application Process:
APPLICATION: Complete and submit the Northern Lakes College application form (available at all Northern Lakes College locations and on the college website). TRANSCRIPTS: Provide an official high school and/or post-secondary transcript. This must be forwarded directly to Northern Lakes College, Admissions Services, from the granting institution (there may be a charge for this). If you attended high school in Alberta, the College may be able to obtain marks directly from Alberta Learning for you. When transcripts are received at NLC, they are reviewed to determine if the academic requirements for admission to the program are met. ACADEMIC SKILLS APPRAISAL: If transcripts are not available or do not show the academic requirements, applicants may complete the Academic Skills Appraisal for the English or Math (or both) requirement. The College uses the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). If testing is required, the applicant will be informed and arrangements made for writing the test. Although every effort will be made to set up the testing at a location and time most convenient for the applicant, it may be necessary to travel to a College campus for this. ACCEPTANCE: Applicants who meet the academic requirements will be accepted and offered a space in the next available offering of the program. In some cases, the spaces at a specific location may be full and accepted applicants will be placed on a waitlist. These applicants will be accepted in the order of ‘first qualified, first served.” It may also be possible to transfer to another location if there is space. Applicants will receive a letter informing them of their acceptance status. FUNDING: Applicants are encouraged to check on funding options early. Counsellors can assist with identifying funding options and applying for sponsorship of fees and living costs. REGISTRATION: Before the start date of the program, accepted applicants will receive information about registration dates, times, locations and other information to assist them in planning.
