Information sessions
Douglas College info sessions provide important details such as admissions requirements, co-op opportunities, career pathways, university transfer options, curriculum guidelines and more. Plus, each program specific information session is led by a faculty member from that program, so you get to interact and converse with your future instructor(s).
If you’re an Indigenous or International prospective student, be sure to indicate this on the registration form. You’ll be invited to a pre information session held on the same day as your main session, from 4-4:45pm. This is a great opportunity to connect with our Indigenous Recruiter Advisor or Douglas International and share any questions or concerns you may have.
