Making the transition to college can be exciting yet challenging - and we are here to support you every step of the way.
How Can We Help?
We’re here to connect you with the right services both on and off campus, work with you to find solutions for any challenges or barriers, and provide the best support possible to help you achieve your goals - academically, personally, and socially.
Our team also helps facilitate campus celebrations, promote events, offer customized classroom presentations and workshops, assist with preferred name change requests, and much more.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA)
At Canadore College, we foster a positive, inclusive, and accepting campus community that empowers, values, supports, and promotes accountability, equity, equality, human rights, respect, justice, and safety.
We are committed to leading innovation, change, and growth toward a safe, equitable, diverse, and respectful community - one that fosters belonging, authenticity, and respect for all.
Access and Inclusion Features:
Youth in Care Bursary
Canadore College and Nipissing University are helping to improve access to post-secondary education for youth placed in the care of the Canadian Children’s Aid Society through the Youth in Care Bursary. There are up to five bursaries per year to youth currently or formerly in foster care.
Thinking about College, but don’t know where to start?
Entry Level Programs
At Canadore College, you can start fresh with entry-level programs designed for adults 19 and older — no diploma required. Whether you’ve been working, raising a family, or just felt school wasn’t for you before, this is your chance to try something new.
Preferred name change requests can be processed prior to your program beginning, or at any point throughout your time with us at Canadore. It is extremely important to us to ensure that you are identified properly in our hallways, classrooms, and all other extensions of our Canadore community.
When successfully carried out, your dead name/legal name will be changed to reflect your preferred name on all of your front facing online learning components.
This will include:
- Class lists
- Discussion Boards
- Drop Boxes
- iLearn student profile
Note:
- Additionally, one’s preferred name can be reflected on your bus pass/student card! If you’re able to login to Self Service ahead of your program start, please update your account information and your bus pass/student ID will be produced with your preferred name. If you weren’t able to do so ahead of time, please reach out to Access and Inclusion and we’ll help you to be re-issued a new ID card.
- If a student decides to change their name legally our admissions team can facilitate a system wide change for all of their college documentation (transcripts, diplomas, etc.) – at that point in time, Access and Inclusion can help facilitate this process with student consent.
Canadore College is dedicated to taking action in equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) to minimize systemic obstacles and foster a more embracing and equitable environment for all applicants and students. Our commitment to action is a conscious decision to promote respectful communication and outreach with all applicants. It is our collective responsibility to inspire anti-oppressive practices that embrace innovation and recognize the significance of diversity to accomplish sustainable and significant change.
At Canadore, EDI -related data obtained through the application process will not be used to influence an admissions decision, however, may be used for communication outreach.
We might use applicant information to provide supportive and personalized communications (like emails) about services or opportunities depending on an applicant's intersecting identities. Cumulative EDI data may also be used for statistical or informational needs to improve Canadore’s services, policies, and everyday operations. We pledge to be open and honest about the EDI work we do, the decisions we make, and the reasons these things matter to us. Our dedication and efforts to develop inclusive learning environments are ongoing, and we base them on the opinions of people from communities that deserve equity.
