September 15: You can apply for programs that start the following fall (e.g., apply in fall 2006 for programs starting in fall 2007)
October 31: Deadline date for priority admission to Trades programs starting in January/February. Note: Applications are still accepted after this point as space permits.
March 31: Applications for limited enrolment programs for the upcoming fall semester received after this date will be processed as space permits.
April 24: Submission deadline for supporting documents for admission to fall limited enrolment programs. This includes secondary school Progress Reports or final transcripts.
May 2: Submission deadline for all supporting documents (including final transcripts) for the Dental Hygiene program.
I've applied to CNC in the past - do I need to pay the application fee again?
Yes, if you are changing programs and if you have missed a semester.
What's a PEN#? How do I find out my personal PEN#?
It stands for Provincial Education Number. To find your PEN, look on the official transcript you received from the government when you completed Grade 12, or contact your high school.
What documents should I submit with my application?
An official transcript of your grades. You can get this from your high school or from other post-secondary institutions you’ve attended.
How will you let me know if I've been accepted?
When you’ve been accepted into a program you’ll get a package in the mail with all the requirements that you still have to handle.
