College of New Caledonia campuses and study planning

CNC serves Prince George, Quesnel, Burns Lake, Mackenzie, Vanderhoof and Fort St. James; the program record determines where and when a student can study.

Choose a campus

CNC’s current site identifies campuses or service locations in Prince George, Quesnel, Burns Lake, Mackenzie, Vanderhoof and Fort St. James. The main contact listing places Prince George at 3330 22nd Avenue, but that address does not apply to every CNC offering.

Verify the offering

Start with the program directory. Then record the credential, campus, delivery method and start date shown on the selected program page. CNC says offerings and dates can vary by campus. They are updated through the school year. So a college-wide program name is not enough to plan travel or housing.

Decision checklist

  • Save the exact program page.
  • Confirm campus, intake and delivery together.
  • Use the campus contact for location-specific questions.

Apply to CNC for the available intake

CNC lists Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 as open and says Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 applications open October 1; requirements remain program-specific.

Check the cycle

CNC’s admissions page currently says applications for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 are open. Its current site notice says applications for Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 open October 1. Treat those as different cycles: an opening date is not a guarantee that every program and campus will accept applications in that term. CNC fills programs on a first-qualified, first-accepted basis. Its Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and Diagnostic Medical Sonography have a March 1 application and documentation deadline.

Use the correct applicant route

Domestic applicants can apply online and CNC lists a $40 application fee. International applicants use CNC’s separate international application route and its fee page lists a $125 non-refundable application fee. Check the selected program’s entry requirements before paying because specific program requirements take precedence over general admission rules.

Complete offer conditions

After application, CNC says it contacts applicants by email about missing documents or outstanding requirements. When an offer relies on self-declared grades, interim study or unofficial transcripts, the applicant must provide an official transcript with final grades by the program’s final fee deadline.

Decision checklist

  • Confirm the program, campus and intake are accepting applications.
  • Use the domestic or international application route that matches your status.
  • Submit final official records by the stated program deadline.

Compare CNC programs by campus and intake

CNC’s directory spans university studies, business, health, human services, technologies, trades, continuing education and upgrading, with details controlled by each program record.

Search the directory

The CNC directory can be filtered by area of study, campus, delivery method and start date. Use those filters to explore. Then read the complete program record. It shows length, credential, entry requirements, courses, delivery and current availability.

Read a multi-campus example

The Business Administration Diploma shows why the campus field matters. CNC currently lists Burns Lake, Mackenzie, Prince George, Quesnel and Vanderhoof, with in-class delivery and some courses available online. Its displayed fee is still TBD. So do not use a fee from another credential instead.

Keep fee examples scoped

The Information Technology and Networking Diploma is a different offering. CNC lists a two-year, 60-week diploma at Prince George for Fall 2026, delivered in class, with an estimated $11,902 fee. That estimate belongs to this program page and cycle context. Confirm the live record before budgeting.

Decision checklist

  • Filter by campus and start date.
  • Open entry requirements and course details.
  • Keep every fee and delivery claim attached to its program.

Budget CNC fees and financial aid by category

Program pages control domestic estimates, international students have separate application and deposit terms, and CNC’s 2026–27 award cycle has three published closing dates.

Use program-specific domestic costs

For domestic planning, use the fee shown on the exact program page and treat TBD as unresolved. CNC currently estimates the Information Technology and Networking Diploma at $11,902, while the Business Administration Diploma displays TBD. These examples cannot be generalized to another credential, campus or course load.

Separate international charges

For international applicants, CNC lists a $125 non-refundable application fee and a $10,000 tuition deposit payable only after an offer. The deposit is applied to program tuition and is not an extra tuition amount. CNC also announces a 2% service fee for credit-card tuition payments through PayMyTuition starting August 1, 2026, while listing other payment routes without that service fee.

Track the award cycle

CNC’s Financial Aid page lists 2026–27 scholarship, bursary and award applications opening August 17, 2026. Its closing dates are October 4, 2026 for fall, January 30, 2027 for winter and April 15, 2027 for spring. One application is considered at the closing dates within that intake period, but applicants still need to read each award’s criteria and required documents.

Verify funding eligibility

The same office routes students to StudentAid BC loans, grants, fee deferrals and payment-plan information. Eligibility and repayment depend on the relevant program or government assessment, so an aid listing is not an award or funding promise.

Decision checklist

  • Budget from the exact program and applicant category.
  • Treat the international deposit as tuition paid in advance.
  • Submit award documents before the applicable closing date.

Use CNC student services at your campus

CNC routes students to academic planning, learning, technology, wellness, Indigenous, accessibility and campus-life services, with availability varying by location.

Find the right campus service

CNC's current-student hub groups academic success, finances and technology. It also groups career services, health and wellness, and student responsibilities. Campus Life adds housing, bookstore, daycare and transit. It also adds student-union and club information. Check the named campus page or service contact. The service directory separates Prince George and regional locations.

Start accommodations early

Accessibility Services supports students with verifiable permanent, temporary, chronic or episodic disabilities. CNC advises you to contact the service early. For routine requests, generally at least one month before term. For support in labs, clinical placements or trade shops, three to six months ahead. Documentation needs depend on the support you request.

Use academic support

For academic work, students can use the Learning Commons, library resources, study rooms, tutoring and WriteAway guidance described by CNC. Confirm current hours and delivery before travelling. This matters most when you study at a regional campus.

Decision checklist

  • Choose the service page for your campus.
  • Discuss accommodations before the term begins.
  • Confirm current hours and appointment requirements.

Plan CNC career support and university transfer

CNC offers career-preparation tools and university-level study, while job outcomes and transfer decisions remain employer- and destination-specific.

Prepare for a job search

CNC’s Career Centre provides resume, cover-letter, portfolio, reference and interview preparation. It also points students to Devant workshops and tools, career exploration, job listings and fairs. These services help with preparation and search; they do not promise a placement or employment outcome.

Verify a transfer plan

Students considering university can begin with CNC University Studies and transfer advising. CNC says advisers help select transferable courses but places final responsibility for course selection on the student. Confirm each course in the BC Transfer Guide and with the receiving institution because admission, prerequisites and transfer credit are destination-specific.

Connect the program to the next step

Program career statements should also stay scoped. The IT and Networking diploma describes technical preparation with hands-on equipment, while a University Studies plan may involve one or two years before transfer. Choose between them by checking the credential, required courses and the next employer or university decision.

Decision checklist

  • Use career tools before submitting applications.
  • Name the receiving university and degree.
  • Verify course transfer and admission separately.
