Confirm the diploma offering

The current comparison lists the credential as Diploma, duration Two Years, and September 2026 on-campus delivery at Corner Brook and Prince Philip Drive. It lists the current program application and delivery status separately for domestic and international applicants. CNA says the program was formerly known as Computer Systems and Networking. The IT school page describes practical labs, systems, networking and cybersecurity learning across its offerings.

Understand the work term

CNA’s IT overview says work-integrated learning can include labs, capstone projects and program-related work placements. The IT school page identifies a required 15-week work term for Systems and Network Administration. Participation is competitive and follows successful completion of the preceding academic terms with at least a 2.00 GPA. The program comparison places it in the final semester. This is a required work term, not the separate Software Development (Co-op) route or the seven-week Work Experience used by other named IT programs.
