Confederation College Guide
Most programs run in Thunder Bay. Check your program's campus, status and competitive rules first.
Thunder Bay and seven regional campuses
Confederation College's main campus is in Thunder Bay, with seven regional campuses across northwestern Ontario: Dryden, Greenstone (Geraldton), Lake of the Woods (Kenora), Northshore (Marathon), Rainy River District (Fort Frances), Red Lake and Sioux Lookout. Regional campuses offer limited options for international students. Oshki-Wenjack, an Indigenous institution in Thunder Bay, delivers some programs in partnership with Confederation.
Competitive programs fill first
Five programs are competitive and score applicants on required courses: Aviation Flight Management, Dental Hygiene, Paramedic, Medical Radiation Technology and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Required courses must be done or in progress by February 1, and Ontario residents get priority for first-round offers. Programs are listed as open, waitlisted, closed or suspended.
Fall 2027 dates in the academic calendar
Confederation's academic calendar already lists 2027 dates for first-year domestic students: February 1 for equal consideration, May 3 to confirm your offer, June 15 for the $200 deposit and July 23 to meet offer conditions for the Fall 2027 intake. Residence rates and tuition tables still cover 2026–27.
