Georgian College

The required documents depend on prior study. Current Ontario high-school students ask guidance to send grades to ontariocolleges.ca; out-of-province students send an official transcript themselves. Ontario postsecondary transfer applicants can request transcripts through the application, while applicants from institutions outside Ontario arrange delivery to Georgian. International credentials may require evaluation through an approved provider and may also need English-language evidence.

After an offer, follow the Applicant Portal and accept through the stated route. Georgian lists minimum non-refundable deposits of $250 for domestic students and $2,500 for international students. The posted deadlines are June 15, 2026 for fall 2026, Oct. 15, 2026 for winter 2027 and Feb. 15, 2027 for summer 2027. Offers after a posted date can receive a rolling portal deadline.

Georgian offers more than 130 full-time programs. Colleges can start sending offers on November 1 for the next academic year, and offers continue until programs fill or waitlists form. Highly competitive programs rank applicants on academic grades and can release offers from February 1, the equal-consideration deadline. After February 1 they consider applications first come, first served while space remains, and meeting the minimum doesn't guarantee admission.

Computer Programming requires Grade 12 English and any Grade 12 Mathematics at the C or U level. Automotive Business requires Grade 12 English plus Grade 11 or 12 Mathematics, with at least 60% in the specified Grade 11 college or university mathematics courses. Both also publish program-specific laptop requirements, which students must budget separately.

Practical Nursing requires English, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry or Physics at its listed grade levels. The program is highly competitive and recommends at least 75% in each prerequisite. Clinical participation also requires a verified Clinical Preparedness Permit and other non-academic conditions. Students provide their own placement transportation, and schedules can include evenings, weekends or shifts of varying length.

Program pages list upcoming starts by campus. On October 3, 2026, Computer Programming showed Barrie starts in winter 2027, fall 2027 and winter 2028. Practical Nursing showed winter 2027 at Barrie, Orangeville and Owen Sound, and fall 2027 at Barrie, Owen Sound and Schlegel Innis Landing. Its winter 2028 start runs at all four sites.

Georgian's 2026–27 fee schedule, republished September 29, 2026, prices each semester by program and campus. For a fall 2026 start at Barrie, the first semester of Computer Programming or Automotive Business costs $2,442.57 for domestic students and $9,545.01 for international students. Practical Nursing's first semester costs $2,357.57 domestic at Barrie and $2,281.01 at Owen Sound. International students pay $9,460.01 at Barrie and $9,383.45 at Owen Sound.

Current students can book accessibility, navigator or counselling appointments through Navigate360; future students call Student Success for accessibility appointments. Georgian offers free, confidential counselling to all Georgian students through virtual and in-person appointments during published weekday hours. Its page also separates after-hours and emergency routes, so an appointment service should not replace urgent help.

The student-services directory routes students to tutoring, learning strategies, library services, health, testing, Indigenous services, peer mentors and the Georgian College Students' Association. Access and delivery can differ by campus or service. Use the named service page and booking method instead of assuming that every support has a staffed office at every location.

At Barrie Campus, a plastic or digital ONEcard is the pass for the Athletics and Fitness Centre, equipment borrowing and event check-in. Full-time student fees must be paid before the fitness membership can be activated. This is a Barrie access rule; students at another campus should check that campus's current facility and membership route.

GCSA lists clubs and orientation opportunities at all campuses. Its current page places executive elections, promotional crew roles and GCSA business employment at Barrie and Owen Sound; director positions may be available at Owen Sound, Midland, Orangeville and South Georgian Bay. Check the campus label and current posting before planning around an activity or job.

Students take a Co-op and Career Preparation course in first year and can use one-to-one help with employer expectations, resumés, cover letters, interviews and program-related career planning. International students need the study-permit documentation required for mandatory co-op and a Social Insurance Number to work. Program rules still control the number, timing and assessment of terms.

Career Success supports prospective students, current students and graduates up to two years after graduation. Career consultants offer planning, assessments and job-search preparation across programs and campuses, with remote and in-person service. Students and recent graduates can use the Career Hub and GeorgianConnects, but a posting or advising appointment is not an employer offer.
