Mohawk College Guide
Begin with the exact program, campus and intake. Mohawk's learning locations serve different fields and services.
Choose the live campus and intake
Mohawk's program search separates Fennell, Stoney Creek, the Institute for Applied Health Sciences at McMaster, Aviation, partner locations and online delivery. Right now, the campus-tour page offers Fennell, IAHS and Stoney Creek routes. Confirm the live program location. Do not assume that every Hamilton-area program uses Fennell.
Match programs to learning locations
Computer Systems Technology – Software Development is in person at Fennell. Practical Nursing is based at IAHS at McMaster. The search also identifies skilled-trades, aviation and partner locations. Campus affects commute, facilities and access to in-person services, while the program page controls the actual intake and delivery.
Build one current plan
Before you apply, write down the program number. Also record the credential, duration, start, location and open or closed status. Then match the admission route and tuition category. Match the placement or co-op sequence too. Also match the housing commute. A broad subject label cannot show that a specific intake is still open.
Decision checklist
- Confirm the current program status.
- Match the program to its named location.
- Use one intake across admission, fees and housing.
Mohawk College Admissions
Use the application route and deadlines for the exact applicant, program and intake.
Apply through the correct system
Mohawk directs domestic applicants who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents to the Ontario College Application System. Ontario Colleges currently charges a non-refundable $150 fee for up to five choices, with no more than three at one college, in one August-to-July academic year. International and apprenticeship applicants follow separate Mohawk routes.
Meet competitive-program timing
For oversubscribed programs, Mohawk lists equal consideration by Feb. 1 for September starts and June 1 for January starts. It then ranks required-subject grades and may require portfolios, questionnaires or information sessions. Practical Nursing separately labels itself competitive and late release; its September 2026 intake is currently closed, while January and May 2027 show open.
Accept and register from official records
Check the offer letter for the acceptance due date, then complete payment and registration through Mohawk's stated systems. Submit the documents and prerequisites on the individual program record. An open search status does not waive admission requirements, and a paid Ontario Colleges fee does not guarantee an offer.
How Mohawk ranks competitive applicants
Competitive selection uses the average of your highest senior-level final grades in the required courses. Some programs add more criteria, and meeting the minimum doesn't guarantee admission. Ontario residents get priority, then permanent residents of other provinces and territories. Late applications are considered only while space remains.
Program codes change for fall 2027
Mohawk is changing program codes for fall 2027 while keeping course content the same. When you apply on Ontario Colleges, select the code that matches your start term. Practical Nursing, for example, lists fall, winter and spring equal-consideration dates of February 1, June 1 and October 1. It recommends an 85% to 88% average in required courses to be competitive.
Decision checklist
- Use the correct domestic, international or apprenticeship route.
- Apply by the program's equal-consideration date.
- Check the live status and offer deadline.
Mohawk College Residence
Mohawk Residence serves full-time students and requires a separate application, current payment schedule and mandatory meal plan.
Confirm residence eligibility
Residence rates apply to full-time Mohawk students. Students may apply before program acceptance, but the residence application is separate from the college application. Every bedroom is private within a shared two-bedroom suite, and the fee includes furnishings, utilities and internet. A $100 non-refundable application fee is due with each application.
Compare the 2026–27 payment choices
For September 2026 through April 2027, the single-payment rate is $9,500 due June 20, 2026. The two-payment option totals the same amount; the three-payment option totals $9,600 because it includes a $100 administration fee. Residence does not defer payment for OSAP, and fees remain subject to change.
Budget meal plans and alternatives
A mandatory meal plan costs extra and is due with the first residence payment. Winter applicants pay half the full-year meal-plan fee. Applicants should confirm the current meal-plan option, move dates and cancellation terms. Students seeking other locations or a backup should compare off-campus provider identity, commute, lease period and inclusions before paying.
Meal plan choices
You choose one of four meal plans when you apply for residence, and it loads onto your ONE Card as a declining balance. Plans cost $2,875 to $3,740 for the year, split between meal plan funds and flex dollars. Meal plan funds are spent mostly at Fennell, including Mo's Restaurant in the residence. Unused funds expire at the end of the winter term.
Early arrival, late departure and invoices
With the manager's written permission, you can move in early or stay late for up to 14 days at $44.81 a night. Some programs start before move-in day or end after move-out day. Your Housing Portal account won't show payments due, so use the invoice emailed to you.
Checked
Rates are per full-time student for a private bedroom in a shared two-bedroom suite. Mandatory meal-plan fees are additional.

Mohawk College Student Support
Sign up with the service that fits your need. Choose one for your barrier, mental-health concern, academic task or campus activity.
Register for accessibility support
Accessible Learning Services helps students with disabilities. It also helps students with medical or mental-health conditions. It helps those with temporary injuries too. Students register before they get academic accommodations. Then they work with an Accessibility Counsellor on an individual plan. Mohawk says an IEP does not transfer automatically from high school. Temporary accommodations may be possible while documentation is obtained.
Use counselling for short-term support
Counselling gives free, confidential, short-term, goal-directed psychotherapy. It is for students whose personal well-being or mental health affects academic success. It can also support students waiting for outpatient care. Use the booking route for routine support. Use the emergency resources named on the current page when you need immediate help.
Choose the right academic service
Student Success Advising sends learners to academic advising, tutoring and library. It also sends them to testing and financial help. It sends them to Indigenous services and campus supports too. Availability and in-person locations differ. Contact the named service early. This matters when accommodations or preplacement clearance must be arranged. It matters before a test, clinical activity or work term.
Match recreation to the facility
Mohawk names two recreation facilities. They are the David Braley Athletic & Recreation Centre and the Stoney Creek Fitness Centre. Athletics & Recreation offers extramural, intramural and recreational opportunities. Mohawk's varsity teams operate from Fennell. Check the linked athletics site for current hours and membership information before you travel. The college page does not state one access rule for every student or campus.
Use Student Life for involvement
Student Life lists events, volunteering and leadership routes. These include MoCrew, peer mentorship and community engagement. It also points students to Mohawk Students' Association clubs and athletics. Eligible involvement can be added to the Co-Curricular Record. This applies during the current academic year. Use the live opportunity and eligibility details. Do not assume every event or role qualifies.
Decision checklist
- Register with ALS rather than relying on a prior IEP.
- Use counselling within its short-term scope.
- Choose the service for the specific academic task.
- Check the facility, campus, hours and membership route.
- Use Student Life to find current involvement opportunities.
Mohawk College Careers and Co-op
Co-op admission and jobs are conditional; use CareerReady and advisers to prepare for each stage.
Check co-op eligibility
Optional co-op admission can require a first-year transfer and program-specific eligibility. Mohawk says admission to a co-op program does not guarantee a position because the job search is competitive. Some opportunities require commuting, relocation, a driver's licence or vehicle access. Co-op fees apply after admission and are non-refundable.
Prepare for a competitive job search
Software Development has mandatory co-op in its program of study. It offers three work-term opportunities but requires two completed terms for the co-op designation. A Co-op Specialist can help refine resumés, prepare for interviews and support the search. That support does not replace program eligibility or employer selection.
Use career support after graduation
The Career Centre serves current students, recent graduates and alumni. Personalized advising continues for up to one year after the final term; alumni beyond that period can still view postings through CareerReady. Students and recent graduates book in-person or virtual adviser appointments through CareerReady for career planning and job-search preparation.
Decision checklist
- Confirm optional or mandatory co-op status.
- Plan transport and fees before the work term.
- Use CareerReady for appointments and postings.
