How to Apply

The information on this page is for applicants eligible to study in Canada without a study permit. If you require a study permit to attend programs, please visit our international student webpage.

To apply for programs:

1. Review the program eligibility requirements. Program eligibility requirements can be found by following the links in the Explore Programs menu at the top of the page.
   • If you are unsure whether you meet the eligibility requirements, contact one of our Admission Offices below. We are happy to explain the admission criteria and possible upgrading options, if required.
2. Gather your documents. The required documents vary according to the program. Please visit the program page for more information on what you must submit. Some standard documents are:
   • Transcripts: All programs require your most recent transcripts.
     • If you have taken Aurora College courses before, your Aurora College transcript will automatically be attached to your application.
     • If you were in high school in the NWT, you can request your transcripts through the Department of Education, Culture and Employment.
   • Letter of Interest: This is a letter written by you that explains why you are interested in the program you have chosen
   • Reference Letters: Some programs require a reference letter from a teacher or employer stating why you would be a good candidate for the program you have chosen.
3. Apply Online. The Self-Service form is easy to use. Just be aware that you must complete both pages of the form.
   • Page 1 is your personal information.
   • Page 2 requires you to upload your documents, so please have electronic copies ready when you apply.
4. Wait for an acknowledgment email. All applications will be acknowledged by email within four business days. If you haven’t received an acknowledgment, please contact one of our admissions offices so we can verify your contact information.
5. Watch for your decision email. We review applications as soon as they are complete (all required documents are submitted) so you will know if you have a seat early. You will receive your decision letter in your email.
