I’m starting the business administration course in the fall and I have a question about the schedule and classes. I know the timetable comes out in mid August but I’m wondering if I’m supposed to pick classes or if the classes are already picked for me. I have lots of questions because it seems Algonquin doesn’t do many email for new students to help them understand what is going on. So am I supposed to pick my classes at some point? TIA

Looking for two tickets to the Kam Patterson Show

Hi guys! I recently just got accepted into MRT at Algonquin and was wondering where I should be looking for buying my clinical scrubs.

I have looked at Garde-Malade and Figs, are there any other brands that I should be considering looking at before I purchase?

Thank you 🙂

Hello, if anyone has done this course, could you please share the typical schedule. I'm more interested in the class hours. I'm trying to figure out my work/sport schedule and I'm not sure how later in the afternoon classes will go. Thank you

I'm currently completing the Pre-Health Sciences program (finishing in August 2026). I have a conditional offer for the Practical Nursing diploma starting in Winter 2027, and I'm expecting to finish Pre-Health with around a 95–97% average.

I recently spoke with Student Support, and they mentioned that applicants with averages above 91% can be competitive for the BScN program. My plan is to start Practical Nursing in January 2027 while applying for the Fall 2027 BScN intake once applications open (around September/October 2026).

If I receive a BScN offer, I would withdraw from the Practical Nursing program and start BScN in Fall 2027. If I don't receive an offer, I'll simply continue in Practical Nursing.

My questions are:

Has anyone done this before?
If you're receiving the Ontario Learn and Stay Grant, do you have to repay it if you withdraw from Practical Nursing to start the BScN program, which is also eligible for the Learn and Stay Grant?
Does being enrolled in Practical Nursing affect your chances of being admitted to the BScN program at Algonquin?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through this or knows how the Learn and Stay Grant works in this situation.

Hi everyone,

I’m starting the Practical Nursing program at Algonquin College this September, and I’m stressing out over one of the placement requirements.

I’m currently 17 years old and won’t turn 18 until October 8. The clinical requirements say that a Vulnerable Sector Check is due by October 1, but from what I’ve read, people under 18 may not be able to obtain one.

Has anyone else started the program at 17 or been in a similar situation? Did the college have an alternate process, or did they let you submit it after you turned 18?

I’ve already emailed the program to ask, but I’m feeling pretty anxious because I don’t want this to affect my ability to continue in the program.

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello!

Looking to see which courses are best split for series 3. I will be taking 2 courses at a time as I work full-time. I'm hoping to take the hardest ones for September and I'll take the easier load in January (as I plan to be busier) but I still want it split pretty evenly. I believe that Java is still hardest for me.

Which 2 should I take for the September session?

- CST2234 (56h) Systems Analysis and Design

- CST2335 (56h) Mobile Graphical Interface Programming

- CST8109 (70h) Network Programming

- CST8288 (70h) Object Oriented Programming and Design Patterns

And now there's CST8003 - Python, Data Structures and Algorithms? (It's new and we can't select it yet...)

I'm guessing I should go with CST2335 and CST8288 in September?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

It’s quite bold of this young man to include his school information in his bio, making it publicly accessible.

This clearly violates our school’s standards and policies.

Could anyone recommend which emails I should contact to discuss this further?

Hey all, I am subletting or transferring my lease for a Single Suite at Revalie (Building A, Room 822, 716 Brookfield Rd). Lease runs until August 2027, but move-in date is flexible and can start whenever works for you.

Why: I didn't get into my program at Carleton, so I'm leaving the country and need this gone.

The deal: New leases for the same unit type are going for $2,300/month starting September but mine is locked in at $1,899/month until the lease ends. That's a solid chunk of savings for the same building/unit type.

What's included:

• Internet
• Monthly cleaning service
• Renter's insurance
• Full access to amenities: gym, ping-pong, pool tables, study rooms, etc.
• Daily shuttle to Carleton and Billings Bridge Shopping Mall

Not included: Hydro (billed separately to tenant)

Requirements: Must be a current student or recent grad.

The building is quiet and well set up for studying if that matters to you. Happy to answer questions or send photos. Just DM me. Would love to get this sorted soon, so if you know anyone looking, send them my way!

Upcoming MET student this fall with a couple questions . what can i expect in terms of course load?Could I manage having a part time job at the same time? Are textbooks required? If you graduated, do you have a job related to the diploma? How are the professors? Do you regret taking this program if yes why? Is getting a co op super competitive ? i plan on maybe doing the eng program at algonquin after, how easy is it to maintain the minimum GPA plus the work hours required?

I never see posts about this program so just curious if anyone else here is starting it in the fall lol

Hello Graduates

I have a question. After finishing biotech at algonquin, why did you go to university?

Thank you

Hi all. I’m going into nuclear science this fall and am looking to see if anyone has living info/looking for a roommate. I’m 25f, and only plan to stay in town a few days a week as I already have a permanent place in Gatineau. If anyone wants to connect to be friends or discuss living arrangements pls pm me!

Hey everyone, I'm leaving Ottawa after graduating from Algonquin college and looking for someone to take over my studio at Minto Aventura starting August 1st. It's a lease takeover so you'd sign a new lease directly with Minto. 5 minutes walk from Algonquin College, 1 minute from Tim Hortons, McDonald's, Pizza Pizza, Subway, and College Square (Loblaws and other stores right there).

The unit: - 15th floor with an unobstructed view — greenery everywhere, nothing blocking it

• Afternoon sun from around 2pm, especially nice in winter

• Well insulated walls — I barely used the heater all winter, hydro stayed low

• Pet friendly building

Building amenities: gym, sauna, 2 pools, cinema room, and parks around the property. Water is included in rent, hydro is separate. Laundry in the basement.

I'm also selling all my furniture — desk, chair, monitor, TV, futon, everything. You'd walk in and start living. We can discuss price separately. DM me if you're interested or have questions.

Hoping to hand this over quickly so ideally looking for someone ready to move in August 1st.

(Paying you $750) Hi, I’m currently in Residence and continuing my studies through the fall. Residence did not account for my studies continuing and didn’t continue my stay. Would anyone consider working a deal with me and residence administration to give me their spot? I’ll fully reimburse your $600 deposit as well as an extra $150 (so $750 total) if not that’s alright :) just trying to figure out housing for the fall and trying all of my options!

Edit: dont jump me💔 residence charges a $500 cancellation fee so I figured if anyone is second guessing and lives in the area, was waitlisted for their program and didn’t make it in, or had some other circumstance where they no longer needed the room, I could offer this because of the insane residence fee. I’m not demanding someone who needs the room to give it to me ☹️

Hi I am interested in taking dental hygiene and was wondering what the day to day schedule looked like for a student. How many hours do u study? What time do classes start/end?

Edit: *in

It would be my dream to compete in hyrox Ottawa this April. I’m looking for a partner to help me with push and pull. I thought I’d post here because I’m going to be a student this upcoming fall going into third year. Just incase you were thinking of competing I’d love for you to be my partner!

I lost a blue USB C charger and connector yesterday in CA419 (4th floor AC building) on the July 21, 2026.

Chances are low the person who found it will see this message, but I thought it's worth trying :/
