Dear Learners:
The first-ever Fall Mid-Term Break Week (Oct. 21-25) is fast approaching for most programs on our campuses. This is a well-deserved time for you to catch up, engage in the College’s non-academic offerings, or simply to relax.
While there will be limited academic activity during this period, Algonquin College will still be a bustling hub of student services and events.
The fall break is meant to give you a chance to do readings, complete assignments without the burden of additional schoolwork or exams, meet with faculty, pursue Co-Curricular Record activities, or simply to breathe a little easier during a stressful time.
When planning your week, ensure your program has a break and is not one of the few exceptions. Visit algonquincollege.com/fallbreak for a list of programs that will remain active Oct. 21-25.

They then resell the devices and information, open financial accounts in your name, make unauthorized online purchases and collect government benefits meant for you, among many other risks.
