Receiving your credential

If you are studying part-time or if you are studying full-time but have taken a part-time course in your last semester, you need to apply to graduate.

Many of our courses can lead to a College Approved Certificate or an Ontario College credential. Others may lead to certification or accreditation by external professional or licensing bodies. Requirements are clearly outlined in program information monographs.

To receive a College Approved Certificate or an Ontario College credential from Algonquin, at least 25 percent of the course hours in your program of study must be completed through the College. Upon completion of the final course in the program, part-time students must submit a request to graduate, and payment through their ACSIS account.
