Pathways into Degrees at Algonquin College

Pathways helped me organize the building blocks of a diploma, an advanced diploma and a degree to get me to my end goal, which was a career that I loved. -Fath, AC Alumni

Depending on your previous program of study and the degree you would like to complete, the process for following a pathway will vary:

Apply Directly at OntarioColleges.ca

  • Some of our degrees have pre-established pathways for graduates of specific programs who meet admissions requirements as outlined on the pathway’s website. You can apply directly to the program at OntarioColleges.ca.

Apply For Advanced Standing

  • While many degree pathways exist, they do not cover all of the possible options for continued study. If no pre-determined pathway exists you may still apply for Advanced Standing and receive some level of credit recognition towards the degree. You will be required to meet the admissions requirements of the degree program as listed on the program website, this includes the completion of pre-requisite high school level courses.

Apply For Credit Transfer

  • If you have completed part of a program or are looking to move into an unrelated degree you may be eligible to have some of your previous learning recognized through a Transfer of Credits. If there is not a pre-determined pathway, you will be required to meet the admissions requirements of the degree program as listed on the program website, this includes the completion of pre-requisite high school level courses.
