  • Open House/Program Information Nights

    Several times a year, we open our doors to give you an inside look at both our campuses and learn all you need to know about the programs you’re interested in.

    At Open House, held in the spring and the fall, you’ll meet with our expert faculty, learn about our services and resources – such as financial aid and learning supports – that support students’ well-being and academic success, explore campus life, and much more.

    Our next Open House is Saturday, April 1. Register now.

    Program Information Nights are another great way for prospective students to discover all that DC has to offer. Held in January and May, these events allow you to speak with program representatives and other members of our campus community to give you all the information you need. Our next Program Information Nights will be on Tuesday, May 9 (Oshawa campus) and Thursday, May 11 (Whitby campus).

  • Campus Tours

    If you’re eager to explore our campuses, you don’t have to wait for our next Open House. In-person tours of both our campuses are available several times a week including select evenings and Saturdays. If you’re a high school student, why not visit us over March Break for a closer look at what we have to offer?

    Depending on your program of study, you could visit a number of interesting spaces, like the Centre for Collaborative Education at the Oshawa campus, or the brand-new Ontario Power Generation Centre for Skilled Trades and Technology at the Whitby campus.

    You can register to visit our campus, or take a virtual tour online, like this one of the Gordon Willey building.

  • One-on-One Appointments

    If you have questions about choosing the right program or how to apply, our Student Recruitment team is available to answer your questions.

    Appointments are available virtually or by phone.

  • Online Info Sessions

    Our website is full of great information for prospective students, but there’s no substitute for going in-depth on a particular topic of interest. Throughout the year we host a variety of live webinars that allow prospective students to log in and learn all they need to know about life at DC.

    Webinars cover a variety of topics, from helping mature students prepare for college life, to giving parents the information they need to send their child off to school with confidence. You can view the schedule here.
