Launch your future at Durham College’s Fall Open House on November 9

The doors are open at Durham College (DC) for Fall Open House on Saturday November 9 creating opportunities for prospective students to explore 145+ career-driven programs, meet with faculty and to see state-of-the-art learning spaces including shops and labs.

Visitors can explore both the Oshawa campus at 2000 Simcoe St. N. and the Whitby campus at 1610 Champlain Ave. during Open House from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Kaeli Caguicla, a first-year Mechanical Technician – Elevating Devices student, explains she found her path at a DC Open House last year.

With an interest in the skilled trades, Caguicla attended Open House at DC’s Whitby Campus and met with a faculty member from the program she wanted to pursue.

“It was very valuable, basically he just talked about how amazing the program was and how special it was,” she said, adding that she was interested to learn it was just one of two Elevating Devices programs in Ontario. “He seemed like he really enjoyed the program and highlighted the career options.”

Caguicla got her questions answered, learned more about the courses in the program and visited her future learning spaces. She also enjoyed the energy at Open House.

“It’s very welcoming and I really liked the atmosphere,” she said. “It was easy to get around and I thought the shop spaces were really cool.”

Now, she says she loves her program and looks forward to attending her classes.

Navjot Sehgal is a campus tour guide and marketing assistant at DC and he’ll be leading tours during Open House.

“One of things people get excited about on campus tours is seeing the facilities and services that we offer,” said Sehgal, who is also a student pursuing a Cybersecurity graduate certificate.

He said prospective students love seeing spaces like the fitness facilities and gyms at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre, the Esports Arena and learning about services like Career Development or Student Academic Learning Services (SALS) which provides free academic support to DC students.

“These are the kinds of things students really don’t know about before they come here,” Sehgal explains. “Durham College has a vast campus; you can’t really know about all the things we have to offer unless you visit us. There’s a lot to explore and you can get a first look at your campus life.”

He said Open House is a one-stop-shop event where they can meet the recruitment team, explore programs and meet faculty, take a tour and apply. DC will cover the $150 Ontario Colleges application fee for domestic students who visit an Apply Now room and submit their application.

Top reasons to register for and attend DC’s Fall Open House:

  • Meet with expert faculty to learn about our 145+ career-driven programs
  • Learn about DC’s supportive financial aid services, including over $5 million in available bursaries and scholarships
  • Find out about campus life and why our students love DC
  • Explore inspiring spaces with a guided campus tour
  • Apply for a DC program at the event and we will cover the $150 application fee for domestic students

Register to attend Fall Open House! Attendees who register will be entered into a draw to win a $5,000 Durham College tuition credit.

Police Foundations student wins $5,000 Durham College tuition credit

First-year Police Foundations student James Fluri is the lucky winner of a $5,000 tuition credit from Durham College (DC).

The annual contest is open to all Durham College applicants who register for campus events such as Open House, Program Information Nights and even scheduling a one-on-one appointment with the Start at DC team.

Fluri was entered into the draw after taking a campus tour earlier this year and announced as the winner on October 28. The Oshawa resident said he was surprised and excited to win the draw.

Durham College President Dr. Elaine Popp met with Fluri and his parents Jim and Christina Fluri and congratulated them.

“Education really does transform lives, it gives you opportunities – doors will open that weren’t there before so consider it a gift and an investment in yourself and make the most of it,” said Popp.

“I’m very excited about it,” said Fluri. “It’s going to help me go after what I want to do and I’m excited for this opportunity.”

Christina Fluri said when they first found out their son won, they couldn’t believe it, but when the news sunk in, it felt great to know that the prize means he will save $5,000 in potential student debt.

She said her son has wanted to be a police officer since he was four-years-old and she still has a picture of a police car he drew in kindergarten. Before starting at DC, he was an honour roll student in high school.

“We’re proud of him,” she said.

Fluri said he’s excited about pursuing his goal of becoming a police officer and he’s enjoying his program, which he started in September.

“It’s something that really interests me and something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time so Police Foundations is a great way to get into that,” he said.
