Application Procedure

1. Nomination Deadline 
Partner institution representatives (usually your Global Programs  or Exchange Coordinator) must first nominate students to us by emailing emays@centennialcollege.ca with the following information for the student(s):

• Full Name
• Date of birth
• Program at home institution
• Intended Term of study
• Email address

We will then contact the students directly and provide them with instructions for applying online.

2. Application Deadline
Students must then submit complete applications online. All application and supporting documents must be uploaded to our online system called the Global Experience Portal (https://sage.centennialcollege.ca).

As part of the application, students will be asked to upload:

• Official Transcript
• Copy of Passport
• Proof of English proficiency test
• List of courses requesting to be taken at Centennial 

A note on course selection: We will require applicants to submit a program with the 4 digit code and then a list of 5-6 courses they would like to take from that program as well as 2 back-up courses. For a list of the programs and courses available visit our site online. Students are required to take courses from a program closely linked to their program at home. 

3. Application Review
After the application deadline, we will review all applications, ensure students have met the English requirements, and will get permission from the Program Chair and Coordinator to accept you into the program. This can be a longer process as we may need to check if you have the required prior knowledge to take the list of courses desire to take. Students looking to take courses from multiple programs will wait longer as we have consult with more Administrators. 

4. Decisions
If all requirements are met, we will issue a Letter of Acceptance, email it and upload it to the online Global Experience portal. At this point, we will send students an email with more information for how to prepare for their arrival.

5. Preparation
In the months prior to arrival, students will need to make accommodation arrangements and pay for their mandatory insurance fee, among other things. A few weeks before the semester begins, we will register student in the appropriate courses and will inform you of any changes that are required. The Global Experience team will lead a few meetings to help prepare students ahead of time.
