Hello! To Anyone in dental hygiene program, are you required to buy a windows laptop or can it be a MacBook or they won’t accept it?
Cause I don’t wanna buy a MacBook and then they won’t accept it
Thanks!
Hi! I'm a 32(F), turning 33(F) this fall and I was thinking of perhaps returning to school for a more specialized education to increase my income potential. I was looking into courses such as Dental Hygienist or Medical Radiology Technician. I have an interest in healthcare and I'm currently working in medical office administration full time at a private clinic. However, I looking to earn more than I currently am and both aforementioned programs can get me into careers that will let me earn more than what I currently make.
I looked at the eligibility criteria and noticed that I need to take an AC-HPAT test in order to determine my eligibility in these competitive programs. However, it's been 15 years since I was last in high school and I'm wondering how can I even go about studying for this test? It's stressing me out because I don't even know where to start! Anyone who was in a similar situation to me have any advice? Is there a website or learning program where I can "re-learn" what I need to know to ace these tests? It's mainly the Science portion that is making me nervous.
Quick question, does anybody know what colour scrubs we need to purchase for the practical nursing program at the Ottawa campus? I currently have a 50% discount at Mark‘s due to my current job and I was thinking of taking advantage of it before it expires and I resign. I already bought some white leather shoes using it assuming that’s what is expected.
Also, another thing is;
Is there any requirements or certifications? I should be getting over the summer break? I haven’t really done much and I’m not very up-to-date with this. I’ll look more into it tomorrow and I’m sorry for the bad questions that probably have very accessible and simple answers elsewhere
Back in February 2026, I accepted the offer for a Bachelor in Digital Marketing Communications, and I paid the 500$ deposit earlier this month. However, this morning, I received an email saying that the course is no longer available and gave me the option to apply for the Bachelor in Marketing program (which I accepted).
Now I'm wondering if I have to repay the deposit fee or if it's simply transferable? Do I need to do anything about it or will the college handle it?
Hi everyone...
I’m having a hard time deciding what to do. I’m waitlisted for the Practical Nursing (Winter 2027) program at the Ottawa campus, but I’ve received an offer for the Pembroke campus.
My biggest concern is transportation. I don’t have a car, and when I spoke with the clinical placement coordinator, I was told that clinical placements could be in Renfrew, Ottawa, or other nearby areas, which would make commuting very difficult. I’m willing to move to Pembroke for my studies, but I was hoping to complete my clinical placements in the same city rather than having to travel long distances.
I also received an offer for the Dental Hygiene program at the Ottawa campus, but lately I’ve been leaning more toward nursing.
Has anyone attended the Pembroke PN program without a car? How manageable was it, especially during clinical placements? Were you able to complete your placements in Pembroke, or did you have to travel to other cities?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience before I make my decision. Thank you....
Hello guys I have a quick question to ask for those who are attending any of the 3 year advanced diploma like MRT,RT, or DH. If you start in winter 2027 when do we graduate? Like what year?
Just wanted to know what year will I graduate cause I couldn’t find any info on the AC Website
Hi all! My OSAP keeps getting pushed back as Algonquin still hasn’t confirmed enrolment. For the March semester, they confirmed over two weeks before the semester start, so I am a bit concerned I haven’t seen any confirmation yet for this semester. I am a student with AC Online. Has anyone received confirmation yet?
I got accepted into the Accelerated BScN program (3 years and 4 months) at Algonquin college in the Pembroke campus in January 2026. I’m 18 and and applied because I don’t have the greatest marks (around 80 average) and was wondering if there was anyone else my age who have also gotten accepted there, where they’re staying etc. I am originally from Ottawa and have lived there my whole life and have been trying to contact landlords in Pembroke but have been getting little to no responses for the past three months. I’ve heard people talking about the BScN program at Pembroke but I wasn’t sure if they were talking about a regular 4-year BScN at Pembroke (if they offered that – I’m not sure) and just wanted to know if there are others who are talking the accelerated program.

Hi,
I am currently a Carleton student, finished winter semester this past April/May(?)
I accepted an offer to go to Algonquin for Spring 2027.
Can I still enroll for fall and winter semesters at Carleton? Or will that screw me for my program at Algonquin?
Will OSAP cover both?
My convocation is tomorrow and I want to have a clear plan to prepare. Appreciate if you could share your experience!
- Does the ceremony start on time
- How long does the ceremony last
Thanks in advance!
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has experience getting off the waitlist in the past. I was late applying, but I have a 90% average for my pre-reqs and am currently 1-20 on the waitlist. Any information helps, thank youuuu!
Hi everyone! 😊 I’m an Algonquin College student conducting a short survey on ice cream preferences for a marketing project. I’d really appreciate your responses. Thank you!
Hey fellow Wolves,
If you haven’t dental insurance or are looking for a super budget-friendly way to get your teeth cleaned and checked, the Algonquin College Dental Clinic (J-Building) is opening up appointments starting this Wednesday (Week 7)!
I’m currently a Term 3 Dental Hygiene student. Since we are a school clinic, our rates are incredibly low (way cheaper than private clinics downtown), making it perfect for students, international students, or anyone looking to save money.
Why book with me?
Details:
If you or anyone you know (friends, roommates, partners) are overdue for a cleaning and want to save some cash while helping a senior student hit their clinical goals, please shoot me a DM directly!
I can help you secure a spot with the front desk and make sure you get assigned to my chair.
Thank you
Me again, checking in! How many people here have moved from the waitlist and got an offer for RT winter 2027? Just checking to see if things are still moving! I’m in the 1-20 spot, but still waiting. Thanks
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone at the Ottawa campus can help me out.
I’ve been trying to register for the CMDT course starting June 24 2026(ending July 4), but I ran into multiple issues during the registration process. Unfortunately, by the time everything was sorted out, the course had already filled up.
If anyone is currently registered for this session and is willing to switch to a later session or give up their spot, I’d be happy to pay you more than what you originally paid for the course as a thank-you.
I need this certification as soon as possible because it’s required for my program, so this would mean a lot to me.
If you’re interested or know someone who might be able to help, please send me a DM.
Thank you so much!
