We’ll also discuss schedules and admission requirements for your program of choice:

For Mature Students:

If you don’t have a High School Diploma, we have admissions options specifically for you depending on which province you are enrolling in. Please contact us to see how our Admissions Team can help you achieve your new career.

A Financial Aid Administrator will help you figure out funding options. We’re here to help. From student loans to payment plans, we have Financial Aid Administrators who can answer your funding questions. You can book an appointment anytime to speak to someone from our Financial Aid Office.

Step 4: Registration

When a decision has been made on the program of choice and funding options have been discussed, the Student Admissions Advisor will guide you through the enrollment process.

Step 5: Orientation

New Student Orientation takes place the week before your program start date. You can expect an email from Willis College with details regarding the date and time of the orientation. During the New Student Orientation, you can expect to meet instructors, teacher assistants, faculty heads, and several other Willis staff members you will be interacting with while a student of Willis College. We will review our learning platforms, student portal, and the Willis College Student Handbook during orientation. You can expect the orientation to last approximately two hours.

Step 6: First Day of Class

Your first day of class will begin with an onboarding session where we provide you with online accounts, email addresses, passwords, and access to our online platform resources. When everyone is logged in, the learning adventure begins.

What Our Graduates Are Saying

Online schooling was helpful in working around my schedule. It allowed me to gain the education I needed from the comfort of my own home. Despite online classes, you receive a quick response when help is needed.
