Hello, NSCC community!

I hope you are doing well. I recently applied for the IT Systems Management and Security program at NSCC, and I am currently on the waitlist. While I wait for the final decision, I want to start preparing for my studies early.

If anyone has completed this program, could you please suggest some books or resources that helped you during your studies? I am especially looking for materials that match the course content and will help me get ready for the challenges of the program.

Thank you so much for your help! I am excited to hear your suggestions.

Hello I'm going into business administration, can anyone who took the class or is in it this year tell me what kind of laptop your using? And is it OK to have a mid image laptop or do you need a high performance one especially for accounting concentration in second year, dell has a deal on a 1800 laptop that goes down to 1399 but don't know if there better cheaper options

this may be a silly question but i’m not sure about the correct option to select for this part of the student ID form. i’ve been attending the ivany campus since september 2024 but forgot to register for a student ID and have to get one for government housing purposes. would i select new student or returning student?

Would anyone who took this program/ knows of someone who took the baking and pastry arts course be willing to share their experiences? I’m thinking about taking the course in Akerley or Kingstech campus.

Electronic technician or business administration? Which would pay well and would be easier to get into? Both at ivany, I want to do something that can have some good money in it and something I could like, electronic tech is low voltage haven't seen people post about it but seems funa ns business administration I wouldn't mind either since you can can to college smu after it and get a degree that pays well but I have a speech Impediment that makes it so I kinda slurs my words if I'm talking fast and get nervous when speaking out loud but I have gotten over it some what with help, just want to know which one would be worth while

Has anyone done GIS at NSCC?

I'm looking to start with the certificate in GIS technician and then do the second year GIS Cartography and geovisualization diploma, followed up by a one graduate certificate in one of the options

Has anyone taken this route?

Is GIS a worth it field currently?

I was wondering if anyone else who took the blended flex option could tell me how many weeks per semester you have clinicals. I am accepted for 2025 and trying to arrange childcare/work schedule. Thank you!

Hey! I’ve seen a few people saying there’s a chat group for each of the campuses I think? I’m not sure if it’s on discord or on teams but would anyone know how to access them/what they’re on? Thanks!

Hi There,

Just starting a program at NSCC IT Campus and wanted to know how the parking situation is there. Is it paid? Do we need a parking pass?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a software engineer, but with the increasing instability in tech due to mass layoffs, outsourcing, and AI, I’m seriously considering a career change. I’ve been looking into NSCC’s Marine Engineering Technology program because I want a career with better job security and the potential to work well into retirement.

For those of you familiar with the program or working in this field:

• How are the job prospects after graduation?
• Is it realistic for someone without a marine background to transition into this industry?
• What challenges should I expect if I go down this path?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insights you can share. Thanks!

Hi there! As the title says, I’m looking to see when others were accepted for the MLT program. I have applied but won’t be able to take my Casper test until January 21st, which means the school won’t receive my results until mid to late February. I’m worried about the program filling up before then. Any info is greatly appreciated!

Hi there!

Im curious what gpa people got excepted with. I graduated high school in 2021 with a 88 average but my university gpa is not very good. The only thing is my degree is in the arts and has nothing to do with sciences so I'm not as concerned. I applied to the Woodstock program for sept 2025 and Jan 2025 and really want to get accepted. Note I am an out of province applicant.

Hi all! I would like to have some advices from any of you took or know about the program. I have bachelor degree with supply chain and logistics management in business and few years of industry experience in 3PL. I want to up-skill and expand academic background in supply chain but been debating between nscc industrial engineering management technology program and data analytics program. Also I am bit concerning to secure internship and job after program. It would be appreciated if you can share your experience and advice :)

Hi there!

I have applied to the LPN program (to be honest I'm not picky on the program location so I picked one that was waitlisted and one that had seats open). I graduated high school in 2021 with a 89 average (bio - 79 chem - 92, math 90). I will be also finishing my degree in may. Unfortunately the degree I went to has nothing to do with the LPN program and my cgpa was very low. Do you think this factor may effect my entrance or will my high school be enough.

Hi, has anyone here taken the plumbing program? I just have a couple questions about it. Thanks!

I’m in the electronic systems technician program, I would like to see if the CAF are an option and if people have done it before, for any program.

Hey guys, I’m new to this community but not so new to NSCC. I’m a senior in high school, and an NSCC dual enrollment student. I completed the following courses and still have far more to go before I nail my prerequisites down.

Graded: -Intro to Psych: 91.22%✅ -Human Growth & Development: 103.15%✅ -Intro to Sociology: 87%✅ -Comp 1: 91.6% ✅ (Average: 93.24%)

Waiting to start: -Comp 2: TBD 1/6/25 - 1/31/25⏳ -Anatomy & Physiology 1: TBD 1/22/25 - 5/13/25 ⏳

Needed: -A&P 2 -Microbiology -Nutrition

TEAS: -Reading: 76.9% -Math: 76.5% -Science: 54.5 -English: 60.6

The TEAS scores that I have are sufficient for me to get into the LPN program. My question to you guys is, in your experience how has it been getting accepted into NSCC. Do you think that applicants that got accepted should have not gotten accepted by their academic track record and the opportunity was taken away from someone else, possibly more deserving (if you knew)? Do you think my chances are great to far me into getting into the program? All in all I’m just super curious if you all had any past experiences with getting accepted into NSCC LPN program or knew others that did too. I’m more curious on if you guys have a good word on whether or not I will get a good shot at getting accepted into the program. Any feedback helps!

P.S. the priority deadline is 3/15/25. I’m wondering if there are more of you guys out there also applying in the same manner that I am and are curious about this programs specifics.

Thank y’all, I hope y’all had a good holiday!

Hello All .I am asking the grads who graduated from Ocean technology at NSCC about the their experience , job markets , job prospects and the salary range .

Hey all! I'm curious if anyone has any insight for the second term industry project? Not really sure how we're supposed to approach potential partners or where to even start really. I was also wondering if we were allowed to accept co-op positions that continue after graduation?

TIA for your replies and happy holidays!

I am currently on the waitlist for the power and utility line course and I have a few questions about the course and employment.

1. How did you enjoy the course and how was it structured.

2. What is the typical employment rate after people finish this course. Also how long did it take to find employment

3. Would you recommend this course to someone looking to get into the line trade. Or would you something different

Just wondering if tools are provided for the course or if there is any tools or supplies we have to supply ourselves. Thanks!

Just a few questions

1. Can I add only 8 of my own works?

2. Do I use the actual Titles of my art works, or do i say "Subject 1,..."

3. What is the correct format for a portfolio?

Hello!

I recently got accepted in to the Adult learning program Academic upgrading program.

It is a blended program.

I am currently working full time. Can anyone please tell me what the schedule is like for the week? Can i keep working full time? How often do i have to attend class in person?

Thank you!

Has anyone ordered books for next semester yet? I am wondering who they are shipping through right now. I know it’s going to cost me triple in shipping fees according to the website, but I’m having issues getting other packages right now through a few different carriers and I’m worried I’m going to have issues getting the books.

Debating if I should order them now instead of waiting to give them lots of time to get here (with Canada post it was only like 2 days but I’m sure it will take longer this time lol)

My partner is in the administrative professional program and wanted to start putting out some feelers for work placement locations. Any recommendations/success in the past with certain companies? (Would be even better if it was paid haha).

So we just got our winter semester schedule and it ends April 16th/17th, is that it until Fall? Or do we get more between?
