New Student Information Sessions (NSIS) are designed to acquaint new students with the Victoria College campus and the various resources that can enhance both personal development and academic success. All freshmen are required to participate in a NSIS to be eligible to register for courses. Failure to do so will result in a hold on a student's account.
In order to participate in a New Student Information Session, students must:
- Complete a Victoria College Application for Admission,
- Submit assessment scores (unless exempt) and
- Submit an official high school transcript.
Once students have completed these admission requirements, registration can be completed in the Victoria College Advising & Counseling Services Office or through web registration (if eligible).
*Students will have the opportunity to complete an assessment exam during certain NSIS sessions with prior registration and payment for the exam.
