Explore Georgian College at In-Person Open House on Nov. 15

Georgian College is set to host its in-person fall Open House on November 15, 2024, providing prospective students with an opportunity to explore campus life and academic offerings. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Barrie Campus, while the Midland, Orangeville, and Owen Sound campuses will welcome visitors from 9 a.m. to noon.

This Open House is designed for individuals considering their postsecondary options. Whether they are recent high school graduates, adults returning to education, or individuals contemplating a career change, everyone is encouraged to attend. Attendees can RSVP in advance and engage in a comprehensive day of activities.

Visitors will have the chance to participate in guided tours led by current students, engage in hands-on demonstrations in various labs, and converse one-on-one with faculty members from over 130 programs. Staff will also be present to provide insights on financial aid, student services, and academic upgrading, ensuring that all questions regarding funding and credential pathways are addressed.

For those considering applying to Georgian College, attending the Open House offers a unique benefit. The college will waive the $150 fee associated with the Ontario College Application Service for applications submitted on site for programs commencing between January 2026 and May 2027. This initiative aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with the application process.

Georgian College encourages potential applicants to complete an online career assessment prior to the event. This questionnaire is designed to align personal interests and traits with suitable programs. Participants can review their results with career consultants and faculty members during their visit.

To further enhance the attraction of the event, Georgian College will offer attendees a chance to win up to $5,000 toward tuition. This prize aims to support students as they embark on their educational journeys.
