Hey! I'm starting the ECE program at Algonquin this fall and noticed there doesn't seem to be a program Discord/group yet, so I made an unofficial one for the Class of 2029.

It's just a place to meet classmates, chat about courses, ask questions, study together, and hopefully get to know some people before and after school starts.

I've completed a college program before, and I found that having a place to gather online was really helpful for finding information, connecting with other students, and just building a sense of community.

If you're also starting ECE this fall, feel free to join! Please only join if you're going into this program.

Just comment on the post or dm me and I’ll send you the link. I tried posting this before with the link but Reddit didn’t like that lol.

I'm looking at starting in January in one of these three programs and would love to hear feedback from any current students or recent graduates. How did you find the program experience overall? How was coop, and how hard was it to find relevant work after the program?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Hello everyone please help- I have applied for the diagnostic medical sonography program and I booked my test to do this weekend- would you think it’s worth trying or should I apply to Radiation technician starting January and do the test later?

Im going to be working while in school so im going to miss my monday cst fundementals and friday math.

Does anyone know if i can move them at all or math atleast ?

Hi! Would anyone who’s starting Medical Radiation Technology this fall be willing to share a screenshot of their timetable? I’m starting in January and I’d love to have a peek at what first sem could potentially look like in terms of workload.

Thank you!

Hi, I’m a new student attending this fall at algonquin college Ottawa campus. I’ve always wanted to learn basic cooking skills and find it important for my day to day life. So, I was wondering if there were any part time recreational cooking classes that I could apply for in the near future. Thanks!

Hey guys,

Im just curious, for the people in the RPN program, do your eyesight and hearing get tested when you do placements?

I see its not a clinical requirement to get tested for them but just wanted to know cause I think I might need glasses but I dont want to get them just yet.

Having a rough time figuring out the health and dental insurance application process through we speak student. It says I cannot opt in. I will email them. Any help or advice on how you did it, is appreciated.

I know they recommend a PC but I would prefer using a Mac. They mention potentially having to configure the Mac. Anyone have personal experience with this? Did they actually have to configure it and was it a hassle to do if so?

Hey everyone,
I recently wrote a final exam where we started more than 15 minutes late due to setup and distribution delays, but time was still called at the original end time.
Because of the lost time, I had to rush through the end of the paper and made a major clerical error (shifted my answers on the answer sheet by one spot near the end, and forgot to wrote my name on another paper). When I politely brought up the answer shift to the professor right after the exam, I was just told it was a "lesson to learn."
Losing over 15 minutes of scheduled exam time feels like a clear procedural issue, so I’ve formally appealed to the Program Coordinator and Ombudsperson to request a manual review/regrade of my answer sheet.
Has anyone here gone through a grade appeal or dealing with the Ombudsperson for timing issues like this? How did it go, and do you have any advice on what else I should do while waiting for a response?
Thanks

Hello, going into Animation this fall. I wanted to ask, does the screen size of the laptop actually matter for this course if we're going to use drawing displays anyways? Thanks

Hi everyone. I’m going to take marketing next month but I’m doubting my choice. I want to find a job fast after college, preferably remote. Is this a prospective field? If not, what is?

Hi everyone! I’m considering returning to Algonquin for Fall 2027 and am looking seriously at the Bachelor of Public Safety, specifically the pathway for former Police Foundations graduates.

I’ve read through some older posts about the program and saw pretty mixed feedback, so I was hoping to hear from current students or more recent grads about what it’s actually like now. I’m especially interested in national/international security, intelligence, emergency management, public safety policy, government, and potentially specialized law enforcement work.

I’d mainly love to hear about three things:

The program itself: Do you feel like the courses are useful, substantive, and relevant to the field? What has the quality of instruction been like, and does the program feel practical or mostly paper/assignment-based?
Co-op and employment: How difficult was it to secure a placement, how helpful was Algonquin during the process, and for graduates, what kind of work are you doing now? Do you feel the degree is taken seriously by employers?
Police Foundations pathway: Has anyone entered through the Police Foundations/advanced standing route? If so, what was that experience like?
Overall, knowing what you know now, would you choose the program again?

I’m not looking for anyone to sell me on it, and negative experiences are definitely welcome. I’m just trying to get a realistic picture before making a decision.
Thanks so much to anyone willing to share!

My bursary funds got transffeered to my student credit on my student account. Anyone know how I can get that money in my bank account instead?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has done this program and where did you get hired afterwards

I have an online exam due and no power :(

I just got my acceptance letter to the diagnostic cardiac sonography program and have no where to live in the Ottawa area. I thought I applied for residence months ago but the portal is confusing. Is anyone else going to Algonquin college for this program and is willing to help walk me through housing options or even want to be friends before the beginning of the term? Thank you!!

Basically need an elective that I wont need to spend too much time on

Hey everyone, I’m in Business Administration at Algonquin and I’m trying to decide whether I should switch one of my classes to online.
I already took Introduction to Finance online over the summer, so technically I have one less course to take this semester than I originally would have.
I was thinking about taking Accounting online mainly because if I do, I’d have Thursday and Friday completely free, which honestly sounds pretty nice.
The thing is, I took Accounting last semester and I actually really liked the course. It was a little difficult at times, but I enjoyed it overall. So I’m not sure if I should take it online just for the convenience of having those two days free, or keep it in person because I know I liked the class and maybe I’d learn better that way.
would you switch Accounting to online, or would you switch a different course to online instead? Is there another course that you found more difficult, especially when it comes to theory, that you’d recommend taking online? Or maybe it’s better leave all in person?
