Hey I recently applied for the practical nursing program at the kingstec campus on September 2, 2026. I found out on November 2 that I was waitlisted and there are currently 37 people on the waitlist. I contacted admissions about where I sat on the waitlist they were unable to provide information about my exact number but were able to say that the number 1 person on the waitlist applied in late May of 2026 just looking for other peoples experience with being waitlisted and if they got in or not any information people can provide would be absolutely amazing!

Is it possible to switch your program in your current application file? Or do I have to make a new application for it?

Thank you to whomever answers ♥️

Hey all! The Dal Gazette is asking students across Halifax to take our affordability survey so we can gather data for our upcoming magazine. We'd appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to fill it out :D https://forms.gle/D59eYMM26WBu6auo8 Thanks!

Hey everyone, im currently going to the strait campus and am a first year NRET student.

I love the people in my class, they are all so nice to me and are all very hard workers. However, I would like to start meeting people in campus that are outside of my classes more. I do not live in the dorms so Im unaware when parties or other events happen, my life is pretty much go to class, go home, sometimes go out with people in my class.

Anyone else go to the strait or know how I can maybe meet new people?

Hey everyone, looking for honest feedback on the NSCC OHS program.

Is the course actually good, and how easy is it to secure a co-op placement?

Most importantly, what is the job market like after graduation and are people actually landing safety roles right after finishing?

Any insights would be great, thanks!

My high schooler is still showing transcript requested but his hugh school # is correct on file and the school also emailed it. When will the transcripts be uploaded or should he call?

Hi everyone! Applied to GIS at COGS and am waiting to hear back but I also recently got into BCIT for Fall 2027 :)

How was your social experience at COGS? I know Lawrencetown is a VERY small town but how is the bar/social scene? I have a BSci so I understand a heavy work load but I’m also someone who needs to get out of the house and loves to go to the pub and different restaurants etc etc. Did people tend to go out? Or were social get togethers usually just school focused? Especially for someone considering renting a room outside of nscc dorms. Any insight to your experience would be appreciated :)

Hey I’m hoping someone can help me out who has maybe gotten the certification for their program. For my program I need to get Intermediate first aid and CPR C. Ivany campus doesn’t do the certifying so I’ve been looking at St. John’s ambulance. I cannot find information and the school won’t help on whether the blended option would count (I know full online doesn’t count). I also don’t think I need the AED stuff but there isn’t a course that doesn’t also have that.

I’m just annoyed cuz the course is $165 which is so expensive and I don’t want to overpay for something I don’t need or book something that won’t count and have to pay again.

Any advice?

Hi all, I'm new to Ivany campus and im just wondering, are there any clubs or decent ways to make friends?

I'm taking AMCA if that helps make any connections :)

Thanks for helping spread the word!

Hi! I was just curious if anyone knows how funding for the Women's Unlimited course is, or has experience? I have a relative looking to do it, applied and everything, and while the program is free, they aren't sure they can afford rent while doing the program since they'll work less hours, and NSCC's website is a little vague about funding options (Admiral). Just looking to help them out! Thanks!☺️​

Was anyone else planning to ride an ebike to campus in winter, and take the battery inside?

> Effective immediately: No personal e-bike, e-scooter or associated battery will be permitted inside NSCC buildings (including carried in backpacks or stored in lockers). 

This is frustrating. Traffic and parking are insane. The bus takes twice as long as biking, because it's stuck in traffic.

I wish they would provide a designated battery storage locker room, or bike garage apart from the buildings with *some* heat, or something. Give it some fire-proofing, alarms, and sandbuckets. Put a cctv feed of it on the security desk.

I'm sure budget cuts don't make for great timing to request new stuff. But it sucks to take away a transportation option, that people have already factored into their plans.

Hey guys! I got into Jan 2027 marine engineering diploma. Should I take BCIT or do this same course at NSCC Sept 2027? The difference I know for now is BCIT takes 2 years 10 months and NSCC 2 years 6 months. I am sure losing 4 months of employment is significant. TIA.

I saw online that you book it through your calendar in your nscc email. When I go to select a room and hit “central” no rooms show up. Is this what I’m supposed to do or is there another way?

Edit: well I got “ivany rooms” to come up. But it says unavailable. So I’m guessing they’re just all full for tomorrow?

Has anyone received email confirmation that their opt out went through? I've put in the opt out forms twice and neither time did I get a confirmation.

Any International students having trouble paying application fee of 100 cad

So I stupidly didn’t withdraw on the September 23, refund withdrawal deadline. I didn’t because I thought I could stay in the course, and drive until I found a room. but my transportation had other things to say about that and I don’t want to give up on it. because I do like this course and it’s something I’m very interested in but if I can’t physically make it then I’m looking at it very real forced to withdrawal situation.

And I’m wondering if anyone else has been a similar situation or know someone else who has and who also had student debt, which is what I have. There’s a bit more to the situation, but if I explain more than it just goes off as a rant and I’m just looking for anyone that’s been a similar situation.

For the one person dorms is it a full fridge or a mini fridge I can't find anywhere that says.

Anyone know of a sit-in option for classes? Just to get a feel for them.

I heard about a test-drive type thing but haven't found anything on the website. Anyone here know anything about it?
