  • Those without an Ontario Secondary School Diploma pursuing post-secondary studies
  • High school graduates who took an educational break
  • Individuals with work experience seeking career advancement
  • Graduates with post-secondary credentials

Whatever path brought you here, Durham College is ready to support you with programs and resources tailored to your goals.
