What can I do?
This is a common question.
We asked an Algonquin College Recruitment Officer. He said:
"All of our full-time programs do require ENG4C, however students with Workplace or Open courses have the opportunity to take an English Admissions test to determine their eligibility into our programs. This would be completed after the application is submitted, and the student has been invited to test by our admissions team.
Once a student turns 19, then they would have the option to do academic upgrading through our Academic Access Centre. Until they are 19, they would have to complete the English requirement independently in a high school setting or take the admissions test."
I want to go to College...
But I don't have ENG4C!
