January Intake (with sufficient enrolment)

When students start a Business program in January, they will be required to complete the second semester offered during the summer. They will then begin the second year of a program option in the fall semester after approximately a one-month break. Apply to program code: Timmins (Porcupine Campus) NORT-B224B PC.
