International Student Registration & Enrolment
Registration & Enrolment
New students will receive their Confirmation of Registration (CoR) via email once registrations are being processed.
- Registration for Fall intakes begin in July.
- Registration for Winter intakes begin in December.
Please be advised that each student will be manually registered and may take up to one week to process your registration.
You can reach international@northern.on.ca for help if you have not received your CoR more than one week after you uploaded your visa copy through the application portal.
It is very important that you check your applicant email and your Northern College student email for communication regarding your registration, the mandatory Orientation, important dates of the Academic Calendar like deferral and withdrawal deadlines, and other important information pertinent to your enrolment.
Confirmation of Registration
International students who have obtained their visa approvals and reported their visa copy via OCAS IAS (where you submitted your application to us) will be registered in the order that the visa approvals are received.
It is very important that you upload a copy of your visa through the portal immediately when your visa is approved. Otherwise, we cannot proceed with your registration.
There are maximum seats for each program the college offers. If you do not confirm your visa early, we cannot guarantee you a seat in your program.
Once registered, your Confirmation of Registration (CoR) letter will be emailed to you.
This letter includes all the required information, such as:
- Tuition fee payment information for the first semester
- Your Northern College email address
- Your Student Portal account information and Blackboard login
This is your enrolment letter to get through the Canadian Border when you arrive in Canada. The college will NOT issue any other enrolment letter to you until you arrive on campus.
Only students who received the CoR letter are permitted to travel to Canada for their studies.

Tuition & Fees Payments Infomation
- Deposit (Domestic Students): Non-refundable Deposit, is due by June 15 for Fall intake, November 15 for Winter intake and March 30 for Summer intake.
- Full Tuition & Fees (New Domestic Students & All Returning Students): Full payment of remaining tuition and fees are due before Day 10 of the semester (except those with OSAP or approved payment plans). After Day 10, a late fee of $150 is applied to any accounts with outstanding fees due.
- New International Students: Tuition and fee payments are due by the dates provided in your Letter of Acceptance.
Please review the deadlines outlined in your confirmation letter to ensure you save your spot with us and to avoid late fees.
The balance of semester fees must be paid prior to Day 10 of the semester. Late fees will be applied if your semester fees are not paid in full. If you redirect your OSAP funding to the College to pay your tuition fees, you might not have to pay any late fees.
Please refer to the Academic Calendar for other important dates for your studies.
You can find more information about your tuition and fees online in your Student Portal account, where you can also process payment.
Your login information is found on your Offer of Admissions letter. This document also provides important tuition and non-refundable deposit, payment deadlines.
Please review the Payment Information for important details on paying for your education with us, including access to the payment registration form, how to submit payment in your student account, important dates and deadlines, or alternative payment methods.
