Choosing what to do after high school, or deciding to change your career path can feel like it’s overwhelming. Sure, websites help, and brochures help. But nothing compares to actually being on campus, talking to real people, and picturing yourself there.
That’s the idea behind Centennial College’s Spring Open Houses. These events aren’t just about collecting brochures or sitting through presentations. They’re built to help you explore our campuses, talk to real students and faculty, and understand exactly what your next step could look like.
From March 18 to April 4, future students are invited to step inside Centennial College’s campuses, explore programs up close, and get the kind of answers you really need to pick your school.
Why Attending Open House Makes a Difference
You can read program pages all day and still feel unsure. But when you walk our halls, step into labs, and ask your own questions, everything becomes more real, and clearer. At a Centennial Open House, you don’t just learn about the College. You experience it. Across all campuses, your visit can include:
- Interactive campus tours, so you can see learning spaces up close.
- Faculty and academic meet-and-greets, to understand what you’ll really study.
- A Student Services Fair to learn about all the supports available to you once you start-
- Student-led panels where current learners share their honest experiences. Application support on-site if you're ready to take the next step.
And yes, there are some extras too, like free pizza, Centennial-themed swag giveaways, and a contest to win 1 of 5 OCAS vouchers, which helps take care of your tuition fees.
