Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I work and study at the same time?
Taking a full course load of five courses or more can typically be balanced with part-time work responsibilities.
However, we don’t recommend studying full-time while also working full-time, as it is very difficult to balance the demands of both.
-
Can you study part-time or in the evenings?
Yes, courses can be scheduled anytime between 8 a.m and 10 p.m., and we offer a selection of evening courses each semester!
However, evening courses are not guaranteed, and you’ll almost certainly have to accommodate daytime courses at some point in your studies.
-
How long will it take me to finish my Sheridan program?
If you’re a full-time student, it will likely take you one year to complete a graduate certificate program, two years to complete a diploma program and three years to complete an advanced diploma program.
If you’re studying part-time, the length of time it will take you to complete your program will depend on how many courses you choose to complete each semester.
-
Can I transfer credits I’ve already earned at another institution?
Yes, you can! Our innovative Online Advanced Standing application process allows you to transfer previously earned credits at other institutions towards your Sheridan program of study. Once you’ve applied and paid your fees, you’ll be able to access myPathways, an online service that enables Sheridan students to see what previous learning credits can be applied towards your program.
You may also be able to receive credit for any previous work experience, unrecognized training, independent study, volunteer activities or hobbies you’ve participated in that is related to your field of study!
