Xerxes Unwala of Toronto took advantage of transfer opportunities after he graduated from Seneca College’s Civil Engineering Technology program. He enrolled in Lakehead’s Bachelors of Engineering program, receiving credit for his college program. In just two years he earned his degree, graduating in May 2015. Lakehead is hosting a College Transfer Preview Day on February 19.

A university degree has never been more valuable. According to Statistics Canada, about twice as many new jobs were created (between June 2008 and June 2015) for university graduates than for other post-secondary graduates.

For college students and graduates, Lakehead University offers several ways to turn a college education or diploma into a degree. The University has planned a special event to share the latest information about options at Lakehead, designed especially for those interested in finding out how to take advantage of college transfer opportunities.

The College Transfer Preview Day for college students and graduates takes place on Friday, February 19 from 12 – 4 pm at Lakehead University. Detailed information about programs, how to apply, transfer credits, and program requirements will be available, as well as opportunities to tour the campus and meet with faculty and current students.
