Niagara College has implemented College Practices to ensure consistency in the rules and regulations governing both academic and college life. This web index provides links to the most current versions of the Niagara College practices.
The College Practices are managed by Pat Altoft, who acts as the 'gatekeeper' for the purpose of updating, revising and/or adding new practices. Please contact Pat at paltoft@niagaracollege.ca if there are any improvements that you would like to recommend.
