Important notice regarding PACE Project Management and IT: VR/AR Programs

Due to the recent change in Canadian government policy, Algoma University has decided to prioritize our core programming when it comes to Provincial Attestation Letters (PALs). Core programming includes bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and Senate-approved post-graduate certificate programming.

As a result, student intake for Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) project management and IT: VR and AR programs has been paused, effective immediately. This applies to all students who have applied to the September 2024 intake or who deferred from the May 2024 intake to the September 2024 intake.

In an effort to accommodate students impacted by this change, Algoma University has been proactive in reviewing student applications, and international admissions staff will work with each applicant to match them to another of Algoma University’s excellent academic programs.

All impacted applicants have received a letter. If you have any questions or have not received a letter, please email intl-admissions@algomau.ca
