UPGRADING AND ACCESS


Each year, hundreds of CNC students take Academic Upgrading courses. We have small
classes, supportive instructors, and a friendly atmosphere. Students can earn their BC
Adult Graduation Diploma or upgrade their high school classes to successfully enrol in CNC
programs.

The Access Program helps students to attain their prerequisites for CNC programs, and gives
students additional skills to enhance their future success.

International students are attracted to CNC’s English Language program. This program,
which is amongst the best English language institutes in Canada, successfully prepares
students for entrance into college or university programs.

CNC’s Job Education and Training (JET) program provides people with learning and
developmental disabilities, respectively, the skills they need to attain entry-level
employment.

SUPPORT SERVICES AND FACILITIES


CNC offers a full range of services and facilities to help you get the best possible learning
experience. This section focuses mainly on services in Prince George, our largest campus.
However, many of these services are available to students at all CNC campuses. Please
consult specific regional campuses for details. All services/facilities listed in this section also
have web pages — please visit cnc.bc.ca

EMERGENCIES/EVACUATION PROCEDURE: 250 561 5827


In case of emergency, call one of these numbers:
• Call 250 561 5827 or ext 200
• Locate a red safety phone at most entrances
• Press the “S” button on marked pay phones
• Locate the closest Emergency phone in parking lots
The fire alarm operates in two stages; a slow intermittent ring signals a fire occurring
in another area of the College. A fast ring indicates a fire in the immediate area, and
everyone must leave the building via the nearest exit — the elevators must not be used.

Emergency messages to individual students


The College does not have a public address system that extends to classrooms. Given the
large number of students and classrooms, it is impossible to communicate messages to
individual students, except in genuine emergencies. In some cases, messages to students
may be relayed through the switchboard 250 562 2131, ext 0.
