Do the courses show up on my canva when classes start? And are there going to be meetings (on teams?)

Hey everyone, looking to get some thoughts or see if anyone else at Mohawk (or other Ontario colleges) has gone through this.

I'm am Nursing student at mohawk with severe documented ADHD/executive function impacts. My Accessibility Counselor (ALS) verified my medical documentation and approved my functional need for a laptop and noise-canceling headphones.

Here’s where the wall is:

• The provincial Ministry BSWD/CSG-DSE manual sets the funding ceiling for a computer package up to $2,000 (and up to $500 for headphones).
• Mohawk puts his own cap of $500 and $250 because it can.
• I even submitted an exception request for ~$1,850 total and listed all the features and connected them to my disability and directly match my doctor's functional assessment.
• ALS said they can do nothing about cap as financial office has set them.
• To make matters worse, Financial Aid has been almost impossible to reach, drop-ins are closed, appointments are fully booked for the month, and my emails/web forms have gone unanswered for weeks while classes are starting.

If they completely deny my exception request based only on their internal $500 cap (without reviewing my actual medical necessity), or if they keep ignoring the request, I’m planning on filing a complaint with the Ombudsman.

My core issue isn't just wanting more funding, it's that setting an additional cap on not their but ministry’s funding and that too in disability cases, feels unfair to so many points knowing others are able to take advantage of what I can’t just because I go to mohawk even after requesting exception of reviewing my case its rigid $500 blanket cap without a transparent, fair exception process prevents students with severe documented needs from getting the accommodations funded under provincial BSWD guidelines.

Has anyone here ever filed a complaint with the Ombudsman over Financial Aid or BSWD issues? Did it help move your file along, or did the college just stick to their internal cap anyway? Would love to hear if anyone has successfully gotten an exception past the $500 baseline!

Anyone can share with me the fall 2026 Schedule for CVT?

Hi guys! I’m resuming in January at the IAHS campus for Practical nursing (715) and I just wanted to ask a couple of questions. I’ll really appreciate your responses. I currently live around Upper gage and I was thinking to move so I could be closer to the campus since I can’t drive yet. That decision is hard to conclude on because I don’t know what the classes will be like. Is it mostly online or mostly in-person, like how many times per week will I actually need to be in school, as for the clinicals, do we get posted to places far from school or around the vicinity?

In summary, I just wanted to know how much I’m really going to have to be on campus, as this will help me decide on whether I need to move or not. Thank you!

Thank you all so much for your responses, I appreciate!

Does anyone know if we're allowed to use laundry pods in the residence laundry room or only liquid detergent?

Me and my friend are selling our hsr bus passes, they are valid until next year end of Aug. please dm/comment if interested.

Hi everyone,

I'm a new student starting at Mohawk this September and had a question about Orientation.

The email I received says Orientation is on Tuesday, September 8. For my program, it looks like the orientation session will be virtual from 11:15 AM to 12:45 PM.

I'm just wondering if that's all I'll be doing on September 8, and then my in-person classes start the following day on September 9?

Just want to make sure I'm understanding the schedule correctly. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am planning on applying this October for the radiography 740 program at Mohawk. I graduated with a Bachelors of Health Science from Western last year. Most of the grades i’ll be applying with will be from high school as I didn’t take the prereq specific courses in uni. I’m wondering if anyone know if I’ll have any better chances of acceptance than an applicant straight from high school? Does anyone know if it’s a first come first serve as long as you meet requirements type of program or if they actually filter through your grades and accomplishments?

Also if anyone has applied to Sheridan’s program or has any opinions on it pls feel free to dm me

Please DM if you are interested I have a valid code for 2026 - 2027 academic year.

I am a new student starting by graphic this fall I wanted to ask if there are other other these I would love to connect and talk some more

Hi, need some clarification: if I apply the HSR voucher code on my presto card, does that automatically set my card to post-secondary and give me the GO Transit student discount? Do I also need to sign up for a GO student ID?

Hi there,

Looking for new friends anyone have any classes with me!?

Hey! I’m starting the Educational Support program online this fall and wanted to see if anyone else here is in the program! 😊
Since it’s online, I’d love to connect with some people in the same program/classes so we can help each other out throughout the semester.
I’d also love to hear from anyone who has already taken or completed the program! How did you find it overall? Any courses you found particularly difficult, things you wish you knew going into it, tips for placements, or anything else you’d recommend to a new student?
Thanks!! :)

Back in February I applied to three courses here for the September 2026 term, Advertising and Marketing Communications management, Art and Design Foundations, and Business, I got accepted into all three but didn't accept the offers in time and they expired. Today I went in and asked what I can do about this since I've already applied before and was accepted, they then told me that all the courses are currently full. This was devastating as other colleges will sometimes have the course say "Wait-listed" if this is the case. They said I didn't need to reapply and that if people drop out of these courses I could possibly be contacted. They said there's no way to check my status in the wait list and they will contact me. The main thing I wanted to ask what is the likelihood that I will actually hear back with good news, especially since it's so close to the start of school, has anyone been through something like this before, what should my best course of action be?

I have a full year HSR Bus pass (from Mac) if anyone needs it dm me and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Anyone going to Mohawk for Med Rad Sci - Radiography this fall?
I got the late offer and I would really like to connect with people.

I’m nervous about being older and going back to school. I’ll be 36 years old this fall and I’m excited about making a change but nervous about being older. Anyone else a mature students starting school in the fall?

What are they testing? the mask's actual fit specifically that you know how to put each type of mask on?

Hello everyone! Im about to start Sem 1 of graphic design in a few days after switching over from the computer programming course. Is anyone else about to start the course too? Probably a long shot to find other artists on reddit of all platforms, but still! If you're out there, we should make a group chat or something before classes start!

I am looking to sell my HSR voucher code valid from August 2026 - August 2027. Willing to sell for $330.

DM me or post a comment if interested

Just curious if anyone actually is planning to attend in person for the orientation for DCS. Lowkey didn’t think there would be a program specific one, but I’m also not sure how many other people will go?

Hey, is anyone here taking COMP10184 Internet of Things Programming at Mohawk College this Fall 2026?

I’m in Semester 6 of Software Development and wanted to connect with some people before classes start. I’ve heard from a couple of students that we may need an ESP32 microcontroller / IoT kit, but I haven’t found an official equipment list yet.

Would be useful to have an open chat where we can compare what we hear from the professor, help each other with setup, discuss labs/assignments, and generally stay connected through the semester.

If you’re taking COMP10184 too, comment or DM me. If a few people are interested, we have discord chat as well

Dm or comment if you are interested. I am a Mohawk student, email states..

“Your voucher code is valid:
Fall: September 1 - December 31st
Winter: January 1 - April 30th
Spring/Summer: May 1 - August 31st”
