ARRANGING A VISIT

 Visitors are welcome to arrange a visit anytime, but especially when classes are in session (for 2011-12, September 12 to December 9 and January 9 to April 13) when it is possible to participate in College activities. It can also be beneficial to visit during special events: see the current Calendar of Events.

The best day to visit is Tuesday when there are two lectures (Art and Science), a discussion group, and a Community Dinner, but visitors can come any other day: see the current Weekly Schedule.

Twice a year we have Student-for-a-Day when prospective students are especially encouraged to visit because of the additional benefit of meeting other prospective students. The first day is a Saturday in November so that those in school can attend and the second is a Tuesday during the most common dates for March Break. Each day has our regular Tuesday schedule. The upcoming dates are:

  • November 19, 2011
  • March 13, 2012

Please let us know if you plan to visit so that we can make sure someone from the College is available to meet you and, if necessary, show you where to park. We operate inside a church: please come to the blue door at 2 Monk St. and head downstairs to the College office.

Nearer downtown, we recommend the following b&bs (part of Bed and Breakfast Ottawa):

There are many b&bs in Sandy Hill, just east of downtown and a five-minute drive or 40-minute walk from the College. We recommend the following, all near King Edward Ave.:

The following Sandy Hill b&bs are part of The Ottawa Bed and Breakfasts Network:
