Computers
There are over 1,000 computers at each campus for students to use free of charge. Each campus has student open access labs, which have many computers for students to use. The labs are open early and remain open late, so students can do work in the computer labs after classes. Each lab is equipped with pay for use printers. All computers have high-speed internet access and are free to use.
Banking
There are several large banks in Canada and most have branches throughout Niagara.
Students are encouraged to open a bank account as soon as they arrive. It does not cost anything to open a bank account and all that is needed is your passport. The best bank is the one that is most convenient to you.
Multi-Faith Rooms
Niagara College recognizes and appreciates that many students require a private space to practice their faith. For this reason, we have space allocated for students who wish to worship and reflect and for student faith based groups to congregate, including a multi-faith room and Wudu washing area.
Health, Wellness and Accessibility Services
We are your single location for support with physical and mental health, personal support and assistance with disability related needs.

Health Services feature support from our Nurses and Doctors, Wellness Services pertain to support from our Counsellors, and Accessibility Services has a team of Accessibility Consultants, Learning Strategist and Assistive Technologist; all here to help support you during your NC journey.
