The Career Access Lab is a 15-Week Program, that follows a Winter and Spring academic calendar. This means:
- After you have completed the CAL registration form, you will be contacted to begin the intake process in October of 2019.
- Once accepted into the program, you can expect classes to begin in January of 2020.
- If the Winter class schedule does not align with your personal schedule, or perhaps you’ve missed the Winter deadline, you may register for the Spring program.
- The Spring intake process begins in January of 2020, and classes can be expected to begin in March of 2020.
