You Belong Here.
Welcome to the Algonquin College Access Program (ACAP)! ACAP is a dedicated group of caring individuals from across the college and the broader community who enhance existing programs, create new initiatives and re-align existing functions for new learning, education and career opportunities for our diverse population.
Strengthening the fabric of our community
Algonquin College is passionately focused on student success, and its vision, mission, core values and operating principles were developed to support that goal. In turn, ACAP supports these efforts by welcoming and embracing diverse populations into college programs for the benefit of the entire community.

ACCESS We put learning within easier reach with our outreach programs and access to college information and services.
