Animation Program – Fall 2020 Town Hall Forum

Sheridan is committed to delivering a high-quality learning experience this fall and to helping students thrive in their programs.

We fully understand that your post-secondary education is a significant undertaking – especially during a global pandemic where the rules guiding how people can live, work, travel, socialize and learn continue to change.

Please join us for a Town Hall Forum where you’ll hear the latest updates about our comprehensive plans, resources and supports to ensure a meaningful and valuable learning experience for you this fall – and where you can ask us your important questions.
