Program Transition

The final intake into the UTM/Sheridan Communication, Culture, Information and Technology program will be Fall 2021. We look forward to continuing to run the program jointly at both institutions until the final cohort graduates in 2024.

Every effort will be made through academic advisement and tracking to ensure that students have completed all required coursework at Sheridan by August 2024. In special circumstances, provision will be made through to August 2025 for students who require one or two additional credits to complete the Sheridan certificate coursework.

Below are answers to questions current CCIT students may have about the completion of their degrees.

Will I be able to complete my degree?

UTM and Sheridan are both committed to running the joint program to ensure that all those admitted to the UTM/Sheridan CCIT program prior to and including Fall 2021 will be able to graduate as long as all certificate and degree requirements are successfully completed. The Sheridan certificate curriculum, including all current courses, will remain available to students admitted to the joint program prior to and including Fall 2021; for these cohorts, there will be no reduction in CCIT courses as they move through the program toward graduation.

Will I still need to travel to both UTM and Sheridan during this transition period?

Yes. The structure of the CCIT joint program will not change during the transition period. Sheridan certificate courses will be offered at the Trafalgar Road Campus in Oakville, as usual.

What facilities will I have access to at Sheridan?

During the transition period, CCIT students will have the same access to Sheridan facilities as they have always had.

What will take the place of the joint program?

For first-year students enrolling at UTM in the Fall of 2021 and beyond, UTM will continue to deliver the Honours Bachelor of Arts CCIT degree. The curriculum will be revised to reflect evolving needs and interests, and to prepare students for the expanding range of opportunities for communication professionals.

Will I be able to take courses in the CCIT program after the transition?

At UTM, courses migrated from Sheridan to UTM will be equivalent to non-major elective courses — so yes, a majority of the courses will be available to Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology students. At Sheridan, CCIT students will take only CCIT courses, as per past practice.

I have other questions. Who should I contact?

If you have any other questions that we haven't addressed here, please email Sheridan's CCIT Program Coordinator, Michael Jones.
