Trent鈥檚 exceptional Indigenous diploma programs provide a clear path for self-identifying First Nations, M茅tis or Inuit students who wish to make the transition into university level studies. In a supportive and inclusive environment, students in the Foundations of Indigenous Learning diploma bring their diverse cultures, values, histories and languages to the classroom. Students who complete an Indigenous Diploma Program may choose to continue their education and pursue a Bachelor鈥檚 degree, transferring their diploma credits. The majority of students complete a diploma and degree within four years. The Diploma in Foundations of Indigenous Learning is a transition year program open to Indigenous students who have the equivalent of Grade 12 or who qualify as mature students or whose admission is approved by the Director of the First Peoples House of Learning and the Office of the Registrar. Students of Indigenous ancestry are encouraged to enrol. The Diploma is awarded upon successful completion of the program. With it is included a Trent University transcript identifying all courses undertaken and grades received. All courses receive a University credit.
Upon successful completion of the transition year, students will receive a Diploma in Indigenous Learning and can continue to a General or Honours program in Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Social Work, and Bachelor of Education. Credits earned in the program can be transferred to these degrees.
