Firstly, we suggest that you get well-informed, so browse the website to get a sense of what you appreciate about the school and our programs. Peek at some of our student’s success stories! Then, call, email us or send a message on our website to make an appointment with a Program Advisor.

Our warm, approachable advisors all have the same goal: to get you started on your professional path. During this meeting, you and your advisor will talk about programs, and start dates, answer your questions, and learn more about you.

After that, they will explain the following steps for you to apply. Once accepted into your selected program you must finish the registration procedure as soon as possible.

Advance registration is strongly encouraged if you want to have a preferred program start date or apply for Student Loan financing.

We receive applications up to one year in advance of requested course start dates, therefore early registration is needed to assure a space in a class.

There is an audition process for all our in-person acting programs. Auditions are held via zoom where you will have an experience like no other. Unlike other schools, your audition is live where you get some one-on-one feedback from the panel. Once you have formally applied, our Admissions team will go over in detail what you need to prepare for your audition.

Yes, you can work while you are in school. Your class schedule is 2 and a half days a week which allows students to work a part-time job. For International Students, please check the International Students FAQ page.

If you are under 19 years of age, New Image College does require parents’ or guardians’ signatures on all documentation. We are happy to set up a zoom call with a parent or guardian to go over any questions they may have.

In the event of a Program start date change, before it starts, a $40.00 administrative fee will be charged for a change of contract and a $250 administrative fee per new Letter of Acceptance may be charged. Acceptance is valid only for the year after application submission. A Program change date is defined as a change of the Program start date after the admission forms were signed/completed. For example, your Program starts on January 8th, and you wish to postpone your start date to April 16th (or any other later intake date). If you wish to change your start date, please email [email protected]

In the event of a Program start date change, after it starts, we may charge up to 50% of your Program due to re-registration and administrative fees. For example, your Program started on January 8th, and you wish to postpone your start date to May 16th (or any other later intake date). Please review the refund policy to make sure that you want to follow this route

Co-Operative Education (Co-Op) integrates students’ academic education (classroom-based learning) with relevant, supervised, and paid work experience (work-based learning). It allows you to develop the skills needed to be successful in your future career. During placement, the student will be supervised, evaluated, and paid for by an employer and New Image College.

Not all programs include Co-Op Work Terms. The program that has a Co-Op term attached after the Study period are the following:

• Spa Technician Co-Op (1-year study, 1-year Co-Op)
• Nail Technician Co-Op (5 months study, 5 months Co-Op)
• Film Acting Conservatory Co-Op (2 years study, 1-year Co-Op)
• Co-Op Film Acting 1 (1-year study, 1-year Co-Op)
• Film Makeup Masters Co-Op (1-year study, 1-year Co-Op)
• Professional Makeup Artist Co-Op (5.5 months study, 5.5 months Co-Op)

Depending on your first choice of program, you may be able to accommodate a different program as well. For example, we have students that take both the Film Makeup Masters program and the Nail Technician programs concurrently. However, please speak about this with your Program Advisor to ensure that there is no conflict in your schedule.
