Written by Chet Raj BhandariAsk a working animator anywhere in the world where Canada’s best animation training happens, and one name comes up again and again: Sheridan College. Seven of its animation graduates have won Academy Awards, including Domee Shi, who directed Pixar’s Turning Red and won an Oscar for the short film Bao, and Sheridan alumni have worked on more than 40 Disney and Pixar features. That reputation was built over more than five decades at Sheridan’s Trafalgar Road campus in Oakville, Ontario, where the animation program has trained illustrators, storyboard artists and directors since the 1970s.
But Sheridan is far bigger than animation alone. Founded in 1967, it now teaches business, technology, health, skilled trades and community services alongside its famous arts programs, spread across three campuses in the Greater Toronto Area. For Nepalese students, that mix of a globally respected creative program and career-focused business and tech diplomas is a big part of the appeal.
This page walks through what Sheridan actually offers — its campuses, programs, admission requirements and everyday student life — with support available through Goreto’s education counselling in Nepal for anyone applying to study in Canada.
Sheridan operates three campuses, all in the Greater Toronto Area:
| S.No | Campus Name | City | Province | Country |
| 1. | Trafalgar Road Campus | Oakville | Ontario | Canada |
| 2. | Hazel McCallion Campus | Mississauga | Ontario | Canada |
| 3. | Davis Campus | Brampton | Ontario | Canada |
Sheridan currently offers 454 courses. They are as follows:
| S.NO | PROGRAM LEVEL | NUMBER OF COURSES |
| 1 | Diploma | 157 |
| 2 | Post Graduate | 106 |
| 3 | Advanced Diploma | 85 |
| 4 | Certificate | 36 |
| 5 | Bachelors | 84 |
| 6 | Fast Track | 1 |
Sheridan runs on-campus residence at both Trafalgar (Oakville) and Davis (Brampton) campuses, and international students registered at Sheridan have access to a full range of on-campus facilities, including:
Sheridan counts more than 210,000 graduates worldwide. Some of its notable alumni include:
The application fee for Sheridan College is 100. This application fee is to be paid along with the completed application, mandatory documents, SOP & LOR for admissions. Also, note that paying the application fee doesn’t guarantee admission.
The average tuition fee for Sheridan College per semester is CAD $6,000. You can find semester-wise tuition fee/tuition fee per annum for UG, PG, Diploma, and MBA courses here:
| UG Tuition Fee | PG Tuition Fee | Diploma Tuition Fee | MBA Tuition Fee |

| CAD $13441 | CAD $15775 | CAD $10863 | CAD $17902 |
Sheridan’s Library & Learning Services team offers research help in person, by chat, email or phone across its campus libraries, along with access to e-books, databases and research guides. The Trafalgar Campus library can be reached at 905-845-9430 (ext. 2482), Monday to Friday.
Sheridan’s Career Services team (905-874-4440, caps@sheridancollege.ca) helps students with resume reviews, mock interviews and job postings, and many programs build in co-op terms or field placements that put students in front of employers before they graduate. Architectural Technology co-op students, for example, have placed with organizations including the City of Mississauga and PCL Construction. Sheridan’s Community Employment Services also runs employer connections and career events through the year.
International students on a valid study permit can generally work part-time on or off campus while classes are in session, and full-time during scheduled breaks, up to the hours currently permitted under their study permit. Sheridan’s Career Services team posts on-campus and local part-time openings, and many students also find work through campus bookstores, libraries and food services at Trafalgar, Davis and Hazel McCallion.
Sheridan runs three intakes a year — September, January and May — though not every program is open in every intake, so it’s worth checking a specific program’s page before planning an application.

Sheridan reviews applications on a rolling basis, but popular programs fill up early. As a general rule, aim to submit a complete application, including English test scores and supporting documents, about 9 to 12 months ahead of your intended intake so there’s enough time for offer, visa and pre-departure processing.
