The Library Commons
The Library Commons at the Barrie and Orillia campuses and the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) at the Owen Sound Campus combine library and open learning (computer lab) services in a one-stop facility.
As well as information, these locations provide students with a spacious area where they may relax in the reading lounge, or study in groups or individually.
The Barrie Library Commons is set up for wireless connectivity.
In addition to
helping students with research, the libraries provide tours and in-class and individual research instruction.
Ask staff to help you find your way through today’s maze of information.
Co-operative Education (Co-op)
We make education work!
Georgian grads get jobs because co-operative education gives them the
competitive edge in today’s job market. And Georgian is one of the best! The proof? We’re the
third-largest co-op college in Canada - and
more than 92 per cent of our graduates find jobs. Co-op is an integral part of many Georgian diploma and degree programs.
If your program does not include a formal co-op component, you’ll likely find that it provides a clinical placement, field placements, internship or other workplace component.
