Preparing for your Online course

There are different online courses available through Sheridan College. Whether you’re looking for a specific course or hoping to find something out-of-the-ordinary, you’ll find it here.

To start, you'll need to register for a Sheridan student account. From there, the world of online learning is your oyster. Register for the course that ignites your interest and open a world full of inspiration.

You can buy books, texts and/or course materials for online learning through the Davis Campus bookstore in Brampton.* To find out what books or materials are needed for your course, have your Sheridan course code handy and contact the Davis Campus bookstore.

If Trafalgar is more convenient for purchasing your course supplies, you can buy your text from the Davis Campus bookstore by phone and the Bookstore will courier your order to the Continuing and Professional Studies office at Trafalgar for you to pick up.
