Brockville was originally suggested for the main campus of a proposed St. Lawrence College, but it was decided the local population was not large enough to support one campus. Cornwall and Kingston were chosen to serve six counties in the Eastern Ontario region: Frontenac, Leeds, Grenville, Dundas, Stormont, and Glengarry. In Kingston, the 59-acre former Ontario Psychiatric Hospital farmland at King St. and Portsmouth Ave. was acquired from the government for one dollar. In 1968, Cornwall Classical College, a private Catholic school, was purchased and later renamed Moulinette Hall. In 1970, Brockville was recognized as the third campus, acquiring Ontario Hospital farmland on the hill of Parkedale Avenue for the sum of one dollar.
The Kingston campus is at 100 Portsmouth Avenue, Kingston, Ontario K7L 5A6. The Cornwall campus is at 2 St. Lawrence Drive, Cornwall, Ontario K6H 4Z1. The Brockville campus is at 2288 Parkedale Avenue, Brockville, Ontario K6V 5X3. Listed facilities include a library (learning commons), health care simulation labs, a student lounge, a cafeteria, athletic facilities (cardio room, weight room, gymnasium), Cornwall Campus Residence, a bookstore, food services, health services, on-site laundry facilities, and college computer labs.
Applicants can apply through the Ontario College Application Service (OCAS), with ranking used for highly competitive programs.
