As you’ve likely heard, we are very excited to share that we can welcome students back to campus this fall!
Earlier this week, B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry gave the go ahead to prepare for a full return to on-campus education this September. While we plan for a safe learning environment, students can also begin envisioning what their learning journey will look like come September. This positive news comes after a long and challenging year for you and your students. We appreciate that this announcement likely results in many questions. While we cannot answer all questions in these early stages of planning, we are committed to keeping you informed! Please continue to monitor our Return to Campus web-page, as this page will be updated as plans develop! Virtual Spring Open House – March 27, 2021 We are also happy to announce that the TRU's Spring Open House is going virtual this year! Students, whether they’ve applied or not, who want to explore TRU’s programs and services, can join us live - online, Saturday March 27, 2021 from 10 am - 3pm (pst). Students can pre-register online at tru.ca/openhouse.
