As you may know, Capilano University has implemented many precautionary measures in response to the evolving situation of COVID-19.
A significant aspect of our efforts includes shifting to predominantly remote learning and student services with reduced on-campus staffing. To continue supporting students during the application and admissions process, our Recruitment and Registrar's Offices have introduced new hours until further notice. Please consult the list below for more information. While in-class instruction at secondary schools across Canada is suspended, the Recruitment team will provide updates to you on the information we receive about assessment of secondary school transcripts from your graduating students. Despite the challenges we are all experiencing at this time, CapU is equipped to handle processing of admissions into all of our programs and both Recruitment and the Registrar’s Office are available to answer questions from you, your students and their parents or supporters. Upcoming Digital Presentations We are shifting the Recruitment and Student Success presentations from our main campus location in North Vancouver to online in May and June. Registration is open for our popular JumpStart and Parent Orientation events in May and June. We appreciate you sharing the links below. JUMPSTART Learn more about CapU by attending JumpStart.

This year we will continue to offer a $1000 bursary to the Hebden Chemistry Bursary Recipient.One of the most rewarding tasks at Western Campus Resources is aiding in the selection of the Hebden Chemistry Bursary recipient. Note that all of the recipients are winners in our eyes.
I’ll share some trade secrets with you so that you will have a chance to make the best case for you. First, you must understand that a bursary is usually awarded to someone who can demonstrate a formidable financial need. This effectively eliminates students with very high GPAs as they will almost certainly receive scholarships. As well, if you come from a family that wants for nothing, you are unlikely to get the support of your instructor that weighs heavily in our decision. In addition to need, we also look at how you have made your school and/or community a better place. We are looking for someone who will spend the $1000 well, someone who has the organizational skills to maintain a respectable GPA and can manage his/her time well enough to keep up their marks. The key here is that we are looking for great citizenship with a high probability of academic success. Finally, you shouldn’t feel embarrassed or uneasy about applying for a bursary. At 17- or 18- years old, your financial needs are beyond your control. Need inspires success. If you want us to give your application a second or third look, show us that you have the moxy to succeed as a citizen and as a student. Your past and present involvement in your community and your respectable GPA speak loudly about what you will contribute in the future. By the way, we can spot recycled applications very quickly. They get eliminated early. We make a shortlist of 5-10 of the best applications and the four judges rank the applicants. The recipient is usually apparent as soon as the ranking is complete. Good luck to you, whether you apply for the Hebden Chemistry Bursary or scholarships. For more information, see the links below.

It has come to my attention that the attached letter was sent to your KPU high school applicants directly on Friday. The letter outlines some changes in transcript processes at KPU, and I regret that the Future Students’ Office was not able to alert you to these changes before your students were notified by the Office of the Registrar. The letter asks that all students who have applied to KPU for the Fall re-submit their transcript request through StudentTranscripts Service (STS). There is a link to a how-to video in the letter and the steps on the KPU website have been updated with a screenshot of what students should be selecting: www.kpu.ca/admission/transcripts. As always, I am available and happy to support your students as they navigate these changes. You and your students are encouraged to reach out by telephone at 604.599.3030 or via [email protected] with any questions you may have about KPU’s changes to transcript submission processes. Once again, I apologize for being unable to alert you to this change before your students were contacted. If you have any questions, please let me know. Sincerely, -Kaitlan Due to the current COVID-19 situation and precautions that are being implemented, we are suspending all campus tours and drop-in visits to the Future Students' Office effective Wednesday, March 18. Our team will still be available via phone appointments or e-mail during this time. We recognize that this has been a stressful time with unknown and unprecedented challenges due to COVID-19. University of Calgary is committed to supporting students during this time; we will continue to communicate with students and schools to understand impacts and determine the best way forward. We want to ensure students are not disadvantaged and are supported as they start their post-secondary journey.
With many schools across the world closed for extended periods of time and or moving to an online format, we recognize that you are facing uncertainty that is beyond your control and that you have many questions. To support you and your students during this time, we have created a frequently asked questions page. We also wanted to highlight two webinar recordings that we recently held for newly admitted students: Follow-Up Presentation for newly admitted Canadian Applicants Follow-Up Presentation for newly admitted International Applicants Lastly, we are pleased to announce a webinar series we are launching in April for current grade 10 and 11 students who may be interested in applying to UCalgary in their grade 12 year:
