Hey Moscropians! Douglas College has virtual info events happening. For Burnaby, the dates are:

 Burnaby: November 9 (2-5pm) and November 10 (3-6pm)

Students will need to register online to access the PSBC Virtual Event platform, called Easy Virtual Fair.  You can register at anytime (even 10 minutes before their scheduled event).

Students will have access to the platform as soon as they register and they will be able to access the website even after the scheduled events.

Students can explore the different booths to access videos, viewbooks, etc.

On the scheduled event days, students can expect that representatives from the PSBC member schools will be available to chat and/or offer presentations.

Each post-secondary school will have their presentation schedule posted in their booth, if they are offering live presentations.

Douglas will be offering four live presentations throughout each event time.

Students will simply visit the booth they are interested in, go to the “presentation” tab and then click on the “attend” button at the time of the presentation.

This will take them out of the Easy Virtual Fair platform and to the presentation platform that post-secondary school has chosen.  For most schools, Zoom is the presentation platform of choice.

Students can return to Easy Virtual Fair and check out other booths.  They will also have the ability to chat with reps within the platform.  Reps will only be available during the scheduled event times, however students have access to the platform at all times.

There will be a few general events offered that all students are welcome to attend.  The November 14^th event is offered on a weekend to accommodate students who are unable to attend in the late afternoon/early evening sessions.

General Event (open to students from all regions): November 14 (12-4pm) and December 2 (3-6pm)

Even though your students can register now and gain access to the website, we ask that you promote your scheduled days as the ideal time for your students to engage with post-secondary reps.

We want to ensure that students have the best experience on the platform therefore we need to balance out attendance.

We are hosting an online presentation called Discover UBC’s Okanagan Campus on November 5th, 6:30-8:30pm.

This will be focused on our Okanagan programs, student life and experiences.

Our key section fo this will be a live student panel, with current UBC Okanagan students providing their insight and experiencing with this unique, exciting campus.

The coaching and guidance we offer our students has a direct and immediate impact on their personal and professional well-being.

One of the greatest outcomes for our students is increased confidence to push themselves out of their comfort zones and take action toward meaningful goals, even amidst considerable uncertainty.

Admission Update

UCalgary’s fall 2021 application is now open and we have seen tremendous interest thus far with a 15% increase in Canadian applications! We are also excited to highlight that the first round of offers will be issued in mid-November.

Our COVID-19 Admission Website has recently been updated to highlight information for applicants who apply with or without a provincial final examination as well as important information for schools that have switched to quad-mester/octo-semesters.

We also have published a number of resources to support students with the admission process including a how-to apply document, an instructional video for how to upload their documents (out-of-province only), and instructions on how to change an application after it is submitted.
