Although sensitive to the rich cultural diversity at the university, special attention is given to the enhancement of Canadian culture, including Canadian-written music, literature and drama. Vibrant and active Asian, Indo-Asian, South American and Eastern European groups organize a variety of cultural activities throughout the year. Traditional Canadian culture is also celebrated through various student-initiated events. Students may participate in Student Ministries, a program intentionally designed to develop the entire person. Peer counselling, spiritual development and discipleship, community outreach, volunteer service and humanitarian and social enhancement are some of the areas students may become involved.
All buildings are wheelchair accessible, ground floor dorm rooms are also available.
The University is willing to attempt to accommodate all physically disabled students to enable them to succeed in their courses and in life at university. All situations in which physical disabilities are involved are directed to the Director of Special Needs Services. Those with a diagnosed learning disability must submit documentation to the Director of Counselling Services. Special instructional arrangements, at the discretion of the University, will be determined on an individual basis but may include oral examination, extended testing or alternate testing rooms. The Director of Commuter and Special Student Services coordinates programming for students in the ESL programs, disabled students and international students.
