The Centre supports international students in their studies and their educational extracurricular activities. Advising Centre Advisors will answer questions about your program of study, course selection for university transfer or career programs, developing an educational plan, and so on. Counselling Department Counsellors provide educational counselling, career counselling, and personal counselling plus provide workshops and outreach programs. Orientation Capilano College invites all international students to Orientation prior to the start of term. The objective of Orientation is to provide international students with an introduction to Capilano College and to Vancouver.
Orientation provides information to make the life of an international student much easier.
We recommend that international students arrive in Vancouver at least three weeks before the start of term to allow time to get settled, adjust to the climate and other changes, and generally adapt to living in a new culture before classes begin. International Club Capilano College encourages all international students to participate in the International Club to meet Canadian and other international students and to participate in a variety of functions, on and off campus. The Worldbeat newsletter, published four times annually, is distributed to all international students. Peer Support Centre Student volunteers are available as conversation buddies during fall and spring terms. Volunteers assist other students by providing information and through supportive listening.
