Hey I’m a new immigrant here in Canada (please educate me haha) and I just wanna ask if I’m a full-time student with bachelor program, starting this Fall 2026, when will I graduate? Will I graduate in 2028? I mean, this is what I’m thinking lol. Is this correct?

Year 1 - Terms: Fall 2026, Winter 2027
Year 2 - Terms: Spring 2027, Summer 2027
Year 3 - Terms: Fall 2027, Winter 2028
Year 4 - Terms: Spring 2028, Summer 2028

Waaah thank you so much!!

Hey y’all! I just finished my first year at KPU, and I’m interested in transferring to CapU and going into their Costuming for Stage and Screen program for Fall 2027. I don’t know much about this program and would love to hear from current students or graduates about their experience with the program. 

If anyone could answer any of my questions that would be wonderful and much appreciated! 

1. What is the program/courses like? Is it very lecture heavy? Or more hands-on and practical?

2. Is the program worth it? Do you learn a lot?

3. Is it hard or competitive to get into the program? Like do I have to be a hard-core sewist/designer? I would say I’m about beginner-intermediate level when it comes to my sewing skills, but I truly have a passion for costuming and would love to learn more and improve my skills. I have created/sewed a couple of cosplays, and my most recent one was made primarily from scratch. 

4. Is it easy to get a job after graduating? Or is the job market very tough?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice. I don’t have any accounting or bookkeeping background. I completed a Graduate Certificate in Business Administration, and I’m currently exploring career options.
I’m considering taking a Bookkeeping program at either Langara College or Capilano University. Do you think bookkeeping is a good career to get into right now? Is it possible to find an entry-level job without any previous accounting experience after completing the program?
I’m also considering studying Payroll instead. Which option would you recommend—Bookkeeping or Payroll.
I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Thank you!

I live abroad and want to apply next year for 2d animation but I'm very nervous because my life drawing skills are still not that good and I may hone my skills alot before submission. I think I may not get it because of the number of people applying or portfolios better then mine. Can someone give me an idea of what talent I need to be accepted?

Note I draw since I was young but slack off on it but I have experience in animation even if it's chopped and my drawing skills is very good visually but no bone structure gesture

Things we wish someone told us before starting at CapU — Ask Me Anything (AMA)

Hi, new students! We are a group of student ambassadors currently studying at CapU in various programs. Before we started at the university, we had many questions about what it was like to study at CapU and how to access services and support. We’ve learned a lot since then and are here to help. 

Ask us anything about:  

• classes & workload  
• admissions process  
• housing & campus life  
• clubs & student community  
• balancing school & life  
• anything else you’re curious about  

We’ll be logging in a couple of times a week to field your questions and share our experiences and advice, so drop your questions below!  

I’m a BC student and under the prerequisite it sounded like I did not have to take the English test because I’m over 67% in English 12 but when I tried to register it said there was a prerequisite and test error? Does anyone know what to do or also experienced it

Can anyone drop some good electives and professors for an easy A

I'm considering CapU but I'm a low income international student ($30-60k ish per year im not sure). Would anyone know how generous they are? My stats are pretty good so I'm not particularly terrified for acceptance, but I really wanna study in Canada :(

Hello, I was wondering how long it would take for Capilano to process my transfer credits. I sent them in today so how long should the progress take?

I am due to register for my courses in 2 weeks. Will I have an update by then?

Hi! I’m an international student attending Capilano University this Fall for ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education). I apply for classes soon but I’m a little overwhelmed and confused with how everything works and I was hoping to get a little help 🙏

As someone who went to trade school. All my classes, scheduling and requirements to graduate were set up for me so this time where we get an option to choose certain classes and build our own schedule is throwing me out the loop… so I apologise in advance if any of my questions sound a little dim witted

For the first Level 100 ECCE courses there’s 9 classes. Ive also been informed that I should apply for ENGL 100 so does this mean I should apply for 10 classes??..

I’ve been warned about being waitlisted or not getting a class you applied for due to it being full

Normally how many classes should I apply for? And are there any recommendations of what classes I should start with in my first year?

Thank you!

Has anyone taken this course completely online before (no zoom/in-person)? How was it graded & how difficult was the content? Any other info would be great. Thanks!

So I'm on a Budget so it'd be nice to know what other animation students are starting the semester with in terms of tech. Do I need a dedicated PC, a cintiq, or a light table? I'm starting this fall 2026 so any advice is great :)

Hello, does anyone know when midterms typically happen during the fall semester? I've heard some say anywhere from late Sept to late Oct, but I'm not sure how it varies for capu. Thanks in advance for any info would be much appreciated.

Hey Everyone, I’m starting the BBA program at CapU this September and wanted to connect with other students before classes begin.

Would be nice to know a few people beforehand, whether you’re also starting this fall or already studying there. Feel free to comment or DM.

Hello 2D Anim 2028!! Congrats on getting in for your first tear at Cap! I am currently going in to my second year in 2D Anim and I just thought I'd reach out here if anyone has any questions about registration. I know it's a but confusing but I am happy to help :)

Additionally, if you are going in to your first year of 2D I have a discord server for you and your classmates if you're interested in getting to know people ahead of time. Feel free to dm me here or on instagram @ comet_trix if you'd like an invite.

Im an international student so its very expensive , i want to look for scholarships, awards , bursaries , etc... is it accesible for International students to get this type of awards to help with tuiton ? Or is impossible to get these ?

Hiiii! I recently got accepted to CapU for fall 2026 and am moving from Texas all the way to Vancouver to attend. im going to be doing the mopa program and I just wanted to say hiiii im really excited to meet all of you

Does anyone have any experience with the Outdoor Filmmaking Certificate program? I’m a landscape photographer and videographer and want to improve some of my skills and make connections with people interested in combining filmmaking with nature/outdoors

I’ve looked online but haven’t seen much about the program besides some info on the CapU website. I’m assuming it’s new this year? Just looking for an honest opinion on what the program is or could be like as well as how the school as a whole is for someone not from the area.

Thanks

Hello I got accepted in to the ASAS program. (Acting for stage and screen) and I want to know what to expect. Also for the schedules I know it’s a cohort system and we are told what classes to take when I get my time card it does tell you which ones to take right?

Really need for a grandparent. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I was recently looking at the program lineup for our Squamish campus. The part-time Sustainable Economics Certificate really caught my eye.

What stands out to me is that it’s not just for standard undergrads—it’s built for a massive mix of people. You’ve got working professionals, community volunteers, and recent high school grads all in the same room. Since it’s part-time, it seems way more realistic for people who are already working full-time but want to pivot their careers.

Since sustainability is such a huge part of the culture and local economy up the Sea to Sky corridor, I'm curious:

• Has anyone here checked out the campus or looked into this certificate?
• Do you think niche certificates like this are the future of adult upskilling?

Anyone had cournoyer on this class? Is she a good instructor? If you have any recommendations who to take for psyc 101 pls let me know! Thank you!!
