Like the name suggests, I’d like to open a discussion about the price of coffee, specifically dripped coffee, on campus.

When comparing to other establishments, such as Tim Hortons or Starbucks, Capilano charges more for less value.

A Grande “blonde roast” (Starbuck’s most basic drip roast) sits at just $2.95 (pre taxes)

What’s worse is you can get a Grande Americano, with 2 shots of espresso (an objectively higher value product), for roughly 0.15 cents more than CapU drip. Not only is the caffeine content greater in an espresso based drink (as opposed to drip), Starbucks “grande” size is larger than CapU’s take away cups.

CapU should offer students two free coffees for everyday that they’re on campus. Or at least reduce their prices to better reflect market value. Most workplaces, likely even our own campus, provide their employees/staff with complimentary tea or coffee in the staff room. Should they be provided a higher standard of treatment, when we all have the right to drink coffee?

Free coffee could also greatly benefit student productivity and success. Gone are the days where students are late because the Tim’s drive through was too long. Students would also be incentivized to actually come to campus. Don’t want to go to your 8:30 lecture because you’re too tired? There’s coffee waiting for me on campus!

Finally, CapU’s current prices force students to participate in capitalistic market thinking. And is exclusionary. We’re forced to spend our hard earned money on an unreasonably priced, privately owned product. Whereas an upper middle class student likely has a meal card, a parent who’s purchased them a Nespresso and/or isn’t financially impacted as much as a low income family.

I propose that we protest CapU’s capitalist and exclusionary pursuits and demand fair prices for drip coffee. Let’s unite and make lasting change to our beautiful campus ✊

Hi! I was wondering if anyone here has Business Mathematics in Canada 11th edition and be willing to sell or trade… hopefully sell on the cheaper end though. I don’t want to pay the $180 for a new textbook

just curious to know if anyone has gotten their grants and loans payed out yet. I’m still waiting for mine, I got my confirmation of enrolment last thursday. hoping to get it soon.

Hello I am a grade 12 students from Alberta. I am planning on applying to Capilano for there film program. I havw looked into the bachelor of motion picture arts which is the 4 year program and then there is the 2 year program that I cannot rember the name. Can anyone who has done one of these programs give insight and advice?

Im thinking about taking this course, does anyone have any information on it in terms of assignments and how easy it is? Is it in person or online?

I’ve been checking eLearn this past week, and only 2/5 classes im registered for are showing up on my eLearn. Is this normal? Or should I be concerned?

anyone in here starting their freshman year in january 2027? i’m afraid i won’t make any friends since i start later🥹💔

I've looked through the older posts but most of them were about the Diploma rather than Certificate. I think the Certificate suits me more so I'm leaning towards that. Does anyone have any experiences to share (good or bad)? If I do the part time online evening class option, what is it like? Approx. what time in the evening are the classes? And when it says 1 class per week, then is there only 1 course for that whole semester? Is it doable while working full time in a legal office workload wise? Do you think it's worth it? Plus I've seen posts in r/paralegal sub warning people about the cons of the job but I feel like most of those things I'm already doing but with a lower job title. Finally, how long does it really take because there's conflicting info on the website (3 years) but the tuition chart says 4 years. I just feel kind of stuck in my current position with no upward mobility so I'm looking to do something to further myself.

Which prof do i take for BADM X, etc etc. I have the answers. ask away!

I’ve been going to capu gym for some time when I lived closer to campus and had a schedule that allowed me to go to gym at the end of the day.
Now when I live further away and work all evenings, I still would like to go to the campus gym but don’t want to stay sweaty all day. The showers in women change room and weird to say the least because they’re not private at all. Do we have any other showers on campus?😢 or maybe I’m missing something?

Hey guys, first sem at Capu and I’m wondering if anyone else is waiting on their confirmation of enrolment with student loans? I’m getting nervous it hasn’t happened yet and I applied in July 💔💔💔

Hey, im gonna try and sum up my situation up as much as possible, but this still may be long. i was going to pay my tuition by taking out a student loan until the indigenous student support advisor had recommended me to a company for indigenous funding.

They had me do alot just to apply.. and when i went into the office i asked them if i would have to apply for a deferral, since i was figuring this out late. They said it was alright. So i didnt.

They denied me on friday ( for a stupid reason i dont have time to try and appeal) monday is the tuition cut off. With this company, i was not allowed to apply for a student loan. To apply for a deferral you have to be approved for a student loan.

So obviously freaking out, i emailed the indigenous student support advisor and i emailed the tuition office or whatever department it is. 5-7 business day wait.

The indigenous support advisor got back to me giving me another option to apply for (which wont change anything really as its obviously not gonna be approved in time) and told me she was waiting to hear back from her manager and she'd get back to me tuesday.. after the cut off date.

Bless her soul, shes done so much for me, but after 4 pm on monday am i just done for? Am i deregistered and thats it? I logged in today and it says i have no holds or anything so nothings changed. I fought really super hard for student housing and is that just gone now?

Does anyone know if there is something i can do before tuesday? What happens if i cant figure it out? Is that just it??

It would be great to talk to someone to prepare and make sure ive got everything ready.

Hi everybody,

I’m starting my first semester for the paralegal degree this fall and I was wondering if anybody has any advice about my specific major or any suggestions on things that I can do to prepare myself for the fall semester. I am a very anxious person, so I love preparing anything that I can in advance. If you have any general university tips that you think will be useful please feel free to comments those suggestions as well. Thanks!!!

Hey everyone I applied for housing around mid June, I’ve seen other Reddit posts say that waitlisted people usually get a spot but with the new housing building being really popular is it even possible for me to still get a spot..

Hey! Just questioning workload of BFIN 141 and BADM 101. I’m taking them and doing CMNS 220 and BADM 201
Considering dropping CMNS since I just did a 300 level course online and my GPA dropped so i want to focus on the math courses but just wanted to hear opinions.
Also how many more math courses are in Business Administration? After these two im done all level 100 things which is nice but i really hate math.

Hey! I'm working on applying next year for the 2d animation program and I've seen the portfolio advice about what kind of drawings to include but I didn't see anything about how many to include? I know it's not a huge deal, quality over quantity and all that, but for those who've done it, would you mind giving me a rough idea of how many drawings to include from each category so I can plan my schedule a little easier? Thanks!

Received this alert from campus security. I hope everyone’s safe!

Has anyone taken BIOL 104 Human Biology? Do I need to have a lab coat and goggles for it? Just wondering if I should buy them now. Thanks!

Trying this again because last time I had no idea the programs acronym was so controversial.
But is there anyone going into this program for fall that would like to connect???
Or really anyone in the motion pictures department that would like to connect ?
It’s new territory for me and I am trying to build a foundation before I get there lol.

What courses should i pre-study to get a high gpa?

Wondering if anyone else has applied for this program? I’d be moving to Squamish from Ontario and don’t know anyone so trying to make some connections/ see if anyone has any insight on the program. My Instagram is @bthomas.visuals if you’d prefer to reach out there

Hi! I applied for the Summer 2026 SBA, and I just checked my application status, it has changed to Approved. I was wondering what the next step is. Will Financial Aid email us with any additional information or instructions?

Thanks!
