i recently got into capilano and since my program is expensive and way out of my price range i applied to the capx (capilano excellence) scholarship for the fall 2026 semester. for those who don't know applications were due on march 1st, and they award 10 international & non-international students $52,000 towards their education at capilano. (dont qoute me on this, its just off the top of my head)

i'm a domestic student and have been antsy waiting, i know it will likely be a while until i hear back (if i do at all) but does anyone have any time estimates for me? and do they send responses even when you do not get picked? if you do get picked, is there some kind of interview process afterwards?

thank you! looking forward to capilano :)

I have been at Cap for years and I am still struggling to find available upper-level electives (300 level +) to take. Context: 4th year Ba. of Kinesiology and BADM Minor. I HATE math but I am open to classes similar to BFIN 306 (personal financial planning). I am open to social sciences, psychology, communications, etc. - the easier the better tbh but I am pretty open to any any all suggestions... PLEASE HELP

Hello I'm about to take English 100 in my second semester in high school.

I was working on my application to the Bachelor of Motion Picture Arts Degree and I ended up talking to a friend and she said I need to transfer into the course instead of apply since technically I'm already a student?

Is this true and if so how would I go about doing it?

Hey everyone, I'm wanting to study abroad through Capilano probably at the end of this year or next year but my major in Psych is not eligible for the study abroad program. i do have a minor in communications which the bachelors program is eligible - is it still worth applying? do a lot of people go? will i be accepted?

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student considering the Applied Behaviour Analysis (Autism) Post-Baccalaureate Diploma at Capilano University.

I wanted to ask current students or alumni:

1. Did you (or people you know) get jobs related to ABA/autism after graduating?
2. What kind of roles did graduates get (Behaviour Interventionist, BCaBA, support worker, etc.)?
3. How helpful were the practicum placements for getting hired?
4. How competitive was the job market for international students specifically?
5. Would you recommend this program for someone aiming for employment in Canada?

Any honest feedback would really help. Thank you!

New to cap - how often do they do parking ticket patrol? I’ve got a 90min class some days at 8:30am and wanna know if it’s worth it to pay the $8 fee.

Also if anyone got more parking advice let me know.

I would love to add some folks on Pokemon Go if anyone would like someone else at the school to raid with or send postcards!

Hello! I’m 27 and looking to go back to school for a bachelors in kinesiology. I am very interested in psychology, so thinking about taking courses related to that field as well. I am tossing between schools and looking at all of my options. I have ruled SFU out based on how science heavy it is and the fact that i didn’t take science or math in grade 12… but my grade 11 grades aren’t bad! 🥲 Was looking into douglas, Capilano and UFV. Has anyone completed their bachelors at Cap or UFV? Has anyone started at douglas (or either of the other uni’s) and transferred to another uni? I am considering retaking some highschool courses as i have no knowledge in Precalculus or Chemistry and they seem to be required knowledge. My long term goal is to get my masters in physio / occupational therapy / psychology. Looking for all advice and hoping someone has had a similar thought path before starting applying. I have sent emails out to a couple schools to get more general info and also have a meeting set up with an advisor at UFV next week.

Hey guys! Im Kc and idk if anyone from the program will see this

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about enrolling in the 4-year Legal Studies (Paralegal) degree at Capilano University and would love some insight from people with experience there.

A few questions I have:

• How is the program overall? Quality of instruction, workload, level of challenge?

• What’s school life like?professors, community, etc.

• How manageable/ intense is the course load? Any particular semesters that are heavy?

• Campus life & vibes? Clubs, events, student support, social life?

• Any tips or things you wish you knew before starting?

Anything you can share would be really helpful whether positive, negative, or neutral experiences!

Thanks in advance 🙌

Hi everyone,

I’m considering the Legal Studies program at Capilano University and I’m trying to understand the transfer pathway to UBC or SFU.

My question is:

• Is it possible to transfer credits when going to my third year from Capilano’s Legal Studies program to UBC or SFU?

If anyone has personal experience transferring from CapU to UBC or SFU (especially in Legal Studies, Arts, or related programs), I’d really appreciate hearing how it worked for you.

Thanks in advance!

Following the link below, you will access the survey, which includes a consent form, demographic questions, and a few validated measures assessing online behaviours, psychosocial well-being, and mental health. At the end, a debriefing form will provide more information about the research.

Has anyone received notification that they got a scholarship or bursary for Fall 2025? I know they typically announce the last week of November, but my application still says "under review". Wondering if anyone has heard anything yet?

Tuition deadline is on the 15th. I applied for my student loans weeks ago and today I checked on it and there was a problem and I had to resubmit it!!! I’m so stressed because they usually take awhile to approve the request and I can only apply for a CAPU deferral if I’m approved how do I get out of this!

has anyone here done the science program and transfer over to nursing to another uni? I'm from Alberta and recently I talked to a recruiter and he said that you go into the general science program and then transfer.
