I am an associates degree student at Columbia College. I'm looking to move to Capilano by next fall semester. I am pursuing business, anyone who's already in Capilano and can help with a few questions?

On top of the Bachelor of Motion Picture art I'm also considering applying to the acting for stage and screen diploma. Is anyone in/has been in it? What was your experience like? Were you allowed to work as an actor (or not) while you were in the program (both during the terms & during scheduled breaks)? Was the program useful to you? How much screen acting did you actually do? Were you taught anything about auditing/finding an agent/etc? Was there anything bad about the program? What's the course load like? Basically anything you think I should know to make an informed decision :)

Hi! I'm thinking of transferring to CapU and applying to the Bachelor of Motion Picture Arts. I was wondering if anyone who's in the program/been in recently could tell me more about it? What is/was your experience like? Was it worth it? I'd also like to know how much theory and hands-on stuff you do in the program. Do you collaborate with the acting students ? If you've graduated from it do you, looking back, think you were taught useful skills that are helping you in your career?

Hi, I am thinking of applying to CapUthis year for 2D animation or the IDEAS program, and i don’t know if they care about early decisions. I still have a lot to do but I was wondering how much to hone in on how fast I should get my portfolio done. The extra time would be great but if there is greater chance of being expected for applying, I would try to apply soon.

Let me know your experiences, thanks!

Hello! I’ll be transferring from Quebec ( I’m from bc ) and will be going into my 3rd year. Has anyone transferred credits from another province ? How did it go and did you have to apply to transfer if it wasn’t on the bctransfer guide ?

It says these things are required to accept my application but I’m not sure how I actually submit this. Do I just email it to them? Is there a place to do it on their website?

Does anybody know if there is a Mosque on campus or a CapU MSA?

I’m hoping someone can help me out with this!

So my bestfriend just went on exchange for one semester at CapU and I want to send her a gift in the mail while she’s there.

I only know she lives in the student housing on campus, but she hasn’t given me the exact address - although I have asked for it indirectly, because it would be best if its a surprise that I am sending her something.

Do the uni have a postoffice address I can use or do I need her dorm/hall number to address the package to her?

Hi!

Biomarkers are biological features such as proteins, genes, an brain images, that indicate the state of a disease in a person.

Is there anyone in Bachelors of Business Administration attending this fall'24 at capu?

Hi guys! I've been looking into the "apartment style" dorm rooms. CapU mentions this option on their website but I can't seem to find much information, so I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this. I was wondering if these are harder to get selected for since they have a private bathroom and kitchenette. Any other information you could share about these rooms would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
