The schedule is beginning to take shape for “Experience UVic” on May 26, a day of events providing Grade 12 students who have offers of admission, their parents and other high school students with a taste of campus life.
While the official program won’t start until the afternoon, an “Experience UVic” information tent will open at 9 a.m. at the Student Union Building (SUB) for check-in, and the Bookstore will open an hour earlier than usual, at 10 a.m.
Participants can attend a morning information session on how to register for classes and assemble a timetable, and tour the Medical Sciences Building and Ian Stewart Complex. The LE,NONET Project will be hosting an open house during the morning for prospective Indigenous students and their families.
“Experience UVic” will officially open over the noon hour in the McKinnon Gym with a brief opening ceremony with presentations by UVic students and alumni.
Volunteers will lead participants to the faculties of their choice to tour facilities, meet students and faculty members and learn more about course options. The information session on registration and timetables will repeat in the afternoon, and participants can also visit the Student Union Building for an information fair on student services, an informal student coffeehouse and presentations for students and parents.
There is no charge for “Experience UVic,” and those wanting to stay longer on campus can also register for “Destination UVic,” which includes residence accommodation and area tours. For more information visit http://registrar.uvic.ca/recruiting/experience.html
