College of the Rockies is hosting an open house for community members and prospective students on Wednesday, February 11 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Cranbrook main campus.

College faculty and staff will be on-hand to answer questions and some programs will be holding interactive demonstrations.  Practical Nursing students are available to take blood pressures, Kinesiology students are hosting a variety of fun and informative fitness tests, Dental Assistant students are leading tooth care practice sessions, UVIC-EK Teacher Education students are leading theatre improv games and more.  Campus tours will be ongoing and a visit to the Haul Truck simulator will take place at 4 p.m.

Find out how to finance your education from Financial Aid and Awards Officer Lois Murray, including details of the Entrance Awards available to new students. Lois will be offering a presentation at 4:30 p.m.

Talk to an Education Advisor about course selection, prerequisites and the over 80 transfer agreements the college has with universities across Canada and abroad. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about our new and exciting dual admission option with University of Lethbridge as well.

College of the Rockies’ Recruitment Officer Jennifer Inglis says, “The open house promises to be not only informative but also a lot of fun.  There are going to be many activities and presentations this year along with tours of our main campus. Many people in the community haven’t been up to visit since our expansion and I think they will be impressed with the new look of the college.”

Members of the International department will be on hand to provide information about international opportunities for students as well as how to become a host family.

The Admissions and Registration staff can help you to fill out an application form for the September semester and will waive the $30 application fee if you apply at the open house.

Light refreshments will be available and all attendees are eligible to enter their name into draws including one for a $300 tuition award.
