Reduced barriers for Indigenous students
We recognize Indigenous students may experience barriers to attending post-secondary education. To help remove some of these common barriers, we:
- Waive application fees and tuition deposits for self-identified Indigenous students
- Hold space for Indigenous students in popular programs
- Advise on funding opportunities
- Offer pathways to select programs even if students don’t have the admission requirements
