Check, Check and Check! Welcome to TRU.

It’s time to dust off those notebooks and get back-to-school with TRU!

We’re less than two weeks away from the start of the fall semester. Where did the summer go?! Did you snag that amazing summer internship? Or reload your bank account working in the hot sun? Maybe you caught a few rays by the pool or lake? Regardless, the endless summer days are coming to an end and it’s time to dust off those notebooks, stretch your paper-writing fingers and jump right back-to-school. To help get you back into the swing of things, the Office of Student Engagement at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC has a New Student Checklist to check off everything you need to do – even if you’re still in a sun daze:

1. Take a campus tour – get to know your campus!
2. Access your myTRU account – where you can register for courses, pay tuition and more.
3. Pay tuition – check it off early; it’s due August 29th!
4. Send us your Selfie – smile! This will be on your Campus Card for your full four years.
5. Pick up your Campus Card and explore your Student’s Union – when you get a card, it’s official, right?
6. Buy your course materials – rent, used, new, digital, however you like them.
