Tips, tricks, and successful strategies for applying to post-secondary

Before you go to a post-secondary school, you have to apply. While the application process may seem daunting, at Kwantlen Polytechnic University we are here for you every step of the way to make the transition, or return, to university as painless as possible.

1) Talk to the Future Students’ Office – kpu.ca/future-students
The Future Students’ team is here to help you achieve your goals at KPU. They can answer your questions, provide you with a wealth of information about the university, assist you with your application, and even arrange a campus tour.

2) Know the requirements – kpu.ca/programs
KPU offers both open intake, and limited intake programs. If a program is open intake, there is no limit to the number of applicants that can be accepted in an application cycle. Programs that are limited intake, have a maximum number of spaces per cycle, and may have additional program-specific requirements. To learn more about all of KPU’s programs, visit kpu.ca/programs

3) Know the deadlines – kpu.ca/admission
Don’t miss an opportunity because of bad timing. Set reminders for important dates and deadlines. Make sure to allow yourself time to organize documents, and put together your application package. KPU is currently accepting applications for Fall 2015.
