Explore Okanagan College this month and you could win a $500 tuition voucher

Thinking about post-secondary studies, or know someone who is? Wondering about entrance requirements or how to apply? Curious about career paths after school? 

Join Okanagan College for an Open House at the Kelowna campus this month. It could be just the ticket to having your questions answered, and you could come away with a tuition voucher.

OC’s Fall open house will take place Saturday, Nov. 19 and prospective students who register online will be entered into a draw for a $500 tuition voucher. More details about the event and eligibility info for the draw can be found on Open House webpage.

Don’t miss these Open House activities:

Spotlight sessions: This is your chance to explore a specific program, connect with professors and instructors, and have a hands-on learning experience. There’s a Program Spotlight session (or several) for everyone.

College fair: Drop in any time to meet faculty, staff and current students. This is the perfect place to ask questions about programs, how to help finance your education, next steps, and more. 

Campus tours: Join a current OC student on a guided campus tour. They’ll show you classrooms, where to find student services, the bookstore, places to eat, and other resources. 

Apply for free: You can also apply for any OC program at the Open House and the application fee will be waived. To expedite this process students are encouraged to come with an education planner account already created. To do this, go to educationplannerbc.ca.

“We are incredibly excited to be able to welcome future students to campus this fall,” said Meri-Kim Oliver, vice-president for students at Okanagan College. “Events like these are an excellent way to explore and experience OC first-hand, to get your questions answered and to learn about programs, pathways and supports available to students.”

Oliver added the college’s doors are open to anyone who is curious about programs and courses. 

“Whether you are stepping into a college classroom for the first time or are returning to education, this is a wonderful opportunity to get a sense of what awaits you at OC, to help make it easier for you as you make decisions about your next steps.”

Applications for the 2023/24 academic year are now open and students looking to start sooner can also explore a number of courses and programs that begin this year, in January or throughout 2023. Individuals can learn more and apply online at www.okanagan.bc.ca/apply. 

Okanagan College offers more than 150 programs, spanning Arts, Business, Continuing Studies, Health and Social Development, Science and Technology, and Trades and Apprenticeship. 

Ask the college about Upgrading to meet pre-requisites for your program of choice. 

Explore Okanagan College’s world-class new Health Sciences Centre that opened to students just last year, its award-winning Trades Training Centre and the many other cutting-edge learning environments on campus.
