Students just like you choose Nipissing because of its friendly atmosphere and commitment to providing a personalized undergrad experience. No matter which Nipissing campus you call home, you will benefit from small class sizes, access to supportive professors, and if you are interested, the opportunity to assist with faculty research as an undergrad student. What may be most surprising is the amount of learning that will happen outside the classroom. University is so much more than classes, books, and studies. You will decide what shape your life will take, and will have easy access to all the support systems you need.

Q Q NORTH BAY CAMPUS

Q Q MUSKOKA CAMPUS

Q Q BRANTFORD CAMPUS

Nipissing’s main campus in North Bay is located on a stunning 291 hectares of Canadian Shield forest and is only 3.5 hours north of Toronto or 4 hours west of Ottawa. With our focus on student-centred living and learning, you will feel a sense of community the moment you step on campus. With more than 60 percent of our students coming from out of town, everyone is eager to get to know each other and make new life-long friendships.

Our beautiful, modern campus in Bracebridge is located in Jubilee Park within close walking distance to all the stores and restaurants you will need. This safe and friendly campus is just a two hour drive from Toronto, North Bay, Sudbury and GreyBruce, and is within an hour of Barrie, Orillia and the Parry Sound area. The campus offers full- or part-time studies toward a Bachelor of Arts degree in three different subjects: Arts and Culture; Child and Family Studies; and Liberal Arts.

Whether you are into the arts, exploring the outdoors or socializing with friends at any of our local restaurants, check out the City’s website to get an idea of what there is to see and do in North Bay: www.cityofnorthbay.ca

Classes at the Muskoka Campus are small and personalized so it’s no surprise that the success and satisfaction of our students is so high.

Located in Southwestern Ontario, our Brantford campus is home to a joint Laurier-Nipissing Concurrent Education Program. Through the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing, the education component provides an extensive skill set that will prepare you to teach, or work outside the traditional classroom environment. You will be qualified for jobs where organizational skill, working with children, adults or diverse groups of people, and co-operative learning and team building are key. Our education buildings have the latest technology to meet your academic needs. You will have access to student life at two institutions – both offer terrific academic and social activities for students.

To make getting around a breeze, a City of North Bay transit pass is included in all full-time student incidental fees. For more detailed information visit www.cityofnorthbay.ca/cityhall/ department/transit/schedules.asp

Muskoka’s scenery is amazing. You will find lots to do, whether you are a foodie, an arts lover, or an explorer of the great outdoors. For more info on all that Bracebridge has to offer, visit http://theheartofmuskoka.com

The Brantford community has much to offer: museums; cultural attractions; scenic trails; recreational facilities; and all kinds of dining and entertainment options. To see all that awaits you, check out the City of Brantford at: www.discoverbrantford.com

Both organizations strive to organize students democratically, provide a communication framework, and lobby for legislative change on issues that affect students. As an elected board, NUSU executives and delegates represent all

Nipissing students and provide a full range of services (financial and academic), activities and political advocacy to improve your student experience. While the executive team carries out the day-to-day operations of the union, much of the decision making is in the hands of you the student.

Health and Dental Plan

The A-Team is a group of Nipissing students who are dedicated to informing the student body of pressing issues that directly affect students. Issues range from health and safety to encouraging leadership and include addressing alcohol and drug use, human rights, sexual health, reducing tuition fees, violence, and discrimination, among many others.
