“ When considering which universities to apply to, I had a definite attraction to Accounting programs with small class sizes. Some universities had up to 800 students in their Accounting programs. I definitely feel that my academic success at Nipissing can be attributed to smaller classes (there were 13 in my Accounting class), and more individualized attention from professors.”

Your career options are limitless.

QQSTUDENT UNION, CLUBS AND EVENTS

QQHEALTH AND DENTAL PLAN

Students at both the North Bay and Muskoka campuses are members of the Nipissing University Student Union (NUSU), which is a part of The Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). 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.

Exclusively through NUSU and “We Speak Student”, a new flexible insurance program called “Speakup” is automatically provided to all full-time students who have paid the student activity fee. You can choose one of three flex plans designed to best suit your needs. To view a complete benefit summary for each of the plans offered, visit www.wespeakstudent.com

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. More information about NUSU can be found at www.nipissingu.ca/nusu
