STUDENT LIFE
Being a student is a fun and challenging experience. It is the opportunity to learn, to grow and to build long lasting relationships. As a North Island College student, there are many things you will need to know to navigate your journey. CAMPUS LIFE ASSISTANT NIC’s campus life assistants are all about “students connecting with students.” Campus life assistants connect with students through a variety of activities and events throughout the year. Campus life assistants help with activities such as campus tours, community outreach, student contacts, mock interviews and may also help with NIC events such as Orientation Days, Information Nights, Career Fair and Open House.
Elections for the campus councils take place between September 15 and October 31 each year. All members of the Union are eligible to run for office and vote in the elections. Membership starts when your first course fees are paid and ends after the last term of registered study. Visit nisu.ca to learn more about upcoming events and campaigns, and how you can get involved on your campus and in your community.
