Information Sessions

Two information sessions are held each year in the spring term.

The first is a combined session that includes:

• Forestry
• Fisheries & Aquaculture
• RMOT (Resource Management Officer Technology)

The format of the session is that a general overview presents what the 3 programs have in common. Then each program provides a short (15 minute) overview of their program. This is followed by questions from the audience. Finally, prospective students can speak directly with any of the presenters.

This year the session was held on Feb 27, 2012 at 6:00 - 8:00 pm on the Nanaimo campus in building 355 in room 203 (see "Getting here" section below).
