Balance

Find the balance in your life. It may seem hard at first to balance work, school, exercise, friends, family and the other things important in your life, but it is do-able. If you are finding it difficult to find the balance, talk with an instructor, your trusted friend or someone in the Counselling or Advising department at VIU.

If you are taking full time studies (nine credits or more) you may wish to only work part time, not at all or on campus via Student Work Opportunity positions. Working more than 10 - 12 hours a week if you are enrolled in 15 credit hours per term, may put you at risk of being placed on academic probation.
