Open Houses:

There are Open Houses (and Information Sessions) happening in the upcoming weeks at universities across Nova Scotia and beyond.

An Open House is an opportunity for prospective students to explore what a particular campus has to offer; you learn about programs, class sizes, have questions answered and meet faculty.

In other years, you could actually attend an Open House in person, but due to current circumstances, they are being offered virtually this year.

Often at an Open House, you may be able to apply for early admissions and some schools will waive their application fee! So you can apply for free and make your decision later about which school you want to attend.

 You usually have to sign up for these ahead of time. Please see the Information about Open Houses and Other Post Secondary Information Sessions listed below: 

• Students who would like to attend University of New Brunswick in the Fall are asked to sign up at unb.ca/futurestudents for either a Virtual Tour or a Live Chat.

• St Francis Xavier University : Information Video for Students considering STFX Click HERE.

• NSCC Open House From Tuesday, March 23^rd to Friday, March 26^th

NSCC will be hosting virtual information sessions showcasing their programs by area of interest as well as sessions on Student Awards, Career Services, and How to Apply. Attendance at any of these sessions will earn you a free application*.

Register today on the NSCC Open House website

*Please note: you must use the same email address to apply that was used to register for your session to be eligible for NSCC to waive your application fee. The deadline to apply for free  is April 6, 2021, at 11:59 pm. If you have a current application at NSCC, you should not apply again – applications are assessed in date order and you can only have one application on file. Submitting a new application will replace your old one, including your application date.
