Alumni Ambassador Program
Consider working with the admissions/recruitment team and join the Alumni Ambassador Program. This program utilizes alumni from other regions to help with events that admissions staff are unable to travel to. Stipend provided.
The admissions team also loves to feature alumni in their "what are our grads doing now" section. Share what you're doing with prospective students.
Contact the admissions team for more information at admissions@columbiabc.edu or (604) 853-3358.
Enrichment Courses
Consider taking enrichment courses at CBC. Update your information on a particular subject, learn new information or skills, or take one of the many helpful courses that weren't there or you weren't able to take when you were at CBC. Enrichment course registration starts in August for Fall (Sep-Dec) semester and December for Spring (Jan-Apr) semester. Cost: $100 if taking only one enrichment (non-credit) course, $300 for each enrichment (non-credit) course if taking more than one, and full course price if you want credit.
Contact Admissions for more information at admission@columbiabc.edu.
A "post-basic" discount is available to any graduated ECE student from CBC. Contact Gwen Reese for more information at gwen.reese@columbiabc.edu.
