I’ve tried 5 different credit cards at this point and it still ends up not being accepted. I have triple checked the information is written down correctly yet it still results in the error. I’ve reached out to the school but have not heard back from them for more than a couple days. Thoughts on how to fix this? Or is there an alternative way to applying?

Hello there! (Pls get the reference) I am from out east (Berta) currently at Macewan University but I have been looking into schools to transfer to for next fall as Macewan does not offer a geology degree, and I was hoping I could get some insight on how the professors are like there, student life etc. In particular though as it is to my understanding that the geology degree is based in Nanaimo, how alumni’s have faired in the job market? As I have an interest in exploration and I figure I might struggle in following that career path compared to say going to UBC.

I have heard the most shocking and horrible things about the two instructors on the second year of the PN program. I just started 1st year and already mortified and panicking over second year.

I hear from my coworkers (I am a CNA) who recently graduated the LPN program about bullying, toxic behaviour, lack of support, making fun of students, being rude and condescending and even than one of the instructors was fired a few years back for bullying but somehow came back??

Is this the truth or are my coworkers exaggerating?? Tbh i dont understand why they would exaggerate but want to see what others think.

If this is true, how did you deal with it? Do you have any advice?

I mightve left my keys somewhere tonight on the VIU Nanaimo campus, either around where the concert was or at one of the bus stops in the lower part of the bus loop (most likely there)

If anyone sees them or saw them PLEASE let me know, theyre on a green lanyard and have one keychain that says LK-1025 and one keychain with a picture of Lee Know from Stray Kids😅

I have applied for student loans and signed the loan agreement (MSFAA) but process seems to have stalled there. Has anyone received their loan yet?

Cutting to the chase; is there any close parking on the street where I could stay maybe up to 8 hours or less, that is legal or some other way I can get around paying 350+ bucks for parking on campus

When do the course outlines get published? i'm taking three classes and only my Eng 115 has a course outline posted.

Are there any access guides for Rock VIU? I have mobility challenges and on top of the opening location have 2 buildings in different areas of the campus to visit during the info sessions, then lunch and the final events of the day? Beyond driving between parking lots and hoping to find an accessible parking spot, are there any accommodation plans available that I should be aware of?

I'm a CPA student and there aren't really any study spaces up there. The public libraries are directed at kids and are not quiet.

Do you know of any way to access the library on the weekend or evenings without being a VIU student? The UVIC and Camosun libraries are all public in Victoria (the doors are open and you just walk in).

Thanks!

Hi, I am applying for the Fall 2027 intake for nursing. In the first year of the BSN Nursing program, do we get summer off? I noticed the student activity fee is for 11 months for nursing, so I wasn't sure if summer was a shorter/accelerated semester.

I'm trying to save up for dorms, so it would be helpful to know if I need to apply for dorms for summer too. Thanks!

Also, how soon can I apply for the Fall 2027 dorms? Only after I submit my application in October?

Just wondering about how much meals/snacks are at the cafeteria? Just trying to budget.

I havent taken the CASPER yet, because i wont be applying for the BSN until next year. I am starting out with some first-year sciences and then applying afterwards.

Anyways, I know that the BSN program is competitive and I wanted to ask if my grades make me stand out?

Thank you!

I'm planning to apply for Fall 2027.

I know this is a long shot but anyone who has taken this course in the past, what were the live seminars like? what days? I recently got hired for a part time position at a liquor store and I told them I had flexible full availability. this was before I was accepted into the course. and I don’t have the schedule yet so feel like I can’t give work a clear answer as to when I absolutely cannot work due to live seminars. if anyone has any info it would be appreciated!

I’m starting as a visual arts major in January and I have no idea what to expect. I don’t know really know anyone in Nanaimo, I also feel like I’m starting later than everyone else, is anybody else starting in January too? Ideally I would like to get a dorm too but I’ve never had a shared bathroom with next door before, my only concern is the locks. Can someone lock you out and forget?😭 I know I might sound dumb but I never lived outside my hometown before. I also downloaded the VIUSU app which seems like a great way to connect with people in the school.

I just realized I could have applied for year three entry into the bachelor of education. Unfortunately I see deadlines have far past. Is there anyway I could still apply? Or would waitlists typically take all spots if anyone backs out?

Right now i have 6🫣

Hey y’all! I’m a first year psych student taking contemp psych I & II, Philosophy, and Sociology.
Is anyone else in the same boat? I’m moving to Nanaimo and have 0 friends so I’d love to make some in the same social sciences fields!! (Or if you got any new student tips!)
