FUTURE STUDENTS
University life
Make the most of your university experience by trying new activities, making new friends and building relationships that open doors to new opportunities. Along the way, you’ll find that being a student is more than what happens in the classroom.
Immerse yourself fully in university life when you cheer on the mighty Griffins, participate in a drumming demonstration, travel abroad with the Model UN student club, volunteer for a cause you’re passionate about and so much more.

A welcoming campus
A supportive environment outside the classroom helps you perform your best in the classroom and contributes to your personal, social and emotional well-being.
