Choosing an Academic Program:

• Most first-time university students are not sure what their career will turn out to be so few have a definite major in mind.
• Usually young people are still developing self-awareness and are discovering what field of study would fit their personality and talents.
• Both UNBC Colleges request you declare a major only after completing 30 credit hours of study – typically the start of the student’s second year.
• Degree Programs

 

 

 

 

Tips for Offering Long Distance Support

• Remember: While you may be constantly worrying about your child’s diet, accommodations, and friends, they will be missing the support of family and friends.
• There are ways to make your fledgling student feel as if you are not that far away - letters or cards for special occasions or just for laughs; a surprise phone call; and “care packages” are a connection to home.
• Early in the first term, the novelty of being at university will wear off.  Hearing from home around midterms and finals can help a student refocus and re-energize.
• December is a stressful month for new students writing often their first university exams.  Getting some well-timed encouragement can help your daughter or son keep going as she or he plows through notes and late night studying.
