How to Join a Selkirk College Information Session

Prospective students can join a free virtual Selkirk College information session by finding a session for their program of interest on selkirk.ca and registering through the session listing. Sessions are held online, and the college lists upcoming sessions covering programs such as Contemporary Music and Technology, Plant Operator, Hospitality and Tourism, Digital Fabrication and Design, Health Care Assistant, Practical Nursing, Nursing Unit Clerk, and Digital Arts. The sessions are described as an opportunity to learn about programs and ask questions.

What an Information Session Offers

An information session is a live, online event where you can hear about a specific program and put questions to the college. According to the college's site, the sessions are free and virtual, and they are aimed at people who want to learn about programs before applying or deciding.

The value is in the direct exchange: instead of reading program pages alone, you can ask about the things that matter to your situation, such as what a program covers, what the schedule looks like, or what to expect next. The site does not publish a detailed agenda for each session, so treat the program overview and your own questions as the core of the hour.

Find the Right Session

The college groups its upcoming sessions on a single "Find a Session" listing reached from the information session section of the site. The sessions named on the homepage at the time of writing were:

To find a session:

1. Go to selkirk.ca and locate the information session section (the homepage links to it as "Join an Info Session").
2. Open "Find a Session" to see the current list.
3. Match the session to the program you are considering. If your program is not listed, check back later or use the college's general contact options to ask whether a session is planned.

Register and Prepare

Registration happens through the individual session listing. The site does not spell out a separate registration form or confirmation process in the material available, so follow the instructions on the session page itself.

Before the session, it helps to:

• Write down two or three specific questions about the program, such as admission expectations, delivery format, or what graduates typically do next.
• Check the session time and time zone. Listings show local times, for example "Oct 20, 2026, 2pm - 3pm" for the Hospitality & Tourism session.
• Test your connection and microphone if you plan to ask questions live.

Verify Before You Rely on a Date

Session dates and program lineups change. The homepage listed sessions in October 2026, including a Hospitality & Tourism session on October 20 and a Music Faculty Concert on October 19, but these are examples of what was posted, not a permanent schedule. Always confirm the date, time, and format on the "Find a Session" page before planning around it.

If a session you want is not currently listed, the college's news and events sections are the places to watch for new dates. The site also points to "Important Dates" for exams, college closures, and similar scheduling information, which is useful once you have applied.

Common Sticking Points

• No session for your program. The listed sessions cover a subset of programs. If yours is missing, ask the college directly rather than assuming one will appear.
• Time zone confusion. Times are shown in local BC time. If you are joining from elsewhere, convert before the session.
• Assuming sessions replace advising. A session gives you program information and a chance to ask questions; it is not a personalized assessment of your application. For decisions about your own eligibility, confirm with the college.
• Missing the registration step. Opening the listing is not the same as registering. Complete whatever sign-up the session page asks for so you receive the joining details.

Used well, an information session is a low-cost way to test whether a program fits before you commit to an application. Pick the session closest to your intended program, bring focused questions, and confirm the details on selkirk.ca shortly before the event.
