Where Selkirk College Students Find Important Dates, Events, and Student Supports

Updated

Selkirk College students can find all three in one place: the selkirk.ca homepage. The Important Dates link covers exams and college closures, the Events calendar lists everything from music faculty concerts to campus welcome events, and the Student Life & Support entry point leads to student services and Athletics & Recreation. Use this guide if you are a current or incoming student trying to plan around deadlines, attend events, or locate support services.

Important Dates: Exams and College Closures

The homepage includes an Important Dates section described as covering "Exams, college closures and more," with a View All Dates link to the full list.

  • What it covers: exam periods and campus closures, plus related scheduling information.
  • How to use it: check it before booking travel, planning work shifts, or scheduling appointments near the end of term.
  • Expected result: you can see at a glance when the college is closed or when exams fall, so you avoid conflicts.

The homepage excerpt does not list specific dates, so open the full dates page for the current term rather than relying on the summary text.

Events: What's on and Where

The homepage events calendar shows dated listings with time and location. Examples visible in the page content include:

Event Date and time Location
Music Faculty Concert Oct 19, 7:30pm–10pm Nelson Tenth Street
Hospitality & Tourism Info Session Oct 20, 2pm–3pm Online
Elders on Campus Oct 21, 10am–1pm Castlegar
Cultural Connections: Trail Oct 21, 11am–1pm Trail

A View All Events link opens the full calendar. Events span multiple campuses (Nelson, Castlegar, Trail) and online sessions, so check the location before you plan to attend.

The homepage also highlights Get Connected 2026, described as an event to explore your campus, learn about services, meet college staff, connect with friends, and share a meal — a practical starting point for new students at the beginning of term.

Student Supports and Services

The homepage groups student resources under Information for... and Student Life & Support, alongside Athletics & Recreation and Connect With Us. These are the entry points for:

  • student services and campus supports
  • athletics and recreation programming
  • general contact and connection options

The excerpt does not detail individual support services, so treat these as navigation starting points and follow the links for specifics.

Info Sessions: A Bridge Between Programs and Support

If you are still choosing a program, the homepage's Join an Info Session section offers free virtual sessions where you can learn about programs and ask questions. Upcoming sessions named on the page include Contemporary Music and Technology, Plant Operator, Hospitality and Tourism, Digital Fabrication and Design, Health Care Assistant, Practical Nursing, Nursing Unit Clerk, and Digital Arts. A Find a Session link leads to the schedule.

This matters for planning: an info session can answer program questions before you commit, while the Important Dates and Events pages help you manage the term once you enroll.
