Student for a Day
A number of the Post Secondary institutes offer the opportunity for you to go and be a student for the day in a program that you are interested in. Check out their websites for more information or speak to your counselor in Students Services. This is an excellent opportunity to get a real hands on experience and to ask already enrolled students questions.

Advisors at M.E
Currently Grant MacEwan, The University of Alberta and Nait all have advisors that come into the school. They help with the application process and may even meet with you one on one. For upcoming dates please check with Students Services.
