It documents and highlights your participation in almost 600 unique, exciting and outcomes-based learning opportunities including: • essential skill development training and workshops • volunteer opportunities • leadership positions • governance roles • work-study positions • research assistant roles • and much more! The CCR will enhance your resume, scholarship applications, and academic and career portfolios.

I chose it for its reputation, but I struggled. My lectures could have up to 1200 students. My grades fell, and I no longer enjoyed attending classes. I seriously questioned whether I belonged in university. When I came to UFV, I planned to stay only long enough to complete a certificate. But I realized that I actually like learning. Everything is more personal at UFV, like how the professors know my name after the first week, and getting involved is simple. So I’ve transferred into the degree program. — DELANEY MINOR 36 UFV + YOU VIEWBOOK 2016/17 37 98 % UFV degree graduates satisfied with the education they received 94 % UFV graduates who would recommend UFV to others 99 % 95 % UFV graduates satisfied with their decision to attend UFV Based on the 2015 Canadian University Consortium Survey and the 2014 Baccalaureate Graduates Survey, Province of British Columbia 38 UFV + YOU UFV degree graduates satisfied with the quality of instruction GET MORE INFORMATION You’ve got questions.
