Office of Future Students
We’re here to answer your questions about becoming a student at VIU.
How to connect
We can talk with you in-person or on the phone. We're also available by email or Teams.
You can speak with a Recruiter in person at the Nanaimo campus in Building 255, second floor (Nanaimo campus map)
You can schedule an appointment or drop in during office hours:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 am to 3 pm
Thursday from 11 am to 3 pm
Important Notice: All appointment bookings are based on Pacific Time (PCT) starting November 1. Please keep your personal computer and phone settings up to date to ensure accuracy. We have been experiencing technical issues with our booking system due to the time zone changes for the province of British Columbia. We may need to adjust appointment times for accuracy; we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
For more information see the BC Government time zone notice.
Another great way to connect is to attend an information session.

All Recruiters are proud former students who can help you find your best fit for university studies. We can also direct you to all the services you need to succeed. We look forward to connecting with you.
