The recruitment team focuses on attracting students to VIU as a first-choice university while ensuring VIU is the right fit for the student. We discuss programs, admission requirements, student housing options, meal plans, tuition, recreation and athletic opportunities, parking options, general questions about university life, and many other questions about becoming or being a student at Vancouver Island University.
