Aboriginal

Our supportive and inclusive environment will allow you to succeed. 

We encourage all Aboriginal learners to self-identify their ancestry. Voluntarily disclosing your Aboriginal ancestry, either on your application for admission or by going to the voluntary self declaration webpage, is a means of creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for all our Aboriginal learners. Think of it as a process of coming together rather than singling out. It gives us the ability to make students aware of the support services that we offer as well as to ensure that Aboriginal students are adequately represented at Okanagan College.

As a part of Okanagan College’s commitment to enhancing the participation of Aboriginal learners, the College provides Aboriginal support services at each of the four campuses. Read on for more information and some helpful links.
