Declaring Your Ancestry

You do not need to self-declare your ancestry here if you have already done so on your application for admission.

We encourage all current Aboriginal students to self-identify their ancestry. Voluntarily disclosing your Aboriginal ancestry is important for several reasons:

It allows us to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all our Aboriginal learners and Aboriginal communities
It gives us the ability to make students aware of the support services that we offer.
It helps us improve existing services or develop new support services.
It allows us to keep track of the enrolment, retention and completion rates of Aboriginal learners (informs our support service effectiveness).

Aboriginal is defined as anyone who identifies themselves as First Nation (status and non-status), Metis and/or Inuit. Please take 2 minutes to fill out the form below and note that this is strictly voluntary.
