The Benefits…
Open House 2010 benefits visitors in many ways:
Awareness
Unlike an off-campus Open House, Expo allows programs to display everything they have to offer. Prospective students can get a real sense of the college environment.
Access
Instead of just reading about the College in a brochure, visitors can see the campus and interact with students and staff.
Decision-Making
Surveys completed by post-secondary students across North America indicate a campus visit is one of the most important factors in their decision-making process. A first-hand look can help prospective students determine their ‘fit’ with the campus and academic programs.
The Format…
Getting Started
Plan your visit by checking out the program areas participating at each campus so that you ensure that you visit the applicable campus.
If you are a school who is bussing in for this event, be sure to register for Open House prior to January 29, 2010.

Check out who will be there to see which program areas will be at which campus. This is your opportunity to ask specific questions to those representatives and learn more about these programs. Many of the exhibitors will have interactive activities for you to participate in earning you a stamp on your Passport! Each stamp represents an entry into a draw for prizes!
