Welcome to CapU. Here’s where you can find out about the programs, supports and services for Indigenous students at Capilano University.

We’re looking forward to you joining our community and want you to feel at home with us. If you are of First Nations, Inuit or Métis ancestry, Indigenous Student Services is here to help and support you.

Kéxwusm-áyakn Student Centre 

Our student centre is a safe space for students of First Nations, Inuit and Métis ancestry.

It provides hope and opportunity, drawing people together from all nations to put their minds and spirits together to see what future can be made for the First Peoples of this land and for all members of creation.

It also provides a place where individuals can learn about Indigenous traditions, language and values, enhancing their understanding of both themselves and others.

This is where Indigenous Student Services is based, and where you’ll find lots of resources and help. Visit the Kéxwusm-áyakn Student Centre page to learn more about this welcoming space.
