Who must attend?

Every student must attend the Welcome Orientation for their CURRENT program.

This applies regardless of when you started at SELC, how long you have been studying with us, or whether this is your first or second SELC program.

⚠️ If you attended an orientation for a PREVIOUS program, you are still required to attend the orientation for your CURRENT program.

The only exception is if you have already attended the Welcome Orientation for the program you are currently taking.

🕙 10:00 AM
📍 SELC College – 1155 West Pender Street, Vancouver

 

⏰ Registration Deadline: Thursday, September 17 at 5:00 PM

Please remember: Completing the registration form is not an indication of interest or an RSVP. By registering, you are confirming that you WILL attend the mandatory orientation.

👉 REGISTER FOR MANDATORY ORIENTATION

The Welcome Orientation is an important part of your SELC experience. You will receive essential information about your program, academic expectations, College policies, student services, resources, activities, benefits, and the support available to you.

We look forward to seeing you this Friday!

🎉 NEW: SELC STUDENT RECOGNITION PROGRAM 🎉 

At SELC College, we believe hard work deserves to be seen, recognized, and celebrated. 

Beginning September 18, 2026, we will recognize two outstanding students each month through our new SELC Student Recognition Program. 

🥇 1st Place – SELC Student of the Month 

In partnership with WestTrek, the winner will receive: 

  • 1-Day Whistler Adventure Tour for one person 

  • Framed SELC award certificate 

  • Recognition on the SELC Student Recognition Wall 

  • Student spotlight on SELC social media and/or Moodle, with permission 

  • SELC-branded item, when available

  • Framed SELC award certificate 

  • Recognition on the SELC Student Recognition Wall 

  • Social media and/or Moodle recognition, with permission

How are students recognized? 

Students may be nominated for: 

  • Academic Excellence 

  • Attendance Excellence – minimum 98% attendance 

  • Student Ambassador 

  • Outstanding Co-op Student 

  • Community Volunteer 

  • Leadership 

  • Campus Spirit 

And remember: Academic Excellence is not only about having the highest grades. 

Exceptional improvement counts too. 

A student who works hard, stays committed, and improves significantly over time may be just as deserving of recognition. 

Consistency Matters 

Each award will be based on the student's performance, effort, improvement, attendance, leadership, professionalism, and contribution over the previous two full calendar months. 

For our first awards on September 18, we will recognize achievements demonstrated during July and August 2026. 

Students do not nominate themselves. Nominations are submitted by SELC instructors and campus staff based on what they observe in the classroom, on campus, during activities, and in co-op. 

So keep showing up. 

Keep improving. 

Keep helping others. 

Keep participating. 

Keep leading. 

Keep giving your best. 

We see your effort. 
We see your progress. 
We see your consistency. 
Your hard work is seen. 

Good luck to all our SELC students! 🌟
