These drop-ins are short, casual, and useful between classes. For example, the next on-campus booth is scheduled for August 27, 11:30 a.m.–12:15 p.m., on the 2nd floor.

Let’s be honest: applying straight to a Canadian university can be a long, expensive road—especially if you’re still building English or want work experience along the way. 51本色 Degree Pathways flip that script: start here, earn credits + co-op experience, then jump into a partner university with advanced standing. Translation: less time, less tuition, more momentum.
