SOBE Student Services also has a staff of skilled academic advisors who can help students with program and course selection; determining a career path after graduation; or information on special program options like service learning, cooperative education, or completing an honours degree.
Campus life
Located in the Sahali area on the city’s southwest slopes, TRU is walking distance from commercial districts and residential areas, and next door to Kamloops’ largest recreational facility, Tournament Capital Centre. A wide variety of outdoor adventures and cultural events are minutes away, year-round.
We view accreditation and the accreditation process as a validation of our quality. Thompson Rivers University was approved as a Candidate for Accreditation in August 2016 by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).
