Student Society

The Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT) Student Society comprises all registered full- and part-time students. Membership in the Society commences at registration, upon payment of the membership fee, and ceases at the semester following the last semester of study. The Student Society works to protect students' rights and advocates for the interests of its members. The Society organizes social, recreational and cultural activities. An elected executive is composed of representatives from the various NVIT programs. The Society implements the work of the Student Society on behalf of all NVIT students. Executive members are also responsible for representing students in meetings with the NVIT and external community. Students elect program representatives each fall.
