Why self-identify?
KPU has a stated commitment to developing meaningful partnerships, pedagogical approaches, program offerings and student services to better meet the distinctive needs of all Indigenous peoples. By self-identifying as part of your official student record, you will assist KPU with the tracking of university participation and completion rates for Indigenous students and our overall strategic goals of providing a learning environment that is accessible and responsive to the needs of Indigenous students and our Indigenous communities.
Who can self-identify?
