North Vancouver and Great Vancouver in general are extremely ethnically and culturally diverse, and the residents have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind. 

The city is a melting pot of cultures, with vibrant festivals such as the Persian celebration of Nowruz, the German Christmas market and the Chinese New Year festival illuminating the city with food, performances and people from around the globe. The residents welcome new people with open hearts, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex or gender.

In general, Vancouver is one of the safest cities in the world but you should always be aware of what’s happening around you.

Enrolling for a course at RPI College is easy and can be done either in person at the college or online through our website. Whichever way you choose, you can rely on our help with ensuring that you have chosen the right course and that all your questions are answered.

Students should aim to attend all lessons. Where possible, students are requested to notify reception or the teacher in advance if they are going to be absent.

If they are absent for more than three consecutive sessions, they will be contacted for welfare reasons by the Office Manager, who will check registers on a daily basis.

If a student misses more than ten days of their course during a term, they will be required to meet with the Director of Studies to discuss the reasons for their absence.

If you are not feeling well on the day of a class or cannot attend for any other reason, please contact the college and explain your absence to us and when you expect to return.

Students are reminded that this option should be used in exceptional circumstances and that all absence should be pre-booked, where possible.
