Canadian Virtual University sets stage for growth

For immediate release


Policy changes approved at the last Canadian Virtual University (CVU) Board of Directors’ meeting will result in even greater course and program selection for learners searching for accredited Canadian distance education.
 
The Board unanimously agreed that other Canadian universities with distance programs similar to existing programs may now add their offerings to the current catalogue of 250 programs and 2000 courses. Previously, only universities with complementary programs were eligible for membership.

“This change paves the way for expansion of our course and program catalogue, which will attract new learners,” commented President Denis Mayer. “The change also benefits other universities seeking to promote their programs nationally and looking for greater course selection for their own students.”

CVU will also add noncredit distance programs to its catalogue at www.cvu-uvc.ca.  For example, certificates in Quality Management; Human Resource Management; Nursing Leadership;  Library Studies; and Health, Safety and Environmental processes will serve the growing demand for online professional development.

Members of Canadian Virtual University are Athabasca University, Laurentian University, Memorial University, Nipissing University, Télé-université du Québec, Thompson Rivers University, University of Cape Breton,  University of Manitoba, and University of New Brunswick.
