Class Cancellations

Has my class been cancelled?

Check your mykwantlen and other email accounts for possible class cancellation updates from your instructors. Campus closure notification for students in classes will be made through instructors.

Campus Closures

For announcements regarding the status of campus opening/closing, due to serious inclement weather conditions or other situations, updates will be made using the following processes in the following order:

Visit mykwantlen.ca
The website will be the most accurate and up-to-date information source. In times of need, a graphic labeled "Current Campus Status & Alerts" will be placed on the kwantlen.ca homepage at the top of the existing left side column labeled "Important Information". Click on this graphic for campus status and alert information.

Call Kwantlen's switchboard
Call 604.599.2100 for campus status updates.

Listen to Radio/TV News
There is often a delay with radio and TV media outlets announcing updates as they are inundated with many requests from police, K-12 schools, post-secondary schools, and other organizations, and they control if and when these updates are announced.
