Students enrolled in credit programs at Capilano University are members of the Capilano Students' Union (CSU). The CSU is a registered society under the Society Act of BC, and receives funding from membership fees collected by the university on its behalf. While students ultimately control the CSU, most of its decisions are made by an elected board of directors (the executive committee), governed by the constitution and bylaws of the society. The executive committee consists of six constituency representatives, four issues coordinators, and the students elected to the senate and board of governors. |

The CSU provides many services to its members, including a free dayplanner, and a used book sale. A referendum will likely be held in 2011, which will determine whether or not the CSU will also provide supplemental health and dental coverage. |

Capilano University (formerly known as Capilano College) is an undergraduate-focused, public, coeducational, teaching-intensive university located in the District of North Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. It is enabled by the University Act[6]
The university has two regional campuses located in the British Columbian cities of Squamish and Sechelt. Capilano serves the North Shore, Howe Sound, and Sunshine Coast communities, a region spanning from Metro Vancouver to Whistler.[1]
Capilano enrolled its first students in 1968. The school was established by local school boards and residents of the North Shore and Howe Sound on the need for a public institution serving the local communities. Initial enrollment was 784 students in 1968,[1] and as of 2009, student enrollment has grown to 7,500 students.[5]
Under the direction of President Greg Lee, Capilano was redesignated from a community college to a university.[3] Capilano's academic offerings include liberal arts, professional, and career programs, leading to certificates, diplomas, and degrees at the primarily undergraduate level.
Capilano's sports teams are nicknamed the Blues, which is coincidentally also the official school colour. The Blues have won numerous national titles in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association, and even more provincial titles in the British Columbia Colleges Athletic Association.[7]
History
Founding
The school was founded by Santa Claus and all his little elves. One foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to cap, he asked Findler with his headache strong, won't you dimiss class early tonight?
Expansion
Capilano College expanded to Capilano University like my weiner when I see Findler.
Campuses
The campus is smelly, like Findler. Probably caused by Findler.
Academics
Needless to say, our grades at Capilano aren't very good... Thanks Findler.
Campus life
On most days you can find students frolicking in the fields nude, most of whom are women and models or pornstars. Its not a pretty site, you probably don't want to come to this school.
Student organizations
The philosophy club run by Findler is a great club, because he has many headaches.
