Quest University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Quest University was a liberal arts and sciences university in Squamish, British Columbia, but it suspended academic operations in April 2023. It suits only applicants who are looking for archival information or who need to confirm transfer, records, or closure details with the university’s official channels.

  2. What you can study

    The only programme listed is the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences at bachelor's degree level. The university’s academic operations have been suspended, so the current programme catalogue is not available for study planning and should be confirmed directly with the university or the relevant records office.

  3. Getting in

    Because academic operations have been suspended, normal application routes for new international students are not currently available. Anyone checking admission status, transcripts, or any transfer-related option should use the official university website and contact the admissions office or records office for the current process.

  4. What it costs

    A tuition fee is not published for current study because the university suspended academic operations. Living costs in Squamish and surrounding areas would still matter for anyone dealing with relocation or records visits, but current study-related fees should be confirmed directly with the admissions office.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university does not publish a language-of-instruction statement in the information available here. An international student should confirm whether any academic services are operating, whether records are accessible, and what documentation is needed for transcripts, transfer questions, or any remaining administrative request.

  6. How it compares

    Canada has 156 universities, and Quest University sits outside the normal comparison set for active applicants because it suspended academic operations in 2023. Compared with active Canadian universities, it is best treated as a closed institution with a very small academic footprint rather than a live study destination.
