Student Self-Identification – Frequently Asked Questions

Indigenous Self-Identification

RRC Polytech is committed to providing services to support First Nations (Status/Non-Status), Métis and Inuit student achievement and success. If you are a First Nations (Status/Non-Status), Métis or Inuit student, we encourage you to self-identify.

Self-identification helps:

  • Improve and enhance Indigenous programming and services
  • Connect learners with funding opportunities through bursaries and scholarships
  • Improve connections with Indigenous communities

Self-identification is voluntary and confidential. All collected information is confidential and will not be shared, as outlined in the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The information will only be used to help us provide relevant support, services and resources.

You will not need to produce any documentation unless you apply for an Indigenous-specific academic program or funding.
