In Ontario, most think of a college as a different type of post secondary education. But universities also have colleges. At York, a college is a community of students, professors and college Fellows, administrative support staff and facilities. Your college will make university life clearer and easier for you by helping you access campus services, social activities and academic help related to your area of interest. All full-time undergrads are automatically assigned to one of York's nine colleges. More>>

The Community Arts Practice (CAP) certificate gets students out of the classroom and into the community. Offered jointly by the Faculty of Environmental Studies and the Faculty of Fine Arts, the certificate promotes community involvement and environmentalism.

York graduates with the CAP certificate will be prepared to work in community organizations, art agencies, environmental groups, artist-run spaces and for international community development agencies.

You can take the CAP certificate as part of any four-year undergraduate degree program at York. Once enrolled in your undergraduate program, you will declare your interest in the CAP certificate during your second year.

To take the program as a direct-entry student, you need to apply to the University through the Office of Admissions and then submit an application to the certificate program through either the Faculty of Environmental Studies or the Faculty of Fine Arts. The application process will include an interview and a writing exercise.

While the Accolade Project has lots of great new facilities for York students and the community, its halls and walls are graced by works from contemporary artists.

One piece, titled “Air Dog”, is a mosaic created by York Visual Arts professor Michael Davey in collaboration with his pet dog, Angus. Angus and Davey live on the Toronto Islands where Angus (a 12-year-old terrier) loves to collect balls of all shapes and sizes. Faced with an ever-growing collection of balls, Davey created this fun mosaic/sculpture for the lobby of the new Accolade East building.
