Capilano University - North Vancouver is formerly known as Capilano College. In 1964, the school boards of North and West Vancouver, Howe Sound and Sechelt formed a committee to determine the need for a community college to serve the North Shore. The proposal to build a college on the North Shore passed by a plebiscite in North and West Vancouver and the Howe Sound in 1967. However, the motion was defeated in Sechelt. The provincial government granted approval and Capilano College got its name selected from submissions made by North Shore residents. Capilano opened on September 10, 1968 with 784 students attending classes after hours at West Vancouver Secondary. The Capilano College Foundation was created in 1970 to provide scholarships and bursaries for students.
In 1970, construction began Capilano University - North Vancouver on the North Vancouver campus in the Lynnmour area. Three years later, the permanent North Vancouver campus opened with 1,965 students in attendance. The first vocational programs were offered in portable buildings brought from West Vancouver Secondary. The first permanent structure at Capilano University - North Vancouver campus, the original library building, also opened. In 1976, the Arbutus building at the North Vancouver campus opened, and the Fir building at the North Vancouver campus opened in 1982. In 1991, the Cedar building, the Sportsplex, and Horticulture building were completed. Two years later, a new library replaced the former at Capilano University - North Vancouver campus, tripling the size of existing library space. In 1996, The Birch building at the North Vancouver campus is completed, housing a performance theatre, classrooms, student services, and providing teaching space. The Child Care Centre also opened in the same year.
Capilano University - North Vancouver offered its first bachelor degree, a collaborative degree in music therapy with the B.C. Open University in 1990. A second music degree in jazz studies was offered by 1992. Business administration was offered in 1993. That year, Capilano also conferred its first associate degrees. Tourism management was added to degree offerings in 1997. Capilano University - North Vancouver was authorized by the provincial government in 2003 to become the first college in British Columbia to independently grant applied degrees after the dissolution of the B.C. Open University. Capilano was also named by the provincial government as host of the British Columbia Centre for Tourism Leadership and Innovation in 2004, in preparations for the 2010 Winter Olympics. In 2008, Capilano became a candidate for accreditation with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, joined the Open Course Ware consortium, and was redesignated as a university.
Students enrolled in credit programs at Capilano University - North Vancouver 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 day planner, 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.
