Uni X

Find IB CAS opportunities in Canada worth doing. Made for school students by a student. Turn an experience into a project. Keep the evidence and reflections that matter.

CAS means Creativity, Activity and Service. An experience may support one or more CAS strands. Your school decides what counts, so check with your CAS coordinator before starting.

IB CAS opportunities in Canada

Creativity. Activity. Service.

CAS has three strands. An experience may support one or more of them, depending on what you actually do and how your school recognises it.

Creativity

Create, design, perform or develop ideas through an experience that matters to you.

Activity

Take on physical experiences that challenge you and support your wellbeing.

Service

Contribute to a community or cause through meaningful action and collaboration.

CAS and Canadian school requirements are not the same thing

CAS is an IB Diploma Programme requirement. Provincial graduation and career-learning requirements are separate, even when the same experience could be useful in more than one context.

Ontario

Ontario students need 40 hours of community involvement for the OSSD. Your school board and principal determine eligibility and how those hours are recorded. That is separate from your school's IB CAS process.

British Columbia

BC Career-Life Connections includes 30 or more hours of substantive career-life exploration and can include volunteerism among several forms of experiential learning. It is not the same programme as IB CAS.

CAS experience or CAS project?

They are not automatically the same thing. An activity or experience may support one or more CAS strands, while a CAS project has additional expectations around planning, collaboration, reflection and learning.

Find it. Do it. Keep it. Use it.

Find something meaningful. Do the work. Keep the moments and evidence that matter. Use them when you reflect on CAS or later when you need to tell the story of what you did.

Questions students ask

Are Uni X activities CAS-approved?

No. Uni X helps you find current opportunities. Your school decides whether an experience is suitable for CAS.

Can an experience support more than one CAS strand?

It may. An experience can involve Creativity, Activity, Service or a combination. Your school and CAS coordinator decide how it fits your programme.

Should I ask my CAS coordinator first?

Yes. Check before relying on an activity for CAS.

What should I keep after the activity?

Useful evidence, moments and reflections that help you remember what you did, contributed and learned.
