METRO VANCOUVER, BC - (September 7, 2011) - Kwantlen Polytechnic University is advising students that the annual Cram Jam event organized by the Kwantlen Student Association (KSA) has not received the approvals required from the City of Surrey that would enable the event to take place on the Surrey campus.

The University wishes to inform students, staff and parents and the community that this off-campus event is not a university sanctioned event.
