Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Associate of Science Degree page states the same secondary-credential threshold as Capilano's general admission standard: B.C. high school graduation (or equivalent) with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (60%) calculated across English Studies 12, English 12, or English First Peoples 12, plus two further academic Grade 12 courses. Applicants who completed their previous education in a language other than English must meet Capilano's general English-language proficiency requirement, published on the university's admission-requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6; TOEFL iBT 83 (or, from Spring 2027, 4.5 overall with no section below 4.0 on the redesigned scale); CAEL 70; PTE Academic 56; or Duolingo English Test 125+ with no sub-score below 115 (accepted on a temporary basis). No additional program-specific conditions (interview, portfolio, work experience) are listed for this degree.
Application Details
Start Date:January, May and September
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants both apply through EducationPlannerBC: the domestic application fee is $50 CAD and the international fee is $135 CAD, each covering up to two programmes. Capilano University publishes no university-wide application-opening or closing date for either group for the 2026-27 cycle; its how-to-apply pages instruct applicants to check the application and document deadlines on their chosen programme's own page, since every programme sets its own intake window there. Admission is effectively rolling at the institution level, governed programme by programme, with some programmes (for example the Health Care Assistant Certificate) publishing a fixed intake window that opens and closes months ahead of the start date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
