Requirements

Minimum GPA: 2.00 / %

Admission Requirements: Domestic entry follows Capilano's general Faculty of Arts & Sciences admission standard rather than a programme-specific one: BC secondary school graduation (Grade 12) or equivalent (BC Adult Dogwood or GED), with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (60%) calculated on English Studies 12, English 12, or English First Peoples 12 plus two other academic Grade 12 courses. International applicants need an equivalent secondary credential per Capilano's International Secondary School Equivalencies guide. Applicants educated in a language other than English must meet Capilano's English Language Requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (no band below 6), TOEFL iBT 83 (or 4.5 overall, no section below 4.0, on the redesigned scale for Spring 2027 and later), CAEL 70, PTE Academic 56, or Duolingo English Test 125+ (no sub-score below 115, accepted temporarily). The programme page states no additional prerequisite courses or portfolio.

Application Details

Start Date: Fall, Spring and Summer

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.
