Program details

Overview

The University Credit program allows you to earn the first two years of a four-year bachelor's degree, register for a single course, or take professional development courses.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Coast Mountain College's University Credit Program page states that admission requirements are specific to each of its University Credit offerings (Associate of Arts and Associate of Science, including Archaeological & Cultural Resource Management, Criminology, First Nations, Sustainable Communities, and Environmental Geoscience specializations), directing applicants to the individual program pages for exact prerequisites. Applicants who only want to register for a single course must submit a transcript or other proof that they meet that course's own prerequisite. No admission GPA, portfolio, or interview condition is stated on this page. English proficiency is required of every applicant regardless of citizenship. International applicants who have not completed senior secondary education, including a pass in English 12, in a designated English-speaking country must present an approved test score, with minimums tiered by program: IELTS Academic overall 6.0 (bands 5.0-6.0), TOEFL iBT overall 72-80, PTE Academic overall 52-57, CAEL overall 50-60, or Duolingo English Test overall 105-115.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Coast Mountain College runs one common application calendar across its campuses rather than a single date per programme. Domestic applicants: for the 2026-27 academic year, applications opened 1 October 2026; the final day to apply is 24 December 2026 for Winter (January 2027) entry, 23 April 2027 for Spring/Summer 2027, and 30 August 2027 for Fall 2027. International applicants share the same opening date but face earlier cut-offs: 1 October 2026 for Winter, 1 February 2027 for Spring/Summer, and 1 June 2027 for Fall, and some high-demand programmes may close sooner. Trades and other varying-start programmes are judged against their own start dates (international due three months, domestic one week, before start), and continuous-intake programmes accept applications year-round. No single closing date exists beyond these cut-offs. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
