Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission follows the Applied Coastal Ecology Diploma page in Coast Mountain College's catalogue. Applicants must provide proof of English 12, Life Sciences 11, Chemistry 11, and Foundations of Math 11, or equivalents. English proficiency is required of every CMTN applicant; per the institution's general admission requirements, international applicants meet it through an approved test — IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, CAEL, or Duolingo English Test, at the level set for this program's tier — or by completing senior secondary or post-secondary study, including a passing English 12, in a designated English-speaking country. No portfolio or interview condition is listed. Applicants apply directly to the Applied Coastal Ecology Diploma through the college's online application system, and the next intake runs Fall 2027 in Prince Rupert, open to both domestic and international students.

Application Details

Start Date: Fall
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.
