Program details
Overview
This academic upgrading pathway prepares students for entry into university-level engineering studies by building foundational knowledge in chemistry, physics, English, and mathematics. The college sets out a recommended course combination for the strongest preparation, alongside a minimum combination for meeting baseline requirements, both spanning chemistry, physics, English, and math courses at the Grade 11 and 12 equivalent levels. It is delivered as individual upgrading courses rather than a fixed-length cohort programme, and while it is available through Coast Mountain College's campus network, the source page does not specify which campuses offer particular course combinations or set intake dates. Students apply through EducationPlannerBC and then work with an Educational Advisor, who helps assess their current academic level, discusses funding and support, and arranges registration in the appropriate courses. The pathway suits students planning to pursue an engineering degree elsewhere who have not yet completed the science, English, and math prerequisites those university programmes require, giving them a structured, advised route to reach that academic starting point.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Coast Mountain College's Pre-Engineering Pathway is course-placement based rather than credential-based: the program page lists CHEM 040/050, PHYS 040/0501, ENGL 050/055, and MATH 0501/0502 as the recommended preparation for best results, and CHEM 040, PHYS 040, ENGL 050/055, and MATH 0501/0502 as the acceptable minimum starting point; applicants who attended a BC high school can order transcripts through the provincial system to support placement. No portfolio, interview, or minimum GPA is stated. The program page itself does not state a standardized English-language test requirement or score; English proficiency otherwise follows Coast Mountain College's institution-wide requirement for every applicant. Prospective students are directed to apply through Education Planner BC and to work with an Educational Advisor on goals and support; no confirmed intake dates are listed on the program page.
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.
