Requirements
Admission Requirements: Beyond Douglas College's General College Admission Requirements, this Diploma in Computing Studies and Information Systems requires Pre-Calculus 11 or Foundations of Math 11 with a grade of "C" or better (or equivalent). The page notes that registering for MATH 1160 needs proof of one of those grade-11 Math courses with a grade of "B" or better, while MATH 1130 or BUSN 2429 needs Pre-Calculus 12 or Foundations of Math 12 with a "C" or better. Applicants must also meet the College's English Language Proficiency requirement (for example IELTS Academic overall 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83, PTE Academic 56, or Duolingo English Test 110). No interview, portfolio or minimum admission GPA is stated; the programme instead sets a 2.00 minimum GPA as a graduation requirement.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:Douglas College publishes college-wide application windows rather than a single date for every programme, and the domestic and international timetables differ. Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC: for the 2027 entry cycle, Fall applications open 1 October 2026, Winter applications open 1 February 2026, and Summer applications open 1 June 2026; limited-enrolment programmes set no fixed close and shut once seats fill, while open-enrolment programmes stay open until 4:00 p.m. the Friday before the semester starts. International applicants apply directly to Douglas: Fall 2026 entry is now closed, Winter 2027 entry is accepted until 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry until 31 January 2027. Admission is effectively rolling within each window until seats or the deadline are reached. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
