Requirements
Admission Requirements: On top of Douglas College's General College Admission Requirements (https://www.douglascollege.ca/admissions/requirements-and-assessment-testing/general-college-admissions-requirements) — B.C. secondary graduation or an equivalent, standing one course short of it, being nineteen by the start of the semester, being seventeen with a year out of school, or holding an approved special-needs or Evergreen credential — this programme also requires Foundations of Math 11 or Pre-Calculus 11 (or equivalent; MATU 0410 or the Business Readiness Assessment are accepted alternatives). Applicants must also meet Douglas College's institution-wide English Language Proficiency requirement: Grade 12 English at a minimum grade of C (English Studies 12, English First Peoples 12, or English 12) or Communications 12 at B, or a recognized test score such as IELTS Academic overall band 6.5, TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with no section below 4.0, PTE Academic 56, Duolingo English Test 110, or CAEL 60. No portfolio, interview or other non-academic condition is listed for this diploma.
Application Details
Start Date:Douglas runs three fifteen-week semesters a year: Fall from September to December, Winter from January to April and Summer from May to August. The programme page lists intakes in Fall (September). The Fall 2026 semester began on 8 September 2026 and Winter 2027 classes begin on 4 January 2027.
Application Deadline:Douglas publishes college-wide application windows rather than a single date for every programme, and the domestic and international timetables are different. DOMESTIC APPLICANTS apply on EducationPlannerBC. Applications for a semester open about eleven months ahead, at 9:00 a.m. on the first business day of the opening month: 1 October for the following Fall. Douglas labels this a limited-enrolment programme, so it sets no single fixed closing date: the round shuts when the intake fills, and the college’s own test is whether the programme still appears in the EducationPlannerBC drop-down list. Applicants are acknowledged in writing about two to three weeks after applying, and qualified applicants are then ranked against the programme’s published criteria. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS follow Douglas’s separate college-wide dates, not the domestic ones: the Fall (September) 2026 intake closed on 31 May 2026, Winter (January) 2027 closes on 30 September 2026, and Summer (May) 2027 closes on 31 January 2027. Limited-enrolment programmes can fill before those dates and open-enrolment ones last only while seats do, so Douglas advises applying early enough to leave room for a study-permit application. Read from the programme page and the college deadline pages on 6 September 2026; Douglas had not yet published Summer 2027 domestic closing dates.
