Application Details
Start Date:January, April, July, and October
Application Deadline:LaSalle College Vancouver runs a continuous, rolling admission process for both domestic and international applicants: the college's own Academic Calendar and admissions pages publish no fixed application-opening or closing date, and applicants select an available start date as part of their online application rather than applying through a provincial service. The 2025-2026 Academic Calendar lists quarterly terms beginning in October, January, April and July (the next Fall term begins 5 October 2026), and applications are assessed on an ongoing basis until each term's seats fill. International applicants follow the same rolling process; the college advises applying well ahead of a chosen start date to allow time for a study permit, but publishes no separate international deadline. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
