Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a minimum three-year degree in a subject broadly related to environmental science, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. On top of the degree, applicants must meet NLC's standard English requirement: a 'C' grade or higher in English 12, English Literature 12, or English First Peoples 12, or ENGL 050/ENGL 099, or an equivalent university-level English course; Math requires a 'C' (60%) or higher in Pre-Calculus 11, Principles of Mathematics 11, Foundations of Math 11, or MATH 040. International applicants and those educated in French or another language must instead meet NLC's general standard in Appendix A; the programme page does not publish its own test scores. Once enrolled, students must maintain a 2.00 program Grade Point Average with a 'D' (50%) minimum per course, and at least half of all coursework must be completed at Northern Lights College, with a 'C' (60%) minimum for courses to be considered for transfer. Standard intakes occur every September, with Fall, Winter, and Spring options at Dawson Creek and Fort St. John.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Northern Lights College uses one admissions calendar for domestic and international applicants alike, applying through EducationPlannerBC or in person. Applications open about eleven months before each intake: 1 October for the following Fall, 1 February for the following Winter, and 1 June for the following Spring. For the 2027 cycle the priority deadline is 30 September 2026 for Winter 2027 entry, 31 January 2027 for Spring 2027 entry, and 31 May 2027 for Fall 2027 entry (dual-credit applicants get until 24 October 2026 and 23 June 2027 respectively), with a tuition deposit due about a month after each priority date. NLC states international applicants already in Canada on a valid visa follow the same domestic deadlines; after the priority date, seats remain open, on a rolling basis, until each term's add/drop date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
