Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Event Management Certificate, delivered through TRU Open Learning, states open admission: the programme page sets no grade, subject or GPA entry threshold of its own, only recommending that applicants have basic computer skills before starting. A minimum of six TRU credits (distance or on-campus) is required toward residency for the 18-credit credential. No standardised English-language test score, portfolio, interview or work-experience requirement is stated on the programme page; applicants ultimately still need to satisfy Thompson Rivers University's general undergraduate admission bases -- a recognised secondary curriculum, transferable post-secondary credits, or mature-student status -- to be admitted to the university itself.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to TRU: for the September (Fall) intake the deadline is 1 May, for January (Winter) it is 1 September, and for the May (Summer) intake it is 1 January; applications for most programs open 1 October, and a deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day. International applicants follow the same intake structure with deadlines of 1 May (September), 1 October (January) and 1 February (May); TRU still reviews later applications where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early, so admission runs on a rolling basis around these published cut-offs for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
