Program details

Overview

The Information Technology Certificate pursues a wide variety of complementary information technology or computing courses. Start with core knowledge in supervision, management, composition, professional writing and introductory IT electives, then take a non-computing elective.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Certificate in Information Technology, delivered through TRU Open Learning, recommends but does not strictly require a provincial Grade 12 diploma or equivalent for admission. The programme page sets no minimum grade, GPA, or standardised English-language test score such as IELTS or TOEFL, and states no portfolio, interview or work-experience condition. A minimum of 6 TRU credits (online or on-campus) is required toward residency for the credential; as with TRU's other Open Learning offerings, applicants ultimately still need to satisfy the university's general undergraduate admission bases to be admitted to Thompson Rivers 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.
