Requirements

The certificate page publishes no standardized international English test score of its own; on Thompson Rivers University's general admission page, direct entry to an undergraduate certificate requires IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 20. Applicants must be proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel, have reliable internet access, and are responsible for securing their own work-experience placement. Domestic application deadlines are May 1 (Fall), September 1 (Winter) and January 1 (Summer); seats are limited.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall, Winter and Summer
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.
