Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic entry requires Grade 12 completion or mature-student status, plus English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 at a minimum of 73% (or equivalent). 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. No portfolio, interview, work-experience, age, or criminal-record conditions are stated on the program page, and no specific intake month is published; the page directs applicants to its full requirements and course listing for further detail.

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.
