Requirements
Admission Requirements: UFV's Academic Calendar sets out two routes into the Accounting Certificate. Applicants entering directly from secondary school need B.C. secondary school graduation or equivalent, or to be at least 19 years old before their first day of classes, plus the prerequisites for Academic Writing (CMNS 125) and Calculus for Business (MATH 141). Applicants entering on prior post-secondary study need the same CMNS 125 and MATH 141 prerequisites plus one of: nine credits at the 100 level or above with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00; a two-year post-secondary career/technical diploma with a minimum CGPA of 2.50; or a three- or four-year bachelor's degree with a minimum CGPA of 2.00. For math upgrading, MATH 094 and MATH 095, or MATH 096, at C+ or better are accepted. Neither pathway names a specific English-language test score on the program's own pages; applicants with proficiency questions are directed to UFV academic advising. The certificate is open to international students and starts in September.
