Program details
Overview
The BC Adult Graduation Diploma is the secondary school graduation diploma for adults, 18 years of age or over. To be eligible for the Adult Dogwood, you must complete three courses after enrolling in an adult program. Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) may be used to meet any of the requirements for the Adult Dogwood.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must be 18 or older. Five courses (20 credits) are required: a Provincial-level English course (ENGL 091 or higher) or a BC Secondary System Language Arts 12 course; an Advanced-level math course (MATH 084, MATH 085 or higher) or a BC Secondary System Math 11/12 course; and either three further Provincial-level or post-secondary courses, or one Advanced-level Social Sciences course plus two further Provincial-level or post-secondary courses. At least three of the five courses must be completed as an adult, and Prior Learning Assessment may be credited toward part of the requirement. The programme page states no standardized English-language test score, since it serves BC-upgrading applicants rather than international entry; consultation with a University Upgrading and Preparation (UUP) assistant is recommended while planning the course sequence.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to UFV: applications for Fall (September) 2027 entry open 1 October 2026, for Winter (January) 2027 entry opened 1 May 2026, and for Summer (May) 2027 entry open 1 October 2026; UFV publishes no closing date for any of these and instead admits many programmes strictly in application-date order once every required document has arrived, so applying soon after opening matters more than any deadline. Grade 12 students may apply from 1 October of their graduating year and must send final transcripts by 3 August. International applicants use UFV International's own windows - 1 October to 31 May for Fall, 1 May to 31 October for Winter and 1 October to 1 March for Summer - and are likewise assessed on a rolling, first-arrived basis until each programme fills. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
