Program details

Overview

The Diploma in Indigenous Language Revitalization (DILR) assists those who want to build on their Indigenous language skills, better understand the contexts in which Indigenous languages can be revitalized, and gain some basic teaching skills. This program is delivered in a community-based (language specific) partnership format. Therefore, students move through the program as a cohort. Program electives can be selected based on partnership & cohort specific requests.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.00 / 9.0

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
