Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Digital Planning for the Cultural Sector micro-certificate has no formal application process: prospective participants simply register for the single required course. The program page recommends, without requiring, current or prior experience in a cultural organization, on the basis that participants should be able to draw on that experience to complete assignments and contribute meaningfully to discussions. Participants also need regular access to a computer with a reliable internet connection, and the program expects university-level research, writing and critical-thinking skills, though it sets no minimum grade, GPA, or prior credential as a formal condition of registration. Continuing Studies' general English-proficiency policy does not list this non-credit micro-certificate among the programs requiring a formal English-language test score.
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.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
