Program details

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Mapping with Drones Micro-certificate states that no prior GIS experience is assumed for acceptance into the program, positioning it as accessible to career changers and recent graduates seeking geospatial skills. The program page directs applicants to review the individual course descriptions that make up the certificate for any course-specific technical prerequisites, but sets no overall minimum education level, no English-language-proficiency test or score, and no portfolio or interview requirement at the certificate level. UVic's Division of Continuing Studies requires no formal application for this micro-certificate: learners register directly for its component courses. No minimum work-experience threshold, age limit, or other admission condition is stated on the program page.

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.
