Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Computer Systems Technology Diploma requires Grade 12 graduation or equivalent, English Studies 12 with a minimum 'C' grade or equivalent, and Foundations of Mathematics 11 with a minimum 'C+' grade or equivalent. The page does not publish a standardized English-test score (it links out to VCC's general English Language Proficiency Requirements rather than stating IELTS or TOEFL numbers on the programme page itself) and states no minimum grade point average. The programme is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents only; international applicants are directed to VCC International. A complete application requires the application form, official transcripts evidencing the course prerequisites, any other required documents, and the fee, with seats offered in order of application completion date rather than by competitive ranking.

Application Details

Start Date: September intake only. VCC's academic year runs in three terms: Winter (January to April), Spring/Summer (May to August) and Fall (September to December).

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through EducationPlannerBC. VCC publishes this programme's windows term by term on its When to Apply page: Fall 2027 entry (September start) — open 1 October 2026, close 1 June 2027. Seats go to eligible applicants in the order their applications are completed, so the programme can close before the listed end date once it fills. VCC's page for this programme states it is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and points international students to VCC International, which lists separately the programmes and intakes open to them; there the application periods open on 1 February, 1 June and 1 October of the previous year for the Winter, Spring/Summer and Fall terms, with no fixed closing date — a programme accepts applications until roughly three to four months before classes begin, or until its seats are gone.
