Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission is competitive. The academic requirement is Grade 12 graduation or an equivalent, English Studies 12 at a minimum 'C+' grade or English language proficiency assessed at that level, Human Biology 12 at a minimum 'C+' or equivalent, and one of Chemistry 11, Math 11 or Physics 11 at a minimum 'C+' or equivalent. Applicants who clear those requirements then submit a portfolio showing aptitude for the profession, following VCC's published submission guidelines; those whose portfolios the department's applicant review panel approves are interviewed by the panel in person or by videoconference, and the highest-ranked qualified applicants are offered the seats. On acceptance you need valid emergency or basic first aid with CPR-C certification, kept current for the whole programme. VCC states this programme is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents and directs international students to VCC International, which lists separately the programmes open to them. College-wide rules also apply: applicants must be 16 or older or a secondary-school graduate, with some exceptions, and official transcripts and every required supporting document must reach VCC before the application counts as complete.
