Requirements

Admission Requirements: Vancouver Community College's own page for this programme now redirects to its general Academic Upgrading Grades 10-12 page and states no Indigenous-specific academic admission requirement beyond the general upgrading conditions: applicants must demonstrate English Language Proficiency, be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and be 16 or older or a secondary-school graduate. Course-level prerequisites, where they exist, are set out in individual course outlines. The page states no IELTS, TOEFL or other standardized test score and no minimum grade point average. A complete application requires the application form, official transcripts, other required supporting documents and the fee or deposit; applicants who self-identify as Indigenous are encouraged to connect with VCC's Indigenous Education and Community Engagement team for enrolment policy information and individualised support.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through EducationPlannerBC. VCC publishes each programme's own application window, term by term, on its When to Apply page rather than one college-wide date: windows open roughly six to twenty months before the term starts and close on a stated date, though popular programmes can close earlier once seats fill, since places generally go to eligible applicants in the order their application is completed. International applicants use the International Applicant option on EducationPlannerBC; VCC opens international applications on 1 February of the previous year for Winter entry, 1 June for Spring/Summer, and 1 October for Fall, with no fixed closing date — applications continue until roughly three to four months before the term begins or until it fills, so admission is effectively rolling for international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
