Application vs. Admission

Preliminary Assessment
If you are not sure whether you meet the admission requirements for international students, consider skipping the EducationPlannerBC step and submitting supporting documents only with a request for unofficial evaluation (free of charge).
Incoming Transfer Students
The International Admissions department does not evaluate previous coursework for credit towards a ̽ credential. Please review information for International Transfer students.
Program Change (for Applicants)
