Admission average

General requirements

• High school diploma with six Grade 12 academic courses.
• With the exception of Economics 12 and Financial Accounting 12, subjects from the Applied Design, Skills and Technology (ADST) curriculum do not count toward the six academic courses required for admission.
• When it becomes available, upload a transcript with your second semester mid-term marks as soon as possible. While BC will automatically send your marks electronically, they will not arrive in time for you to be considered for admission.

Notes

• If your first language is not English, you may need to meet our English language requirements.
• Required courses that are two to three years old may need to be updated. Email the admissions office for further details.
• Repeated courses may be taken into consideration when we review applications for admission.
