Douglas College Admissions Update

Program News…

BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) program‘s admission requirements include English 12 and Principles or Foundations of Math 11 with a minimum grade of C.

Note: English 12 with a “B” and Principles of Math 11 or Foundations of Math 11 with a “B” or equivalent are prerequisites for some required courses offered in the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you check each individual course prerequisite and ensure that you have completed this math requirement prior to registra-tion. Failure to comply with prerequisite requirements could result in course deregistration. A Business Readiness Assessment is available; please call Douglas College Assessment Services at 604 527 5478 to book an appointment.

Students are encouraged to attend a program information session for program of interest.

Important News…

Students applying to a limited enrolment program (ie. a specialized program such as Bachelor of Science in Nursing or Early Childhood Education) should always include an application to an “open” program such as General Studies, Arts, or Science as a back-up plan. All program choices can be included on one paper application rather than applying online separately for each program, to avoid repayment of application fee for each application.

Entrance Awards

Entrance awards are given to outstanding students entering a full-time Douglas College credential program. Application deadline is April 1. Apply online! Please refer to Entrance Awards Online Application Instructions for information on these awards and apply process.

Students are required to drop off or mail supporting documentation. As April 1 is a stat holiday and we will be closed, April 2 is okay for receipt of supporting documentation

We will no longer require a Principal’s Nomination Form. Students applying for entrance scholarships are required to complete the on-line application and provide an official transcript, completed volunteer activity form and reference letters. There is a new form called Scholarship Volunteer Activity Form that is to be used by scholarship applicants (entrance, regular or graduation scholarships). The form is on our Forms page http://www.douglas.bc.ca/services/financial-aid/general-information/forms.html It is a requirement for some scholarships but not all. If a student does not have any volunteer activity they can still apply for scholarships but will not be considered for any awards that require volunteer activity.

*Paper applications will still be used for the Fairfax Financial Holdings Entrance Awards as very detailed financial information is required. We also have a paper application available for UAPP, Local 170 entrance awards as students do not have to be attending Douglas College so would not be able to use the on-line application without a student number. The forms can be downloaded and printed from our Forms page http://www.douglas.bc.ca/services/financial-aid/general-information/forms.html
