University Qualifying Studies

Description

University Qualifying Studies provides an opportunity for study for students who want to pursue upgrading or preparatory studies prior to, or while beginning their undergraduate or vocational program.

Admission Requirements

All applicants who do not have the appropriate High School prerequisite, or those referred by instructors, must take assessments in English and mathematics to ensure appropriate placement in the program. Assessments are booked through Student Enrolment Services (kpu.ca/ses).

Curricular Requirements

Requirements are dependent on the program of study the student is pursuing.

Some Qualifying Studies courses are provincially articulated through the Adult Upgrading articulation system; some Qualifying Studies courses may be transferable. Please check with the Academic & Career Advancement Educational Advisor for details (phone 604-599-2063).
