Who is Eligible?
Yukon College welcomes applications from all Canadian
citizens, landed immigrants, persons with permanent
resident status or a study permit.
Applicants without the academic prerequisites may
qualify for entry into a program by successfully
completing College Assessments.
Mature Student Status is granted to those applicants
19 years of age or older, or 17 years of age and out of
school for at least one year.
Applicants are considered for admission to most
programs on a first-come, first-served basis, only
after all required documents and the application fee
have been received. To ensure consideration for a
program, apply as early as possible.
Applicants educated in a country other than Canada
or the United States should have their transcripts
evaluated by an agency such as International Credential
Evaluation Service (ICES) in British Columbia (www.
bcit.ca/ices), or International Qualifications Assessment
Service (IQAS) in Alberta (www.employment.alberta.ca/
immigration/4512.html).
English is the language of instruction and communication
at the College. All coursework required of the students
shall be in English, except for other language courses.
Regardless of the country of origin or citizenship, all
applicants will be required to demonstrate proficiency
in English before being accepted to programs of study
(other than English as a Second Language program). This
may be done by providing:
• Proof of achievement at the grade level designated
as the admission requirement for the program to
which the student is applying, or equivalent; OR
• Proof of achievement at the prescribed level in the
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL),
International English Language Testing System
(IELTS) or the Canadian Language Benchmark
Placement Test (CLBPT).
Applicants and students who have been identified or who
suspect they have any kind of disability or condition that
might affect their learning should contact the Learning
Assistance Centre co-ordinator as early in the application
process as possible. See more on the Learning Assistance
Centre on page 18.
