Admission Advice
1. Admission selection is based on overall grade average in English 12, Math 11 and two other provincially recognized Grade 12 courses (chosen to your advantage).
2. Mature applicants without English 12 can write the LPI and must receive a minimum score of level 4. Mature applicants without Mathematics 11 can take the mathematics diagnostic test, administered by Okanagan College. A minimum score of 16/25 is required.
3. Applicants who ultimately fail to satisfy the specific English and/or math entrance requirements may be granted admission to and be allowed to remain enrolled in the business program as qualifying students subject to the availability of space after the admission and registration of qualified applicants. Qualifying students may concurrently register in a maximum of three first-year business courses, any three for which they satisfy the prerequisites. Qualifying first-year business students will not be considered to be continuing students and will, therefore, be allowed to continue in the program after the qualifying year only if all outstanding course entrance requirements have been successfully completed.
Applicants also have to satisfy OC's institution admission requirements as listed below.
English is the language of instruction and communication at Okanagan College. All applicants, including Canadian citizens, whose native or primary language is other than English, must demonstrate a command of English sufficient to meet the demands of classroom instruction and written assignments.
See individual program listings and then visit English and Alternatives for program-specific English requirements.
Applicants Whose First Language Is Not English
If English is not your first language, you must submit documentation of ONE OF the following when applying to a diploma, degree and certificate programs:
A score exceeding level 4 on the Okanagan College English Language Assessment (OCELA).
A minimum grade of 70% in B.C. secondary school English 12 or its equivalent for the Bachelor of Business Administration program or a minimum grade of 60% for most other programs.
If you have successfully completed a diploma or degree from an accredited institution at which English is the language of instruction, you may submit your academic transcript for review by Okanagan College. Subject to verification, this diploma or degree may be used to meet the English requirement for admission to Okanagan College.
Documentation of English language proficiency should be sent directly to intedapps@okanagan.bc.ca or ideally be submitted with the online application.
