Most programs at VCC are offered in a cohort model, where students are registered into courses by VCC, and will be expected to follow a progression plan according to the program curriculum. Students are typically not given the flexibility to choose a heavier or lighter course load.
Returning Student Registration
University Transfer Course Registration
Sample program schedules can be found on individual program pages. The exact class times may vary depending on sections. Students will receive detailed class schedules before their programs start.
Students may also check their class schedules on their myVCC accounts. If there is any outstanding fee payable, students will receive notification about tuition fees owing and payment deadlines.
Newly admitted students who meet the important deadlines of document submission will be registered to start at VCC, and will receive class schedules before their programs start. If there is any outstanding fee payable, students will receive notification about tuition fees owing and payment deadlines.
Returning students in good academic standing may receive class schedules prior to beginning their second-year classes. Schedules will be emailed to students once available. Once registered, students will receive notification about tuition fees owing and payment deadlines.
VCC will register University Transfer students in the first term. Starting from the second term, students will register themselves online after discussing course planning with an international student advisor.
