Conditional Admission for ILAC and ILSC Applicants

Students enrolled at ILAC or ILSC University Pathway programs may apply for conditional admission in many of VCC’s programs, as long as all other requirements are met. For more information about ILAC or ILSC University Pathway programs, contact ILAC or ILSC directly.

 

Conditional Letter of Acceptance (CLOA)

Conditionally admitted students must complete the required University Pathway levels and submit the certificates or equivalent language test scores by the deadlines stated in the Conditional Letter of Acceptance (CLOA).

Review the ILAC University Pathway and ILSC University Pathway pages for the list of programs that are eligible for conditional admission.

 

Meeting Conditions

Conditionally admitted students must submit the certificates of the required University Pathway levels from ILAC or ILSC, or an equivalent language test score, by the deadlines stated in the Conditional Letter of Acceptance (CLOA) to receive final admission.

 

Follow Your Study Plan at ILAC or ILSC

As a conditionally admitted student, your admission is not final until you submit the pathway certificate or an equivalent language test score by the deadline. Please consult with your pathway specialists at ILAC or ILSC before making any changes to your pathway study plan. If you discontinue your studies at ILAC or ILSC before meeting the conditions, your conditional admission and seat may be cancelled.

 

Do Not Cancel Your University Pathway Program

Even if you submit a language test score before completing your pathway program, we encourage you continue improving your English proficiency to better prepare for your upcoming VCC studies.

If you decide to discontinue the University Pathway program at ILAC or ILSC without providing an equivalent language test score, your conditional admission and seat may be cancelled as you are unable to meet the conditions listed on your Conditional Letter of Acceptance. You must re-apply to VCC for the next available intake, and seats are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis in the case of a re-application.

 

Deadlines to Meet Conditions

If you are unable to meet the conditions by the deadline stated in your Conditional Letter of Acceptance, you have two options:

  • Request a deferral of admission by emailing ieadmissions@vcc.ca with your full name, program, VCC student number, and an updated Letter of Acceptance from your pathway language school.
  • Withdraw your application and request a refund. Refer to the refund policy for details about the non-refundable portion of the tuition, the administration fee, and other refund guidelines for international students.

 

Receive Full Admission for CLOA

Refer to the deadline stated in your Conditional Letter of Acceptance (CLOA), and submit one of the following documents by the deadline for full admission. 

  • A completion letter and final transcript of the University Pathway Level as stated in your Conditional Letter of Acceptance
  • An equivalent language test

 

Pathways - Direct Admission

Students may meet VCC's English requirements and apply for direct admission by submitting ILAC University Pathway or ILSC University Pathway certificates upon applying to the majority of VCC programs. The pathway levels required for direct admission vary by program, and the pathway certificates are valid for 2 years.

Students who apply for admission directly with the pathway certificates may meet VCC's requirements and be admitted to VCC by receiving a letter of acceptance (LOA), without conditions, as the English proficiency levels have been met. There will be no Conditional Letter of Acceptance (CLOA) issued with the language proficiency as a condition. The official Letter of Acceptance (LOA) will also not state that completion of a prerequisite program or course was required for enrolment at VCC.
