Applicant pathways
Applicant category

High-school, transfer, mature or Indigenous applicants as explicitly defined

  • High School : A graduate of a BC secondary school or an equivalent school system. ( Note: Proof of June graduation must be received in order to be eligible for Fall admission. High school students graduating in August are considered for Spring admission. High school students graduating in January are considered for Summer admission. )
  • Transfer: An applicant who has successfully completed 9 or more credits above the preparatory level from a recognized post-secondary institution.
  • Mature: An applicant who will be 19 years of age or older on the first day of the term of admission.
  • Indigenous: An Indigenous applicant who wishes to be considered for admission by the Indigenous Admissions Committee on an individual basis.
  • For further details on all of KPU's applicant categories, refer to the university Calendar.
KPU current general applicant categories and named open/limited admission directory
English evidence

All undergraduate applicants; exact programme criteria can be higher

  • Meet KPU undergraduate English proficiency using an accepted high-school, university/KPU course or testing route. The current official FAQ names English Studies 12 C+ or three undergraduate English credits C− as qualifying course routes; other accepted routes require calendar review.
KPU current undergraduate admission FAQ
High-school applicant category and graduation timing

BC secondary-school graduates or an equivalent school system

  • Qualify through secondary graduation or an equivalent school system, then satisfy the chosen programme/faculty requirements. For Fall entry the page requires proof of June graduation. August graduates are considered for Spring; January graduates for Summer. No new admission year or ISO deadline is inferred.
kpu categories · official applicant policy
Transfer applicant category

Applicants with recognized prior postsecondary credits

  • The public category requires at least9 successfully completed credits above preparatory level from a recognized postsecondary institution. Category recognition is followed by the programme’s actual entry requirements; it does not guarantee credit transfer or waive a later-entry programme’s higher credit requirement.
kpu categories · official applicant policy
Mature applicant category

Applicants aged19 or older on the first day of the admission term

  • Age establishes the mature applicant category. Applicants must still satisfy the stated programme/faculty and appropriate English-proficiency requirements. No general age-based prerequisite waiver is published here.
kpu categories · official applicant policy
Indigenous individual admission category

Indigenous applicants requesting individual committee consideration

  • An Indigenous applicant may request consideration by the Indigenous Admissions Committee on an individual basis. The category does not itself promise admission to a limited intake or satisfy a programme’s special requirements.
kpu categories · official applicant policy
Open versus limited intake after applicant-category review

All KPU applicants; exact programme intake classification remains controlling

  • Qualifying for an applicant category is only the first step. Open-intake study follows the relevant faculty admission requirements; limited-intake programmes follow their own programme requirements and capacity limits.
  • Undergraduate applicants must satisfy the undergraduate English-proficiency requirement through an accepted school course, undergraduate/KPU course or test. Those unable to satisfy undergraduate requirements may be eligible for the separate Pathway to Undergraduate Studies; no automatic progression or approved equivalence is inferred.
