Concurrent Enrolment

Concurrent enrolment allows you, as a grade 11 or 12 student, to enrol in college courses while finishing your high school diploma. Get a head start on your college education today!

Normally, no more than 12 credits obtained through concurrent studies may be applied toward a certificate, diploma or degree at the College. The following conditions will apply:

• The applicant must have a superior academic record
• The applicant must have the support and written recommendation of the secondary school principal
• The applicant must be enrolled at the grade 11 or 12 level in a program of studies that meets the regular entrance requirements of the College program to which admission is sought
• The applicant must have the written approval of the appropriate Okanagan College dean for the courses in which the applicant plans to enrol
• The applicant must have the written consent of the parent or legal guardian if under the age of majority on the first day of classes

   

Admission will be limited to one academic year; however, this may be renewable with the continued support of the regional dean and the program dean. Students in concurrent studies will be treated as regular students except that they may not enrol in a full course load. Their selection of courses must be approved by the appropriate dean, and their eligibility to register is valid for one year unless renewed by the dean. Standard transcripts will be issued, and fees, deadlines and all other regulations will be as for regular students.

If you are enrolled in concurrent studies at the College and satisfy program entrance requirements upon your secondary school graduation, you will be treated as a continuing student and will not be required to reapply but you may be fully admitted to the college program. For further details you can speak with the career counsellor at your high school or one of our college recruiters.
