Any remaining seats may be made available to international students after the domestic student registration finishes, typically a couple of weeks before classes begin. Due to the limitation of international seats, only applicants with a valid study permit may apply. Conditional admission is not available.
Upon completion of VCC English courses with a minimum grade, students may meet the English language requirements. For more details, check the VCC ESL or English courses list. Conditional admission to VCC Academic Programs is not available.
