We highly recommend that all international students follow the schedule in the Associate of Science Course Selection Guide to ensure they maintain full-time study status.
All eligible Term 1 international students are automatically registered into ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1001 in their first term by VCC however qualified students may request a switch to ENGL 1100. Students with questions about ENGL 1100 eligibility and how to make the switch in registration can contact study@vcc.ca (please include VCC ID number, Full Name, and program of study).
Students in Term 2 onwards are responsible for registering themselves into their courses. Students are encouraged to check the pre-requisites of the electives and course offerings before registration.
