To be eligible for admission to Vancouver Island University (VIU), applicants must meet specific academic and language requirements. For undergraduate programs, a high school diploma or equivalent with a minimum GPA is typically required. Some programs may have additional prerequisites.
International students must demonstrate English proficiency through tests like IELTS or TOEFL. Graduate programs require a relevant bachelor’s degree with a minimum GPA, along with letters of recommendation and a statement of purpose.
VIU also considers mature students (19+ years) without a diploma if they meet alternative criteria. Always check the program-specific requirements on VIU’s official website.
