Vancouver Island University (VIU) typically offers three intakes annually: Fall (September), Spring (January), and Summer (May). Application deadlines vary by program and level of study. For most undergraduate programs, the deadline for Fall is March 31, Spring is October 31, and Summer is February 28. Graduate programs may have different deadlines, so checking the specific program page is advised.
International students should apply earlier to allow time for study permit processing. VIU recommends submitting applications at least six months before the intake. Deadlines for competitive programs may be earlier, and late applications are considered if space permits.
