Applicants to the Engineering and Fabrication Technologies Diploma Program must meet the following criteria in order to receive admission to the program and priority registration:
- General College Admission Requirements
- Chemistry 12 with a minimum grade of C+ or acceptable substitution*
- Physics 12 with a minimum grade of C or acceptable substitution*
- Precalculus 12 with a minimum grade of B or acceptable substitution*
* In most cases, university transferable coursework completed in the above subject areas can be used toward meeting the cohort priority registration eligibility requirements.
Preferential GPA Admission: Applicants will be offered admission based on the Grade Point Average (GPA) of the courses required for admission. Applicants with the highest GPAs will receive the first offers.

*** A University Transferable course is a course that transfer to one of the Research Universities - SFU, UBC (UBCV or UBCO), UNBC or UVIC in the BC Transfer Guide. Please contact the Engineering Coordinator for information on choosing electives.
**** Some students may require further English upgrading before taking CMNS or ENGL courses. Please check the course prerequisites for more information.
Academic Standard
To maintain status in the Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program, students must meet the following criteria:
- maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.33 each semester; AND
- achieve a minimum grade of C in all registered academic courses; AND
- register in the required course load each semester (a minimum of four courses per semester).
NOTE: if any of the above criteria are not met, students may be placed on program probation for one semester.
