NEC does not charge an application fee.  For information about specific programs, including entrance requirements and prerequisites, please review the Program information on this website or contact our Admissions Office at 604-873-3772, ext. 313 or 328. If you apply on-line or by fax or mail, you will be contacted by Admissions staff with information on how to follow up on the admissions process. 

You are required to bring your high school transcripts to your appointment.  If you don’t have your transcripts, we will arrange a time for you to complete the placement assessment test. 

Read the requirements for each program online to ensure you meet the prerequisites. You are required to bring your high school transcripts and your letter of reference (if they are required). If you do not have your high school diploma and over 21 of age then you may apply as a mature student. We will consider a combination of academic skills and relevant experience in assessing your application for admission. The NEC Admission staff may request that you complete a placement assessment.  

Mature students (21 years or older) and students with no transcript (for AABE, must be at least 18 years and out of school for 1 year) are required to write an assessment test to establish academic placement. An applicant with previous educational, employment or community service experience may be given credit for specific courses by completing a prior learning assessment process. Click here for more information about Assessments and Testing.

Fees for all programs and courses must be paid at the time of registration. Students who receive sponsorships must arrange for a letter from their sponsoring agency or band to be delivered to the Admissions Office. Admissions staff can answer any questions you may have about funding and how to apply for funding. Successful applicants will receive an acceptance letter which will outline the registration process.
