Let’s break it down.

You’ve seen the big picture. Now let’s break down each step, including what you’ll need and where to go.

Step 1. Check application dates.

See upcoming start dates and deadlines.

Check the application dates for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and apply while applications are open. Classes can fill up quickly, so don’t wait to apply.

Step 2. Get your documents ready.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• Your Alberta Student Number (ASN).  If you have applied to or attended a school or post-secondary institution in Alberta, you will already have an ASN. To find your ASN, you can use the ASN Lookup service. If you do not have an ASN, the ApplyAlberta system will assign one to you.
• A minimum of high school completion in student's home country is recommended.
• Minimum language test* scores:
  
• IELTS Academic: 4.0
• Dulingo: 65
• or minimum recommended Canadian Language Benchmarks test **results (CLBPT or CLBPA) or course-assigned CLBs:
  
• Any combination of benchmarks 4/5 is recommended before you apply.  Applicants who apply using CLB scores must also take the EAP entrance test and achieve the minimum required score for admission. (You will receive test details after you apply.)

Step 3. Submit your application.

Apply through ApplyAlberta and pay the $90 application fee.

Please note: You’ll need to pay a separate application fee for each intake or program you apply to.

Step 4. Complete your placement.

You’re almost done! Make sure you provide Bow Valley College with your most recent language test scores or CLB course benchmarks.

Email your CLB results to registrar@bowvalleycollege.ca. 
After you apply, you’ll take the EAP placement test. We’ll let you know your course placement and if a seat is available. We will send you information about testing once we receive your application.

Interested in funding?
When a seat becomes available, you can decide whether you wish to attend the program as a fee-paying student or apply for Foundational Learning Assistance Program (FLAP) funding. Students must be registered in an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course before they can apply for FLAP funding.
