How to apply

I am a domestic student.
(Canadian Citizen/Permanent Resident/Convention Refugee)

Apply for English for Academic Purposes

Students attending this program can either pay fees 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.

Strong English skills help you participate in class, express your ideas clearly, and connect with others. They also give you access to learning resources and open doors to more career opportunities.
Apply for EAP to take the next step toward your goals.
Step 1.

Make sure the English for Academic Purposes program is currently accepting applications for domestic students.

Step 2.

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.
  • Documentation of language test or course scores

Pay your application fee.

Please note: If you apply for multiple intakes or programs, you must pay a fee for each application.

Step 4.

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 write the EAP placement test at Bow Valley College. We will send you information about testing once we receive your application.

Next Steps

Once you have written the EAP placement test, we will let you know your course placement and whether there is a seat for you in the program. When a seat becomes available, you can decide whether you wish to attend the program as a fee-paying student or apply for FLAP funding.

You’re almost there! Once you've submitted your application and required documents and paid the fee, check your application status regularly for any updates or additional steps that may be required.
