degree, you can come back to the West Kootenay

education possible, just like you'll do when it’s your
turn at the blackboard.

of English 12 with a grade of "C" or better or written
permission of the Instructor and School Chair. Other
prerequisites depend on the electives chosen to
complete the program and should be determined
with the advice of a Selkirk College counsellor.[f you
are a student who lacks the admission requirements,
you may still gain entry to the program by taking a
combination of university courses in your first year.
This may extend the length of your program.
