Agreement Offers College Courses to High Schools

econdary school students from

Vancouver, North and West Vancouver, Squamish and the Sunshine Coast, will soon be offered a jump start on programs at Capilano College.

The first articulation agreement between the five school boards and Capilano College was signed at the College’s North Vancouver campus on Friday, May 31. The agreement offers benefits for grade 11 and 12 students who plan to pursue a post-secondary education in Applied Business Technology.

The objectives of this agreement are to facilitate post-secondary entry for secondary school graduates by minimizing duplication of curriculum content and providing qualified graduates of career preparation programs with preferential admission.

Two options will be offered to high school students, who will be advised and assisted by their teachers, in

consultation with Capilano College staff.

Option number one automatically accepts qualified Career Preparation graduates into the Department of Applied Business Technology’s Accounting Assistant Program, Administrative Assistant Program, Legal Secretarial Program, and Medical Office Assistant Program. They will not be required to undergo any screening process.

The second option offers College credits to those students who maintain an “A” (85%) standing and complete specific core material in grades 11 and 12.

This is a partnership which the provincial government has been urging post-secondary institutions to pursue. It’s an excellent opportunity for both the students and the College. It will save students time and money, and will introduce the College to students at a younger age.
