As Vancouver Community College is a post-secondary institution committed to educating adult learners, applicants should be 16 years of age or older or a graduate of a secondary school.

Please note that you must submit official transcripts and educational documents to support your application; unfortunately, we cannot accept photocopies or fax versions.

Program Specific

Missing prerequisites? VCC offers courses in Adult Upgrading and English as an Additional Language to help you meet your goals.

Students interested in community courses and part-time studies should apply online and follow up with the music department by email at music@vcc.ca.

Registration

Registration for Basic Theory 1003 or Solfege 1001 starts approximately three weeks prior to the first day of classes, and continues through the first week of classes. All music registration, with the exception of Willan Choir, takes place in person through the music office, room 3205 at the Broadway campus. The music office is open from M-F, 9:30-12 and 2-4.

Although most other music courses are open to part-time students, admittance may be subject to a knowledge or skill level assessment and space permitting. Part-time students must also submit official proof of having fulfilled course prerequisites and corequisites. Please note that private lessons, Performance Techniques (all levels) and Demo Production 2216 are not available on a part-time basis.

For those interested in our Orff courses, please contact Susan Everett at severett@vcc.ca.

Waitlist

With the exceptions of Willan Choir, VCC Concert Choir, Basic Theory 1003 and Solfege 1001, all part-time courses are waitlisted until at least the first week of classes. The school will start taking names for waitlists for September music classes on the first business day in August, and for January classes the first business day in December, provided the student meets the individual course requirement(s).

To put your name on the waitlist for any part-time course, please contact music@vcc.ca.

Credits

Course credits earned as a part-time student may be applied toward the diploma and/or degree program once the student has successfully auditioned, provided they are required by the specific major area of study in which the student is enrolled.
