To qualify for regional alumni points, you must have graduated from a public B.C. post- secondary institution:
You are not eligible for regional alumni points if you graduated from a private institution. Programs of study that are eligible for regional alumni points must be at least 8 months (two semesters) of full-time equivalent coursework, excluding co-op work terms, practicums and internships.
You are not eligible for these additional points if you completed a language training program (e.g. English as a Second Language (ESL), or English as a foreign language ) or distance education learning program. You may be requested to provide a letter from your educational institution that confirms your program meets this requirement.
