Open Admission vs. Selective Entry Admission
All programs have a basis of admission or an "admission type" upon which your application is assessed. At Kwantlen, there are two admission types for undergraduate programs: open admission and selective entry admission.
UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION TYPES
What is Open Admission?
Programs with open admission have admission requirements that are the same as the general university admission requirements. Registration for open admission programs can be either open registration, or limited enrolment (meaning there are limited number of spaces, or seats).
What is Selective Entry?
Selective Entry admission means an undergraduate program has additional program admission requirements, over and above the University’s general admission requirements. Registration for selective entry programs can be either open registration, or limited enrolment (meaning there are limited number of spaces, or seats).
