Letter of Acceptance
Successful overseas applicants will be issued with a letter of acceptance from the College. This letter must be presented to the nearest Canadian High Commission, Embassy, or Consulate as part of the application for a Study Permit (Student Visa) to study in Canada. This Permit must be obtained outside of Canada. Applicants should allow adequate time for processing of the Permit. Students cannot obtain a Study Permit while in Canada on a Visitor's Visa.
Payment of Fees
On receipt of the letter of acceptance the student is required to pre-pay two semesters' fees. Enrollment at the College is limited and places cannot be guaranteed unless full fees have been received. All fees are in Canadian funds and should be remitted by bank draft, money order, or wire transfer. To pay the application fee by credit card, please apply through the online application facility at http://www.columbiacollege.ca/getting_started.php. We also accept payment of tuition fees by credit card, but only when the cardholder presents the card in person.

Bonding arrangements are in place to protect those who pay tuition fees in advance to Columbia College. The College posts a bond with the B.C. Ministry of Education and makes a similar arrangement with the Private Post-Secondary Commission of B.C. as security for fees paid in advance to the College.
Deferred Acceptance
If a student is for any reason unable to commence his or her studies in the semester for which he or she originally applied, the application fee and tuition fee are transferable to the subsequent semester for a period of one year, providing the College is notified at least 30 days prior to the first day of classes of the semester for which initial admission has been granted. Requests for deferred acceptance received after this date may, at the discretion of the College, still be granted, but in such cases, the College reserves the right to apply penalties to subsequent requests for refunds.
