I chose ILSC’s University Pathway Program to prepare
me to get into a Canadian university. The University
Pathway advisors helped me to identify and correct
my difficulties in English, and I found this program
also really improved my writing skills, something
that is difficult for foreigners because English has its
own unique writing structure. Because of the skills I
learned in the University Pathway Program, I feel very
prepared to start my studies in Political Science at the
University of Prince Edward Island.

Seneca was one of the best experiences of my life; it brought me closer to my ultimate goal: that of being a more
accomplished individual. The program has given me the knowledge and credentials to obtain experience in
well recognized companies of the beauty industry. I never thought I would achieve so much in two years. At

a student has successfully completed an approved college education program. There are two

types of DCS/DEC’s
application deadline
Three months prior to start date
1) Pre-university Diploma of College Studies: A two year program, roughly equivalent
to Grade 12 + the first year of an associate’s degree. Students wishing to go on to a
university education should begin with a pre-university Diploma of College Studies.
2) Technical Training Programs: Three years in length for a total of six sessions, these
programs allow students to directly access the work place. In some cases, students who
complete a Technical Training Program may choose to pursue university level studies.
ACS/AEC—Attestation of College Studies / Attestation d’études collégiales
AEC programs are part of continuing education and are destined primarily for adults who wish
to add value to their skill set or reorient their career. Based on DEC program curricula, AEC
programs do not have general education courses like French, English or Philosophy. AEC’s are
generally more flexible than DEC or DEP programs. Often offered during the evening, flexible
class times allow students to maintain their professional endeavors and study at the same time.
DVS/DEP—Vocational diploma of vocational studies / diplôme d’études professionnelles
A DEP program can last anywhere from 600 to 1800 hours and prepares students to train in
a profession to directly enter the job market. A DVS/DEP can lead into a Technical Training
Program (DCS/DEC), but typically it is geared to get you straight into the workforce.
Bachelor’s degree­
In Québec, a bachelor’s degree takes a minimum of 3 years to complete. Students must typically
complete a pre-university Diploma of College Studies (DCS/DEC) before taking a bachelor’s
degree, or in some cases, may enter a bachelor’s degree program after completing a Technical
Training Program or DVS/DEP.
Master’s Degree or Doctor’s degree
Graduate degrees work similarly to other provinces in Canada, and students must have a
bachelor’s degree to apply.

plan on transferring to a four-year university program to study international relations. I am proud of being a

I first came to Santa Barbara to study English when I was nineteen years old. As I was taking classes, I realized that
I wanted to extend my stay and I decided to continue my studies here at SBCC. The SBCC campus is beautiful,
and the weather in Santa Barbara is just great. My major is Business Administration, and I am currently finishing
my general education requirements. After that, I am planning to transfer to UCSB and to finally get my BA degree
in Business. Studying at SBCC has been a good experience. Santa Barbara City College offers everything you need to
succeed and to reach your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Seamless Entry” mean?
Seamless entry means that no outside language tests are required to enter you chosen partner school. Successful graduates of ILSC’s
University Pathway program will be able to enter directly into their chosen partner school once they have completed the University
Pathway program. For some of our US partners, students will take a placement assessment on their first day; however, ALL of our partners
offer seamless entry. That’s right, no IELTS or TOEFL needed!
Who is a good University Pathway Program candidate?
Any student who has a desire to study at a North American, or Australian college, TAFE or university, the willingness to work hard in their classes,
and a GPA that meets the application requirements of their chosen partner school is an ideal candidate for the University Pathway program.
How does the Pathway Program prepare you for college or university?
Students will take courses to develop their academic English skills. Students also take University Preparation I and II, which are taught as
if they were true university courses. Students will learn note-taking skills, research skills, essay writing and correct citation formats. The
University Pathway program will help you develop a much broader skill set than simply focusing on passing an IELTS or TOEFL test. By the
time you start a program at your chosen partner school, you’ll have all the tools you need for success!
What does it cost?
There are no additional fees for the University Pathway program, just your regular ILSC course fees.
Do I get a certificate at the end of the program?
Yes, you will receive an official ILSC University Pathways Certificate when you complete the program.
How long does it take to get an acceptance letter from my college / university of choice?
Once we send off your completed application package you can typically expect to receive your conditional acceptance letter within
5–10 business days.
How much money do I have to pay when I first apply to the partner college / university?
All partner schools require a non-refundable application fee, usually around $100. Some schools will also require the first semester’s
tuition as a deposit. Ask your counsellor or the University Pathway team to find out!
How do I know that this program really works?
Our University Pathway Program has been growing steadily since it began several years ago. Each year we send dozens of students to
their college or university of choice and our success rate is very high!
How do I apply?
Speak to your agent or ILSC counsellor and sign up as a “University Pathway Student.” Make sure to apply for your chosen partner school
when you apply to ILSC. To apply for your chosen partner school you will need: the partner school application form, a translated and notarized
diploma and/or transcripts of senior secondary school and/or any other post-secondary education you have completed, and a copy of your
passport. Some schools and programs may require additional documents. Your agent or an ILSC counsellor will help you complete all of the
necessary paperwork to apply for the University Pathway program, and a partner college, TAFE or university of your choice.
