Important information for Developmental Studies students
Developmental Studies (DVST) courses are offered in Mathematics and Reading & Writing. All DVST courses have prerequisites and in order to be placed correctly in these courses, you must be assessed before registration or have written permission from a DVST instructor. All prerequisites must be met at the time of registration. A secondary school transcript is not considered a prerequisite for DVST courses.
The assessment consists of written assessments and an interview. Information about Developmental Studies courses is available at the assessment sessions. To make an appointment, please call Developmental Studies at:
| New Westminster Campus | 604-527-5463 |
| David Lam Campus in Coquitlam | 604-777-6196 |
For further information about DVST courses see the DVST web site.
DVST students will be able to register for DVST courses in person or on-line by using the Registration System. All other courses must be added or dropped using the Registration System only.
