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 either the New Westminster Campus 604-527-5463 or the David Lam Campus in Coquitlam 604-777-6196.
