College of the Rockies, a publicly funded, provincially accredited community college, is located in the southeastern corner of British Columbia, Canada. Surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, the College is in the centre of a world-famous outdoor recreation environment. The region features famous hot springs resorts, beautiful forests and some of Canada’s finest skiing/snowboarding areas. All with no crowds! The College of the Rockies’ main campus is in the city of Cranbrook (population 20,000). This small, safe, affordable and very friendly city is located a one hour drive from the United States border and a three hour drive from scenic Banff. Cranbrook’s airport has daily flights from Vancouver and Calgary via Air Canada.

| English Requirements |
Students with TOEFL 550 or more (or IELTS 6 or CBT 213 or iBT 80) will receive an unconditional letter of acceptance and may proceed to a full academic load of 5 courses per semester. Students who have completed English 12/90 in Canada or completed our English Language Training program also meet the English requirements for academic programs.
Students with no TOEFL or TOEFL less than 550 will receive a conditional letter of acceptance. Students who are conditionally accepted must take our English Language Assessment when they first arrive. The results of this test will determine if a student must first complete English Language Training or if the student can proceed directly to a full academic load. Students who need English Language Training are allowed to take one to three academic courses per semester with their English, depending on their language level. |
