Program Overview
College and Career Preparation enables students to obtain prerequisites for vocational and technical courses, further studies in college or university programs. Students may, in addition to working on prerequisites, obtain the College and Career Preparation Diploma. Students may take one course in another division of the College for credit on the Diploma. Credit may also be granted for courses taken at other institutions, but 50 percent of course work must be taken at Yukon College through the College and Career Preparation program. Students who have some Grade 11 and 12 subjects and wish to use these for credit in College and Career Preparation may do so, under the following criteria:
* courses transferred must be equivalent to those offered by Yukon College, or must be judged by the Dean of Applied Science and Management as acceptable for transfer;
* a maximum of two courses may be transferred onto the diploma level;
* when specific grades are required for Yukon College courses as prerequisites for entering another course, high school courses transferred must also meet these requirements. For example, students who wish to take ENGL 060 must obtain a grade of 65 percent in ENGL 050 or an equivalent academic Grade 11.

Application
Students who are returning to College and Career Preparation within two years of last attendance date need to re-apply at Admissions only if a re-admit letter is needed for a sponsor, or to update personal changes such as mailing address, phone number, or name. New applicants or students who are changing programs must apply at Admissions and receive their letter of acceptance prior to seeing a program advisor. The letter of acceptance must be shown to the program advisor.
Program advising
Acceptance into the program does not guarantee enrollment. An appointment must be made with a program advisor to select courses and register for the term. Contact the Division of Applied science and Management at 867- 668-8850 to arrange an appointment. For courses that are scheduled from September to December (Term I - Fall), program advisors are available from the first week of July to the first day of classes in September. For courses that are scheduled January to April (Term II - Winter), program advisors are available from the first week of December to the first day of classes in January (excluding Christmas break Dec. 25 to Jan. 1). Program advising and registration are done on a first-come, first-served basis.
Sponsorship and tuition
Information on sponsorship is available from a Yukon College counsellor. Students are encouraged to have sponsorship or payment of tuition arranged before meeting with a program advisor. This will enable students to be registered in their courses without delay and purchase textbooks and additional supplies in order to be prepared for the first day of classes. Acceptance into the program does not guarantee a space. Payment of tuition and mandatory fees must be made to guarantee your seat
Additional costs
College and Career Preparation students must purchase their textbooks. Paper and other supplies are the responsibility of the student. Math students will require a scientific calculator. In addition to tuition, students are required to pay a student council fee and a mandatory technology fee.
