Unsure of Program or Don’t Meet Entrance Requirements? Qualifying Studies (QS) is a great place to start! It is for students who: • want to explore their options before choosing a program • are working toward meeting the entrance requirements of their goal program • have missed an application deadline, but want to begin taking classes at UFV • Entrance requirements

QS Requirements • You can not graduate from QS. It is an “admission category,” not a program. • Think of QS as a way to get started/ a launching pad – but it’s not your end goal. • You must meet the requirements for, and apply into, a certificate, diploma or degree program by the time you complete 30 university-level credits (approximately 10 classes).
