In addition to meeting the general entrance requirements for admission to Selkirk College, an applicant must meet the following Ceramics Program entrance requirements:

English at a grade 12 level with a minimum of 60%.
Students whose first language is not English must fulfill the college's English language proficiency requirement.
Submit a completed admission application form and other required documents (i.e., secondary school and any post-secondary transcripts) to the Admissions Office.
Questionnaire
All applicants must complete and submit a questionnaire at least one week prior to their scheduled interview date. The questionnaire helps us to understand the applicant's interest and commitment to the studio program.

Submit the questionnaire using the Kootenay Studio Arts (KSA) online form.

Interview
All applicants are required to participate in an interview with a program instructor from KSA. Telephone interviews will be arranged for those applicants who, because of distance, cannot attend in person.

The interview is an opportunity for applicants to introduce themselves, present their work and discuss the applicant's preparedness for entry into the program and will ask about commitment, goals and expectations, design knowledge, experience and communication skills. It is also an opportunity for applicants to ask any questions they might have about the program and for faculty to recommend upgrading if necessary.

Portfolio
The portfolio is designed to assess your skill level to help instructors increase your chances of success in your studio program. KSA is looking for a demonstration of visual awareness, creativity and technical skill. The portfolio pieces may be of any medium and they need not be specific to studio preference.
