Overview

Coquitlam College’s Vancouver campus is on Virtual Way. Its English Studies programme serves learners from beginner level through university preparation. The programme suits students who want structured work on writing and reading before moving into further study. Use the Vancouver campus address when checking transport, as the college name also refers to the neighbouring city. The Vancouver address is 300–2920 Virtual Way. The college also lists university transfer, secondary study and an associate degree separately from English Studies. This can suit a learner who wants to develop academic reading and writing before deciding on further study, but the English Studies placement should be confirmed independently from admission to a later programme. Students selecting electives should check which are open at their assigned level and ask about the campus timetable before committing to housing. The published campus postcode is V5M 0C4.

Courses

Writing and reading are required at each level. Intermediate and advanced learners can select two electives from four choices. The electives combine speaking and listening with written work around specific topics. Ask the college how placement determines the course load and whether the planned intake runs at the Vancouver campus. At intermediate and advanced levels, the elective choices add topic-based oral and written work. Ask how many classes you take at placement and whether the electives run that term.

Fees

The international tariff lists CAD 1,260 per English Studies course, or CAD 5,040 for four courses. Ask the college for the complete term invoice, including any registration, materials or insurance costs. The tuition is priced by course. Vancouver and Burnaby host-family accommodation is listed separately at CAD 1,450 monthly, with a CAD 200 homestay application fee. Confirm which daily or monthly charge applies to 28 nights. The published four-course figure is based on the per-course rate and should be matched to the load assigned by the college. It does not establish the cost of a short four-week booking. A monthly host charge plus the homestay application fee would come to CAD 1,650 before the separately listed airport pickup, assuming the Vancouver or Burnaby rate applies. Ask whether the host bills a calendar month or another period and how extra days are priced. Confirm whether registration, insurance and any materials appear on the college invoice.

Accommodation

The college lists different host-family rates for Vancouver and Burnaby and for Coquitlam. Vancouver and Burnaby’s monthly rate includes three meals per day and is paid directly to the host. Airport pickup is listed separately at CAD 120. Ask for the host location, route to Virtual Way and exact stay dates before choosing a housing zone. The housing zone affects both rent and travel to class. A Coquitlam placement has a separate tariff, so check which area is assigned before using the Vancouver or Burnaby example. Confirm move-in payment with the host, as monthly rent is paid directly to the household. Request the move-in date in writing.
