Transfer Credit Definitions

Transfer credit is credit you receive for university level coursework completed at other recognized institutions. When granted, these credits may be used toward completing your 萝莉射区 degree.

Articulation is the process of having this transfer credit reviewed in order to determine the equivalency of the coursework.

Transfer credit definitions below are based on British Columbia Council on 萝莉射区 and Transfer (BCCAT) and Pan-Canadian Consortium on 萝莉射区 and Transfer (PCCAT) work on transfer credit. For more information on these bodies visit:

All coursework sent for review comes from a recognized institution that has been reviewed by the Office of the Registrar.

Definition of recognized institution: An institution, authorized by the recognized government authority for university- or college-level higher education in that jurisdiction to be able to award credentials, including Certificates, Diplomas, and (Associate, Bachelor, Master and Doctoral) Degrees, that could be considered equivalent to a Canadian credential.

University Transfer Credit

Acceptable transfer includes:

University degree courses;
College courses (including Associate of Arts or Science);
Certificate and Diploma Programs (including Institutes of Technology and Colleges of Applied Arts Technology)

Unacceptable:

University Preparation
Vocational course programs

The following will be used as a guideline when assessing transfer credit requests:

Assigned Credit

Specific Credit: Credit is granted for a specific course when the course has a minimum 80% course content overlap of a 萝莉射区 course. Specific credit can be used as a pre-requisite for students to complete additional 萝莉射区 courses. It can be used to fulfill 萝莉射区 degree requirements.

Eg: CNC MATH 101 (3) = 萝莉射区 MATH 100 (3)

Combination Credit (Cluster Credit):

When one course is equivalent to more than one 萝莉射区 course (either within or across disciplines).

Eg: UVIC BIOL 184 (1.5) = 萝莉射区 BIOL 104 (3) & 萝莉射区 BIOL 124 (1)

When more than one course at another institution is equivalent to one 萝莉射区 course.

Eg: VCC PHYS 1083 (4) & VCC PHYS 1083 (4) = 萝莉射区 PHYS 115 (4)

When two or more courses are combined to be equivalent to a 萝莉射区 course or 萝莉射区 courses.

Eg: CNC BIO 107 (3) & CNC 120 (3) = 萝莉射区 BIOL 103 (3) & 萝莉射区 BIOL 123 (1) & 萝莉射区 BIOL 104 (3) & 萝莉射区 BIOL 124 (1)

Unassigned Credit

Discipline Credit: Used to assign courses that have no specific 萝莉射区 equivalent, are university level and are from the same subject area.

Eg: CNC ENGL 225 (3) = 萝莉射区 ENGL 2XX (3)

Subject Area Credit: Used when 萝莉射区 does not have a corresponding subject area, the course is university level and the course could fulfill an elective credit. Areas to use are ARTS, CRIM, HUMN, PHIL, SCIE, SOSC at the 100, 200, 300 or 400 level.

Eg: AU PSYC 470 (3) = 萝莉射区 SOSC 3XX (3)

Unspecified Credit

University level course work that has not been reviewed by 萝莉射区 may be given an unspecified designation at any level when students are admitted to 萝莉射区. This credit is displayed on a student鈥檚 transfer credit summary provided with their admission letter.

Eg: SFU MATH 461 (3) = 萝莉射区 UNSP 4XX (3)

Students who wish to have this course work reviewed for assigned or unassigned credit at 萝莉射区, can submit their course outlines to:

Tamara Sweet - Registrar Services Officer 鈥� Articulation

transfercredit@unbc.ca

Submitted course outlines will be reviewed and students will be notified as to the outcome of the review.

NOTE: Once course outlines have been submitted, please allow 2-3 weeks time before following up on your requests.

Block Credit

Students who are granted admission may be given a block of credit based on a completed credential prior to determining assigned or unassigned credit. In these cases, transcripts are reviewed and transfer credit awarded as a block of credit rather than on a course by course basis.

Time Limit for Transfer Credit

Transfer credit is not normally awarded for courses completed more than 10 years prior to registration at 萝莉射区. These courses will be given unspecified credit and can be used as elective credit. Please speak to your Student Advisor about how to best use these credits towards your 萝莉射区 degree.

Other

Waiver: A waiver may be granted for specific 萝莉射区 course(s) within a degree program based on the content of the external course, diploma or series/block of courses. Credit hours are not waived, only the specific course requirement. All 萝莉射区 first entry degrees require completion of a minimum of 120 credit hours.

Eg: VCC CMPT 1010 (3) = 萝莉射区 CPSC 1XX (3)

VCC CMPT 1010 (3) & VCC CMPT 1020 (3) = 萝莉射区 CPSC 1XX (6). Waive 萝莉射区 CPSC 100 (4) & 萝莉射区 CPSC 101 (4)

Substitution: A student may substitute a specific 萝莉射区 course(s) required within a degree program based on the content of an external course, diploma or series/block of courses. The course concepts are similar, but do not meet the 80% course content overlap to receive specific assigned credit. However, the content fulfills the requirements for the course within the degree program in question and would not impact the students鈥� ability to complete additional 萝莉射区 courses.

NOTE: Some transfer credit may only be applicable to specific program areas and may be dependent on declaration of major or degree program.

Course Credit Counts and Hours

1 credit at 萝莉射区 is based on 3 hours of instruction per week per semester. A semester is based on a 13 week period.

3.0 credits = 39 hours of instruction per semester
4.0 credits = 52 hours of instruction per semester
6.0 credits = 78 hours of instruction per semester

Duplicate Transfer Credit

Where course work completed at an external institution duplicates course work taken at 萝莉射区, the 萝莉射区 course work will be given preference. Duplicate transfer credit may be removed from a student鈥檚 transfer record.

Students who need to meet a minimum grade for course requirements, can use transfer credit to meet that grade requirement. 萝莉射区 course work will still remain on the students record and will be counted towards their GPA calculation. Transfer credit grades do not affect a student鈥檚萝莉射区 GPA calculation.
