Ask me

If I want to receive transfer credit for courses taken elsewhere, what is the process?
Question:

Why do I have to submit a request for transfer credit?
Answer:

You must apply for transfer credit if you wish to:

a. enrol in a course that has a prerequisite that you have completed at another post-secondary institution or
b. use transfer credit for Graduation purposes (associate degree, diploma, certificate or citation)

The following documents are also required:

  • for BC post-secondary institutions: official transcripts
  • for out-of-BC post-secondary institutions: official transcripts and detailed course outlines for the year the course was attended. For further information, please refer to the "submitting detailed course outlines" information sheet.
  • for out-of-Canada post-secondary institutions: originals of foreign transcripts and official detailed course outlines for the year the course was attended must be submitted with official English translations. For further information, please refer to the "submitting detailed course outlines" information sheet.
