Request Transfer Credit/Substitution/ Exemption/Prior Learning Assessment
All requests for transfer credit, substitution, and exemption must be supported by an official transcript. For courses completed at out-of-province institutions, detailed course outlines must also be submitted. The University also reserves the right to request detailed course outlines for some courses taken within British Columbia.
Requests for transfer credit are processed by the Registrar's Office, based on transfer agreements outlined in the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer online Transfer Guide (www.bccat.bc.ca). Requests for substitution and exemption are processed by the Registrar’s Office in consultation with the appropriate faculty area.
Requests for transfer credit, substitution and exemption can be made by mail, by fax, or in person at the Registrar's Office. Processing time will vary, but in general, requests are processed within two weeks. There is no fee required to request transfer credit, substitution or exemption; however, no course standing will be issued if any University account is outstanding.
Requests for prior learning assessment should be made in person through the specific faculty area. The applicable course tuition and any exceptional fees must be paid in full prior to the assessment of the request. No course standing will be issued if any University account is outstanding.
