Transfer Credit

When applicants are admitted to Selkirk College, they may request that their official post-secondary transcripts from other institutions be evaluated to determine academic course equivalency towards Selkirk College courses.

Students who wish to apply for transfer credit must do so at the time of application to the College by submitting a transfer request form, their transcripts and attach other relevant documentation.

Official transcripts will be assessed by the appropriate School Chair, in consultation with the discipline expert, and on their recommendation, transfer credit may be granted by the Registrar.

Students who have attended a post-secondary institution may apply for transfer credit for courses completed. Depending on the nature of these courses, transfer credit may be used to satisfy Selkirk College program requirements or to provide prerequisites for College courses. Up to 75 percent of a Selkirk College Certificate, Diploma or Associate Degree may consist of credit obtained from studies completed at another accredited post-secondary institution. Information about the procedures for obtaining transfer credit is available from the Registrar's Office. Students wishing to receive transfer credit are strongly advised to apply at the time of application to the program. When transfer credit is to be used as a prerequisite, students need to apply for credit well before the semester in which the prerequisite must be met.

Transfer credit accepted by Selkirk College may not be accepted by another institution, nor for the purpose of Canada Student Loans or BC Provincial Loans. Such credit is not considered part of the student's course load. A "P" or better is required to obtain transfer credit.
