Additional information if you're changing campuses
If you are applying to change programs at another campus, please consider the following:
-
Determine how your previously completed courses can meet registration and degree requirements by talking to an Academic Advisor in the program you wish to attend.
-
UBC courses are eligible for credit towards a UBC degree program on either campus. This means credits from a different campus will not be converted to transfer credit but may have a course equivalency.
-
Credits that have an established equivalent between campuses can be used to satisfy course-specific degree requirements.
-
Credits that do not have an established equivalent can be applied to degree requirements as discipline specific or general elective credit.
-
Course equivalencies between campuses
To check if a UBC course has an established course equivalency between campuses, please check the UBC Equivalency Search page.
Go to the UBC Equivalency Search page
If a course does not appear on the Equivalency Search page, then it does not have an established equivalency and may be applied towards degree requirements as discipline specific or general elective credit. Please speak to an Academic Advisor to determine how your courses may be applied.
How to apply
Applying to change your degree program doesn't mean giving up your seat in your current program. You don't give up your current spot until you accept your offer to a new program.
