You must meet all of the following requirements if you’re planning to change your degree program at the same campus or switch to another campus:
If you are applying to change to a program at another campus, talk to an Academic Advisor in the program you wish to attend. You must determine how your previously completed courses can meet registration and degree requirements.
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 be equivalent to credits for a similar course, also known as course equivalency.
Use the UBC Equivalency Search tool to check if a UBC course is equivalent between campuses.
If a course does not appear on the Equivalency Search tool, then it does not have an established equivalency and may be applied towards degree requirements as discipline-specific or general elective credits. Please speak to an Academic Advisor to find out how your credits may be applied.
Visit the Applicant Service Centre and log in with your CWL. You can then select the “Re-admission/Change Program” option and will be asked to follow next steps.
Applying to change your degree program doesn’t mean giving up your seat in your current program. You do not give up your current spot until you accept your offer to a new program.
When you receive your offer on the Applicant Service Centre, you will be provided with a specific deadline to accept your offer by. You’ll be required to pay an acceptance deposit to accept your offer.
For any degree planning questions in your new program, you can connect with academic advising.
For information about degree requirements, program planning, or course registration, contact your Academic Advisor:
For questions regarding applying to change programs or financial planning and support, please connect with your Enrolment Services Advisor.
