Cross-campus registration allows undergraduate students on the Vancouver campus to take courses at the Okanagan campus generally up to a maximum of 15 credits. Registration and enrolment is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Overview
Eligibility for cross-campus registration
The information below applies to undergraduate programs and courses.
To be considered for registration at the Okanagan campus, Vancouver undergraduate students must have:
- Completed a minimum of 24 credits, with grades
- No failed courses in the most recent 24 credits
- A minimum overall average of 68% on their most recent 24 credits

Cross-campus registration does not apply to graduate students, or students switching to an Okanagan degree program.

- Switching to an Okanagan degree program: To transfer campuses completely, you can apply for a change in campus or faculty through your Student Service Centre (SSC).
How to apply
You will not be able to register for cross-campus courses by yourself. A staff member in Enrolment Services at the Okanagan campus will complete your registration.
Faculties reserve the right to decline a request if the course is in high demand, or if the equivalent course is available at your home campus in either the Summer or Winter Session.
If you are a graduate student, please complete the Authorization and Course Registration Form.
Download and fill out the UBC Vancouver cross-campus request form (pdf).
- Submit the request form to your academic advisor for approval.
- Your academic advisor will then send the form to okanagan.crosscampus@ubc.ca, and it will be forwarded to the appropriate faculty at the Okanagan campus for review.
- You will receive an email notifying you if your request has been approved. You will then be registered by an Okanagan staff member, pending space availability.
