If you took courses outside of UBC or you are transferring to UBC from another institution, you may be able to request transfer credits for your previous coursework.
You'll need to submit your transcript to UBC to process any transfer credit.
If you’re planning on applying to UBC, please make sure you’ve updated your post-secondary attendance record within the Academic History section of your Education Planner BC profile.
UBC Admissions will review your attendance background and connect with you to submit your official transcripts during their review process. You will then be assigned any transfer credit after you’ve been admitted to UBC and you accept the admission offer.
If you are a student in the Faculty of Arts or Faculty of Science and would like to request a re-evaluation of any of your General Credits, please send detailed course outlines to your Enrolment Services Advisor (ESA).
Please note that course re-evaluations may take 4 to 6 weeks or longer, so please plan your course registration accordingly.
For students in faculties other than Arts or Science, please contact an Academic Advisor in your faculty.
If you’re a current UBC student and you’d like to take a course at another institution, you can apply to the Go Global program for exchange opportunities or take courses at UBC Okanagan.
You will need a Letter of Permission from your faculty to study at another institution.
If you’re currently a UBC Vancouver student who was admitted from UBC Okanagan, your UBC Okanagan courses will remain as part of your UBC records.
You can find out how your UBC Okanagan course translates to a UBC Vancouver course with the UBC Equivalency Search Tool.
Non-Degree students, such as those in Visiting, Unclassified, or Access Studies, do not receive transfer credit.
For more information, please visit Non-Degree Studies for Visiting Students.
Students pursuing a second degree at UBC do not receive transfer credits for their previous degree. Please contact an Academic Advisor in your faculty to find out about second degree requirements.
If you completed courses in the summer after you accepted your UBC admission offer, they may be eligible for transfer credit. Once your final grades for the summer term and summer transcript have been received, those credits will be evaluated in September or October.
If you’ ve applied to UBC, please follow emailed instructions and timelines from the Undergraduate Admissions office to submit the transcripts required for your application.
If you’ ve been admitted, already accepted your offer of admission, and all your transcript(s) required for admission has been submitted, please follow instructions on the document submission page and arrange for your final official transcript to be sent to UBC as soon as possible.
Find how courses from your institution transfer to UBC through the BC Transfer Guide.
