Transfer Credit

Students who have attended other post-secondary institutions
may apply for transfer credit for courses completed. Students
wishing to receive transfer credit are strongly advised to apply for
transfer credit 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.

Up to 75 percent of a Selkirk College Certificate, Diploma or
Associate Degree may consist of transfer credit obtained from
studies completed at another accredited post-secondary
institution.

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. This credit would not be
considered part of your course load. A grade of “P” or better is
required to obtain transfer credit.

BC TRANSFER GUIDE

The BC Council on Admissions, and Transfer (BCCAT) is responsible
for the facilitation of admission, articulation and transfer
arrangements among the colleges, institutes, and universities in
BC. This guide informs students about how courses and programs
transfer between colleges and universities in BC. Please consult
the online BC Transfer Guide at bctransferguide.ca for course
transfer agreements between BC post-secondary institutions,
including Selkirk College.

Courseload

NORMAL COURSELOAD

A normal college course load is equivalent to enrolment in 15
semester credit hours in a University Arts and Sciences program.
Credit hours for other preparatory, trades and career programs
vary. Consult our website for the full-time credit load for each of
our programs.

FULL TIME STATUS

Students applying for a Canada Student Loan/BC Provincial
Loan must maintain full-time equivalent status as defined by the
provincial student assistance program (minimum 60% course
load).

PART-TIME STATUS

Students are considered part-time if they enrol in three or fewer
courses, or if their total number of semester hours or units in
any semester, term or session, are fewer than those specified for
full-time status.

Part-time students are encouraged to enrol in Selkirk College
programs. Some programs are open only to full-time students.
Check with a counsellor for details.

AUDIT

A student who is interested in participating in a credit course but
who does not wish to complete assignments, write examinations,
or receive credit may enrol as an audit student provided space is
available. Not all courses may be audited. Written permission to
audit must be given by the instructor and School Chair. Refer to
the fees section for cost.
