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.
