If you have taken courses at other post-secondary institutions within the past seven years, you may be eligible to receive transfer credit for your courses at Douglas College. Transfer credit is not done automatically. Students are responsible for initiating the transfer credit process. Once you have applied to Douglas College and received a Douglas College student ID number, you can submit a Transfer Credit Request Form. To request transfer credits:

1. Complete a Transfer Credit Request Form
2. Ensure Official transcripts are received by Douglas College directly from your sending institution within 2 weeks of your Request.

Please note the following:

• All courses on transcripts submitted will be evaluated for transfer credit – you cannot choose specific courses to be transferred.
• Douglas College does not evaluate courses completed at the master’s level and above for transfer credit.
• Failing grades will not receive transfer credit – minimum grade is “D” or “P” for transfer credit purposes.
• Transfer credit is not calculated in your Douglas College GPA.
• Transfer credit will not be done for courses which exceed the College’s time limit policy. Courses must have been completed within the past seven years.
• Douglas College awards transfer credits according to the equivalent course at Douglas College. Unassigned credits may be awarded when the transferred course is related in content and offered at a college/university level, but does not have a direct Douglas College course equivalent and/or only covers a portion of a Douglas College course content.
• If you are requesting transfer credit for courses taken outside of BC, you must include detailed course outlines with your transfer credit request form submission. Outlines must be from the semester/year that you took the course and supplied to you by the institution. For more information, please see Detailed Course Outlines.
• All transcripts and other documents filed in support of your transfer credit request become the property of Douglas College and will not be returned unless they are deemed to be irreplaceable.
• If official documents are issued in a language other than English: We require both the original transcript in the official language of the home country – and an authenticated English translation. Course outlines must also be officially translated to English and authenticated. Failure to provide detailed course outlines for all foreign transcripts submitted will result in your transfer credit not being reviewed.

University Transfer means you start studying for your degree at Douglas and transfer to another school to complete your studies. The other school will recognize the education you took at Douglas.

Check out Douglas College’s Course Catalogue.

A course is considered university-transferable (UT) if it transfers to at least one of British Columbia’s five research universities (UBC, UBC-Okanagan, SFU, University of Victoria, or University of Northern British Columbia).

There are many resources to help you plan, starting with our Advisors. They can answer questions about your courses and how they’ll fit into your education plans. Make time to speak to one – even before you apply to Douglas.

If your questions are about applying to a specific program at another school or transferring courses to another school, please contact the receiving school directly.

To ensure transfer credit is done in time for your registration, your request must be received by the following deadlines:

• April 15th for Fall Semester
• September 15th for Winter Semester
• January 16th for Summer Semester

If you have been admitted to the College after the above deadlines and require courses to be transferred to meet pre-requisites for registration, please contact the appropriate department. You may be able to request a pre-requisite override. Overrides are granted at the discretion of the department.
