Transfer Credit

Students who have attended a post-secondary institution may apply for transfer credit for courses completed. Depending on the nature of these courses, transfer credit may be used to satisfy Selkirk College program requirements, to provide prerequisites for College courses, or to count as electives toward a certificate or diploma. Up to 75 percent of a Selkirk College Certificate, Diploma or Associate Degree may consist of credit obtained from studies completed at another accredited post-secondary institution. Information about the procedures for obtaining transfer credit is available from the Registrar's office. When transfer credit is to be used as a prerequisite, students should attempt to apply for credit well before the semester in which the prerequisite must be met.

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. Such credit is not considered part of the student's course load. A "P" or better is required to obtain transfer credit. Students who pass the College Board Advance Placement Test may be considered for advanced placement.
