Transfer credits are academic credits you have already earned at another post-secondary institution and that UNBC may accept toward your degree program. These credits can help you accelerate your studies, reduce your course load, and save on tuition costs.

Step 1: Research

Familiarize yourself with UNBC's transfer credit policies. We have specific guidelines regarding what credits can be transferred and how they will apply to your chosen program.

Prepare your documentation like transcripts from all your post-secondary institutions you have attended. Some departments may require detailed descriptions or syllabi of the courses you want to transfer.

Step 3: Academic advising

Meet with an Academic Advisor — they can provide insight on remaining degree requirements and help you strategize your path to graduation.
