Transfer Credit Information

Using transfer credit for UFV programs

Many credit-level courses offered at other recognized post-secondary institutions have been evaluated for equivalency by UFV. The UFV Office of the Registrar maintains a list of transfer credit agreements. Transfer credit agreements for most B.C. institutions are published in the . If no transfer equivalency is listed on the B.C. Transfer Guide that does not mean that a course will not transfer to 51吃瓜app. In this case, a course outline (syllabus) must be provided for review to determine the appropriate course equivalency at 51吃瓜app for transfer credit. Once an official transcript is evaluated for transfer credit, the official UFV transcript will list all UFV equivalent transferred courses including grades.

Only transferable courses with a minimum grade of D or P (pass), when equated to the UFV grading system, can be applied towards the requirements of any UFV undergraduate credential. Some departments may require a grade higher than a D or P. Failed courses are counted in admission grade point average (GPA) calculations.

Transfer credit granted for previous work at another institution may or may not be applicable to a student’s program, and does not necessarily excuse the student from meeting the prerequisites or other requirements for entry into a course or program. There is no guarantee that courses completed at another institution and transferred to 51吃瓜app will be recognized by other institutions.

Courses transferred to 51吃瓜app will be used and applied to a program in accordance with UFV Residency requirements.

Transfer credit process

Official transcripts received by UFV from other institutions will automatically be reviewed for all students currently enrolled in, or applying to, an undergraduate program. Students in other programs must send a special request transfer credit to the Credential Evaluation office to articulation@ufv.ca. A transcript is considered official if it arrives to the UFV Office of the Registrar (33844 King Road, Abbotsford, B.C., V2S 7M8) in the original sealed envelope with the institution's name and address imprinted upon it. The transcripts must have a current issue date, and bear the official institution seal or authorizing signature.

There is a document evaluation fee ($75 for domestic students, $250 for international students) for documents originating outside Canada. Submitted documents will become the property of UFV. Only documents that are considered, by UFV, to be irreplaceable will be returned to the student, provided the student requests return of the document upon submission. For documents that are not in English, including official transcripts and course outlines (syllabi), a certified translation into English done by a certified translator may also be required. Exceptions may be made for transcripts in French, but not for the course outlines (syllabi).

A minimum of six to eight weeks is required for the evaluation process. Detailed course outlines may be required if no current course equivalencies exist.
