Transferring Courses

What? 

Transfer credit will be granted for a course taken at an accredited post-secondary institution recognized by the College provided that the course grade is at least 50% and provided that an equivalent Okanagan College course exists. General or unassigned credit may be granted, at the discretion of the department, in the event that no equivalent Okanagan College course exists.

When? 

Transfer credit will only be evaluated after you accept your Offer of Admission. Unfortunately, we are unable to advise you what transfer credits you are eligible for before you apply and are accepted into a program. Please visit www.bctransferguide.ca for additional information about transfer credits.

The deadlines for requesting transfer credit are:

July 15 for the Fall semester
November 15 for the Winter semester
March 15 for the Summer semester

How?

If you completed college or university level courses within B.C., applying for transfer credit is free of charge.
