Transfer Credits
Transfer Credits
If you have been admitted and accepted UBC’s offer of admission, and have received transfer credits, you may be eligible to use the credits to fulfill requirements in the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) degree. Transfer students are required to satisfy all course requirements for which they have not received credit. Refer to the BCom degree requirements.
If you have not received credit for the following courses, you should plan on completing COMM 105, COMM 196 or COMM 202 when admitted to the program. Not completing these courses can delay your degree progression.
Transfer credits awarded at another institution or at UBC-O will be reassessed for the UBC-V BCom program.
Note that at least 50% of the program requirements must be completed while enrolled at UBC Sauder (i.e. minimum 61 credits in BCOM; 64 credits in BUCS). See Requirements to Receive a Degree or Diploma. Additionally, all upper-level (300- and 400-level) core requirements must be completed while enrolled in the program.
Where to View Transfer Credits
You can view your credits on your Workday Student account by following the pathway Workday Student account > Academics > Transfer Credits with the exception of transfer students admitted with a prior degree. Prior degree holders will receive a separate assessment from UBC Sauder.
