Overview

When you apply for University Transfer program, you will also choose one of four specialties to start: Arts, Business, Education or Science. You are also encouraged to consider taking Indigenous Studies courses. If you decide to change your academic focus in the future, that’s ok. Whichever application choice you make initially, you will be welcome to select courses from any of the four categories, as long as you have the appropriate course prerequisites.

Whether you want to take one or two courses at a time, or register for full-time studies with four or five courses each semester, the University Transfer program gives you the freedom to design your own timetable. Generally speaking, you’ll probably start by taking 100-level courses (first-year) and follow up with corresponding 200-level (second-year) courses. You are also encouraged to consider adding the IST courses to the list of options.

If you plan to continue your studies at an out-of-province university, you’ll need to get your transcript assessed by that institution. Make sure you consult with the university regarding their admission criteria, GPA requirements and application process to help you plan your transfer program at Camosun.
