Graduates of the UCC Respiratory Therapy Program (two didactic years and one clinical year) or the UCC Medical Laboratory Technology Diploma Program (one year of science, one didactic year and one clinical year) can receive a block transfer of 60 credits towards their B.Sc. degree. Graduates of the UCC Animal Health Technology Diploma Program (two didactic years) can receive a block transfer of 45 credits towards their B.Sc. degree.
To complete a B.Sc. degree, students receiving 60 block transfer credits will be required to complete between 63 and 72 additional credits, depending upon the specific Major requirements. Students receiving 45 block transfer credits will be required to complete considerably more than 72 additional credits. Some first and second year courses may need to be taken to satisfy science breadth requirements and to satisfy prerequisites for specific upper level courses.
Students wishing to pursue this option should discuss their program with the B.Sc. Advisor. Please make an appointment by calling (250) 828-5454.
Graduates of other diploma programs, including diploma programs from institutions other than UCC, will be assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine the number of credits that can be granted in a block transfer arrangement. Typically graduates of a program of three years duration (after grade 12) will be granted 60 credits of block transfer. Graduates of two year programs (after grade 12) may receive up to 45 credits, depending upon the program. See the B.Sc. Advisor for further details.
Graduates of diploma programs from other institutions must apply well in advance if they wish to be considered for block transfer credit. Applications must include a transcript(s) (or interim transcript) from the other institution(s), detailed course outlines for all courses taken at that institution(s), and statement of what major the applicant intends to pursue at UCC. This information must be submitted no later than March 31 for entry the following September and no later than August 31 for entry the following January. It is to the student's advantage to apply early.
The block transfer credits are awarded specifically for credit towards a UCC B.Sc. degree. UCC cannot guarantee that any or all of these credits will be recognized by other institutions to which the student may subsequently apply.
