Transfer Credit

Collect course syllabi/outlines for all courses NOT listed in the BC Transfer Guide.

• Save each syllabus as a separate PDF. Do not combine multiple courses into one document.
• The academic year and term must be clearly displayed on the syllabus and they must match the course codes and dates listed on the transcript(s). Course descriptions are not accepted.
• If you are unable to obtain course syllabi, you may be able to receive credit through a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA).
• Syllabi not written in English must have certified English translations attached to original documents.
   

Official transcripts from recognized institutions** must be sent directly to Camosun from the sending institution(s) you attend(ed). Refer to the sending institution for instructions on ordering official transcripts.

Note: 

• Only courses with final grades can be assessed for transfer credit.
• Students who have completed Advanced Placement or IB courses must have their official transcript submitted by the College Board or the International Baccalaureate directly to Camosun College.
• Certified English translations must accompany the original documents if your transcript(s) are not written in English. Please follow the recommendations provided by the International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES).
• A comprehensive Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) may be required. This can take up to an additional 8 weeks, for processing and does not guarantee transferability of courses.
• All transcripts and other documents filed in support of your transfer credit request become the property of Camosun College. Documents will not be returned unless they are deemed irreplaceable.

* Official Transcript: official version of a student’s academic record, bearing the seal of the institution and signed by the Registrar. To be considered official by Camosun College, a transcript must arrive in the original and sealed envelope from the sending institution, or emailed directly from the sending institution to admissions@camosun.ca.

** Recognized institution: An institution, authorized by the recognized government authority for university- or college-level higher education in that jurisdiction to be able to award credentials, including Certificates, Diplomas, Associate and Bachelor Degrees, that could be considered equivalent to a Canadian credential.
 

• If you have more than the allowable number of PDF files to attach, please submit a second form with the remaining documents.
