СÖíÊÓƵ

Can I apply for Advanced Standing?

СÖíÊÓƵ’s Residency Policy requires thatÌýat least 50%Ìýof any program’s requirements be completed at CBU. Both on-campus and online courses (or a combination of the two) can be used to meet this Residency Requirement.

Applicants applying to СÖíÊÓƵare eligible to receiveÌýup to a maximum of 50%Ìýof their program’s requirements (some exceptions apply) through credit awarded for learning experiences external to the university.

All first-year and second-year credit courses offered at all other Canadian universities will be considered for credit at CBU, with the following limitations:

• A minimum of 50% of the courses must be completed at СÖíÊÓƵin a degree, diploma or certificate program, unless stated otherwise in the program descriptions.
• Credit transfer is distinct from admission and decisions with regard to admission to remain the prerogative of CBU.
• The specific program requirements of СÖíÊÓƵmust be met. An otherwise acceptable transfer credit may not be usable in a particular program of study.
• Students must also meet any requirements with regard to grades. External credits will be treated identically with those of СÖíÊÓƵstudents who move from one program to another within the institution. If a grade of 60% is required in a СÖíÊÓƵprerequisite course, for example, then a 60% grade will also be required in a transfer course. A dean, in consultation with the registrar and the department, may approve courses beyond the first and second year levels for credit transfer in degree, diploma and certificate programs, bearing in mind that at least 50% of courses must be completed at CBU.

Do my old СÖíÊÓƵcourses transfer to current courses?

Internal transfer credits are used by historical СÖíÊÓƵstudents who previously graduated and have courses on their historical transcripts that are no longer offered or available at CBU. These students can apply to have their previous credits assessed against available courses, potentially adding credits to a new degree. All internal credit arrangements are administered by the academic schools, in consultation with the Enrolment Services Office. Please contact Enrolment Services. You will not be required to pay a fee.

What if I have equivalent work experience, instead of formal education credit?

You can apply for aÌýPrior Learning Assessment. PLAs are an option for students who feel that their experience and/or training earned outside of a post-secondary institution is equivalent to a course needed for their СÖíÊÓƵdegree.

If you are studying for a Bachelor of Arts Community Studies Program (BACS) degree, students should review the below information:
