Transfer credit

We provide one of the most generous transfer-credit programs in Canada, putting you one step closer to your post-secondary goals before you even get here.

We'll give you up to one year of transfer credit if you complete a full IB diploma with minimum subject scores. If you're not completing a full IB diploma, your points can still count. We offer course-by-course transfer credit assessment for each Higher Level course completed as long as your scores meet our minimum requirements.

• If you're completing IB and another curriculum (e.g., BC Ministry of Education diploma or US high school diploma), we'll evaluate your application using your best-case scenario between the two curriculums.
• Check out the BC Transfer Guide for the most up-to-date information on how your courses transfer.
