Entrance requirements
You can become a General Studies student if you have
completed B.C. secondary school graduation or
equivalent, or if you are 19 years of age or older
before the first day of classes.
How to apply
1. Submit the application fee along with your UCFV
application for admission form to the Admissions and
Records (A&R) office. Application forms are available
from any A&R or Student Services office. See the program
information charts in the Admissions and Registration
section for a complete list of application dates and
general information.
Additional documents required for a complete
application:
Proof of graduation (an official high school transcript)
if you are under 19 and no longer in school.
A transcript is recommended for students over 19, in
order to meet course prerequisites.
No documents need to be submitted by students currently
in Grade 12.
You must show that you meet the prerequisites for each
course before you begin classes, or at the time of
registration.
If a Composition Placement Test (CPT), Math Placement
Test (MPT), Computing Skills Placement Test (CSPT),
College & Career Prep assessment (CCP) score is
required, please make arrangements to write it early in
the year.
2. Upon admission to UCFV, you will be provided with
registration information.
You should contact a Student Services educational
advisor if you require assistance in choosing your
courses.
3. For students under 19 years of age, admission is
conditional upon B.C. secondary school graduation. Proof
of graduation is due at the end of the first week in
August for the Fall semester. B.C. Grade 12 students can
arrange at their schools to have transcripts sent
directly to UCFV.
It is essential that you provide your Provincial
Education Number (PEN) on the application form.
Priority admission
Applications for priority admission for Fall semester
are accepted from April 1-April 30 only. See the
Priority Admission information in the Admissions and
Registration section.
B.C. secondary school graduation or equivalent
For information about equivalents to B.C. Grade 12
graduation, please see the B.C. Secondary School
Graduation or Equivalent information in the Admissions
and Registration section.
Course selection and transferability
You may register for any course for which you meet the
course prerequisites. Prerequisites are listed for each
course in the Course Description section of this
calendar. Be sure to consult an educational advisor in
Student Services if you are planning to transfer courses
to another university, or check transfer information in
the B.C. Provincial Transfer Guide, available on the
internet at www.bccat.bc.ca. We also suggest you pick up
your free copy of the Transfer Tips handbook available
from Student Services or online through www.bccat.bc.ca.
Some courses carry transfer credit only to certain
universities, and careful planning is important. Courses
numbered 300 and 400 will be considered for transfer on
a course-by-course basis by the university to which you
are transferring.
For further information on transferring credit, please
see Guidelines for Transfer to Other Universities, in
the Transfer of Credit section.
General Studies diploma requirements
Although there are no specific entrance or course
requirements for this option, you may request a General
Studies diploma upon successful completion of any 60
credits of course work with a cumulative grade point
average of 2.0. You must apply for graduation by
submitting a Request for Graduation form, available at
the Admissions and Records office, by April 1.
Continuance in General Studies
Failure to maintain a 2.0 GPA will result in loss of
registration priority for subsequent courses.
