Support for students transferring from other institutions
Make new friends at student orientation.
We make it easy to transfer
Whether you come here directly from another post-secondary institution, take a few years off, or go through a bridge program, it's easy to transfer to UVic.
Simply apply online and send in your transcripts. Within a few weeks you'll receive a transfer evaluation with a course-by-course description of how your credit transfers to UVic. Once you've been accepted, an academic adviser will provide hands-on assistance as you enroll in a program.
Nursing mentorship program
Student volunteers are helping make the transition from college easier for new nursing students. Learn about the nurse mentorship program.
Transfer credit info
Eligible transfer credit is usually assigned as part of the admission process. Transfer credit from BC colleges, International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement programs will be assigned according to the BC Transfer Guide. Associate degrees completed at a BC college are guaranteed 30 units of transfer credit.
