Excel-erate Your Breath Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 You should be good - your academic advisor was incorrect, your credits do not need UBC equivalents. They just need to be credits from a university Also you mentioned the number of 120; just a little reminder that that's no longer the magic cutoff needed for AGPA anymore. It is actually 90 credits - as long as you've got 91, you can get 1 credit deleted from your worst year (or if you have 94, then 4 credits; if you have 118, then 28 credits, etc.). Up to 30 total credits can get deleted (maximum) Fast_Layne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to 30 total credits can get deleted (maximum) This is not quite correct. The courses need to be university-transferable/university-level credits , meaning that UBC would recognize the course as a university-level course, even if it doesn’t directly transfer as a specific UBC course. If your courses are taken at a university and can be counted towards a bachelors degree you are probably fine. However, there are a few schools/programs in BC where you can take courses towards a degree that are not university level - for example; there are some programs where you can do a diploma, then transfer that credit towards the first part of a degree. Often times those diploma courses won’t count. OP - if you have any doubt about your courses, you should contact UBC Med admin directly and ask them. You may also be able to use the BC transfer guide - if your courses transfer at all, even as generic levels, e.g. “100-level” or “200-level” then that means they should be good.
