Substitute courses

[emdee]

Under the FAQs it says that you can substitute your pre-req courses if you send in descriptions/course outlines of the courses.. do you know how that works?

You mail them through the mailbox system and ask if you can sub one course for another. For many courses at Canadian schools they will already know if it transfers or not. Just give them the course number and institution and they will tell you.

 

If you're taking an unusual course at an unusual school, they may require a syllabus, but I can virtually guarantee you that they have had the request before.

on a related note, if we have a course listed on their website from one of the universities in BC as a prerequisite course, can we substitute a higher level courses in the same area which we might have done better in, provided it meets the requirements?

No, they are specific that it will be the first attempt that satisfies the pre-req.

 

I don't have time to link to it, but it's there.
