Transfer agreements

UBC ENGINEERING

The Engineering Transfer Program provides students enrolled in the Douglas College Engineering Foundations Certificate (EFC) program transfer credit and makes them eligible for admission into the second-year of the Engineering degree program at the University of British Columbia-Vancouver (UBCV). The Engineering Foundations Certificate (EFC) program provides transfer credit and guaranteed admission into the second-year of the Engineering degree program at the University of British Columbia-Okanagan (UBCO).  

Under the terms of this agreement, EFC students complete courses toward the UBC Engineering program over two consecutive semesters at Douglas College, then transfer into the second-year of the UBC Engineering degree program for the start of the following academic year.  Note that the number of seats for this transfer pathway to UBCV is limited; it may be possible for UBCV to accept additional students depending on demand during any given year. There is no restriction on the number of seats for transfer to UBCO.

Note that this is a challenging and demanding transfer pathway that leaves no time for part-time jobs or other commitments. Only attempt this transfer pathway if you are an academically strong student who intends to devote all your time to your studies. Students looking to take two years to transfer should instead consider the guaranteed transfer pathway between the Douglas College Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program and UBC Engineering.

  1. Students must take the following twelve courses from the EFC program, including ENGL 1130, ENGR 1190, and PHYS 1170. All courses must be completed at Douglas College.
  2. Students must have a GPA of at least 3.1 on the required pathway courses at Douglas College for transfer to UBCV; students must have a GPA of at least 2.8 on the required pathway courses for transfer to UBCO.
  3. All required pathway courses must be taken in two consecutive semesters starting in the Fall semester of a given year academic year. Students starting the program in any other semester are ineligible for this transfer pathway.
  4. Students must apply to UBC Engineering for admission by the application deadline during the academic year in which they are completing this one-year program. The admission offer cannot be deferred to a later year.
  5. Students must meet all other general requirements for admission to UBC.

For UBCV, note that the admission offer refers only to admission to the Faculty of Applied Science. Once a student is admitted, there is another competition for program specialization (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, etc.). Admitted students are ranked and assigned to a specialization according to their stated preferences. If a student's first choice of specialization fills, then the student is put into their second or third choice of specialization. There is no further competition process for transfer to UBCO.

Competitive Entry Pathway: Students who do not meet the UBC Engineering Transfer Program requirements may be eligible to enter the UBC Engineering degree program based on the existing college transfer criteria for admission: https://engineering.ubc.ca/admissions/undergraduate/transfers.  

Specifically, students must have the equivalent of at least 27 UBC credits of first-year UBC Engineering program courses (9 Douglas College courses) at the end of the Winter semester in order to be considered for transfer to second-year engineering for the following September. Courses taken in the summer semester will not be used for determining admission into second-year engineering, but will be counted for transfer credit.

The GPA admission requirement for competitive transfer is set by UBC Engineering and is typically in the 3.5-3.7 GPA-range. Note that transfer via this pathway is highly competitive; students should instead consider the guaranteed transfer pathway between the Douglas College Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program and UBC Engineering, which offers a reduced entrance GPA: https://www.douglascollege.ca/programs-courses/catalogue/programs/DPEGESS
