Transit between years and institutions requires good academic standing in the program at the most recent institution of residence (UNBC or UBC). At UNBC, this means a GPA of at least 2.0 or 63%. At UBC, this means that an average of 55% and passing grades in at least 65% of the credits taken.
Applying for Transit to UBC for 3rd Year
Students must be in good academic standing, have a Cumulative GPA of 2.00 or greater in required 1st and 2nd year courses, and have successfully completed all ENGR, ENVE, MATH and STAT courses in order to transit to UBC for 3rd year. All transit requirements must be met by April 30th of the year of transit. Students with more than 6 outstanding credits are not eligible to transit.
Students transitioning to UBC and planning to live on campus should apply to UBC Housing as early as possible. A limited number of rooms during the first Winter Session Residence period (September to April) are reserved for ENVE students who apply by the deadline. Students should check their email frequently and respond promptly. Once UBC Housing extends an offer, students will have one week to accept the placement and pay the required deposit.
Applying for Transit to UNBC for 5th Year
In order to be eligible to transit to 5th year at UNBC, students must have completed all required courses, be in good academic standing, have an average of at least 55%, and have passing grades in at least 65% of the credits taken. Students must have all core UBC courses completed including technical electives and may not be missing more than 6 credits, including any missing requirements from UNBC. You may make a request to the UBC Co-Director to take 3 credits of technical electives at UNBC during 5th year if you are not missing more than the aforementioned 6 credits and have not already had 3 credits at UNBC count towards this requirement.
Transit-to-UNBC application forms will be emailed to 4th year students in the Winter term of their 4th year. The form will indicate where students can apply for UNBC Housing if interested.
