  • If you are transferring credits from outside of Canada, you may require an ICES Comprehensive evaluation.

  • If you are transferring AP credits, check the BC Transfer Guide - Advanced Placement to find course equivalencies.
• International Baccalaureate (IB) courses
  • If you are transferring IB credits, check the BC Transfer Guide - International Baccalaureate to find course equivalencies.

To be considered for transfer credit:
