DOING ENGINEERING OVER TWO YEARS 

Neither UBC nor UVic demand that students do the entire program in One year. They only require that all the courses be done and the minimum GPA be achieved and a student will be called "Engineering Transfer" and given all the benefits and guarantees of admission. Many students choose to take two years at UFV and transfer then. These students often take additional courses, typically second year Math courses, and then transfer.

(Note: UBC rules base the transfer GPA on the one year prior to transfer, and they expect applicants to be full time students.)

There are multiple possible schedules for doing the program at UFV over two years, but the following is quite typical. Please note that the first year Math and Physics should be done as soon as possible to keep the options in second year open.

The ETP is designed to be completed in one year. However, you can choose to take two years at UFV and take all courses of the Engineering Transfer program along with your second-year math and additional electives before you transfer. But doing it this way means you will not have reserved seats in the program. The following is an example of a two year schedule based on courses that are always offered in those semesters. Additional courses are occasionally scheduled to allow additional flexibility; details are e-mailed to applicants each year:
