Students from the following organizations, institutions and programs can transfer their credits into the Bachelor of Integrated Studies (BIS) program at UFV.
If you are a student at one of these organizations or institutions and are considering transferring into the BIS or have already done so, you are encouraged to make an appointment with an Integrated and General Studies advisor. The advisor can review how to use your credits to meet program requirements and work with you to identify strategies to complete your Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree.
McDonald's Canada
The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) has partnered with McDonald's Canada to offer McDonald's employees new pathways to pursue post-secondary education. This flexible credit agreement will allow managers with approved course credit to achieve their chosen credential at UFV while still working.
Prospective students who have completed management training courses at McDonald’s, and who meet UFV’s admission requirements, can receive credit toward one of four options at UFV: a Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree, a Hospitality and Event Planning certificate, a Management Skills certificate, or a Diploma of General Studies.
Nicola Valley Institute of Technology
As a graduate from the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT) you can ladder your three-year Chemical Addictions Worker (ChAD) advanced diploma to earn a Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree. Once at UFV, you must earn an additional 30 credits of upper-level UFV courses in order to complete your degree.
If you have graduated from other NVIT programs and would like to transfer to UFV, speak with an Integrated and General Studies advisor in order to determine how your credits will transfer.
NVIT is a British Columbia public post-secondary institution governed by the Indigenous community and serving primarily Indigenous students.
Columbia Bible College
As a graduate of the General Studies diploma program at Columbia Bible College (CBC), you are halfway to completing a UFV Bachelor of Integrated Studies (BIS) degree. You can use courses in your CBC diploma to meet most of the requirements of the BIS.
CBC’s General Studies diploma also requires you to complete a breadth of arts courses that also meet pre-requisites for many UFV courses. As a transfer student, you can often start taking upper-level courses the semester you arrive at UFV.
If you decide to transfer from CBC before completing your General Studies diploma, UFV will count most or all of the credits that you have already completed. To learn more about how your courses transfer and which degree requirements they meet, make an appointment with an Integrated and General Studies advisor.
