Alexander College does not generally accept courses taken outside of the BC Transfer System for credit. In exceptional circumstances, students may request to have coursework from an accredited institution evaluated by the Registrar.
1. Prepare the following documentation:
- Official International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES) Comprehensive Report
- Completed Transfer Credit Request Form
- Official transcript
- Course outline (also called course syllabus) for each requested course. Course outlines must be emailed (soft copy) in a secure file format (e.g. .pdf)
2. Submit your application documents in person to the Office of the Registrar at Burnaby Campus, or by email to: transfercredit@alexandercollege.ca Please note that an Officer will only verify that all required documents are present, but will not review the documentation until the evaluation fee has been paid. If all required documents are present, an Officer will sign the form, and instruct you to submit payment of the course evaluation fee.
3. After the form has been signed by the Office of the Registrar, submit the form to the Student Financial Services Office and pay the course evaluation fee. Return a copy of the payment receipt in person to the Office of the Registrar, or by email to: transfercredit@alexandercollege.ca
4. Wait for processing. You will be contacted by email if more information or documentation is required. If you are unable to provide the requested additional information within 90 days of the original request submission date, evaluation of the associated course will be cancelled without refund.
Course evaluation requests will normally be completed within 6-8 weeks from the date that all documentation was submitted. It is responsibility of the student to ensure that credit transfer/course evaluation requests are submitted at least 8 weeks prior to the posted registration deadline.
