Summary:
This transfer agreement provides for transfer to second-year of the Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or the Bachelor of Software Engineering (BSEng) at the University ·of Victoria. Individual course equivalencies, established in the BC Transfer Guide, form the foundation of this agreement. Students at ALEX take most of the first year BEng/BSEng courses, except ENGR 130, ENGR 112, ENGR 120 and ENGR 141 (which are not available at ALEX. Students admitted under this agreement will be placed into the 2nd year of the program but will be missing some 1st year courses, i.e., the agreement does not provide for ‘seamless’ scheduling in the 2nd year programs after transfer. Upon admission, students are expected to work with a UVic academic advisor to plan the coming year, including courses and the timing of their first work term.
Requirements:
Admission to second year of one of the Bachelor of engineering programs requires successful completion of all courses in this agreement1 with a minimum UVic GPA of C+ (or UVic 3.0 or ALEX 2.33) and no courses with grades less than C.
ALEX applicants will compete on an equal footing with UVic students for placement in their chosen program: Biomedical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical or Software, which begin in second year. Where any program is over-subscribed, competitive grades1 are considered. Students whose grades are not competitive to gain admission in their first choice of program will be offered an alternate second year program.
Term:
This transfer agreement and course equivalency chart will be reviewed annually with respect to calendar changes and expires in three (3) years from the date of signing (until 2024).
1 Schedule permitting and on the advice of the Engineering Transfer program’s advisor, students are encouraged to consider other Engineering program required courses, that are beyond those in this agreement. Note that any such courses on a student’s transcript, will also be used to determine program admissibility and the competitive admission GPA. They could affect the admission guarantee.
