another approach you can take is to make advising appointment directly with ubc commerce. you DO NOT have to be a ubc or commerce student to do that.

Is the email address you told me right? Is it bcomquestions@sauder.ubc.ca?
I have sent a email to them two days before,but they still haven't give me a reply.
Are they very busy?I want to transfer to UBC in 2006 Summer.Does Commerce accept students in Summer?I want to enter UBC commerce for the second ,third ,and forth year study,if my transferable credits is more than 30credits and less than 60 credits,is that OK?

this is weird because i just sent them an email asking for graduation requirement on tuesday. they replied me on wednesday morning. maybe you should send them another email. they usually reply emails really quick.

i don't think commerce accepts any students in summer.

commerce only accept 2nd and 3rd year transfer students, so transferring as a 4th will not work. furthermore, colleges do offer al the required 3rd year courses from ubc.

you can transfer with 30-60 credits. the main thing they look at is what required courses you have completed. if you completed all the first year requirements, you will get accepted as a 2nd year student, and vice versa for 3rd. you really need to plan your courses carefully because if you are a 2nd year student at ubc, ubc usually doesn't let you take any 3rd year courses even you have fulfilled the prerequisites. (the main reason is 2nd year register later than 3rd year, so 3rd year courses get filled up.)

again, i think you should contact them directly. maybe you can make an appointment with an advisor and ask him/her directly. :)

I think I can't transfer to ubc for third and forth year studying .Instead,I can only transfer to ubc for second ,third,and forth year studying.After I checked BC transfer guide ,I found that Commerce 290 ,291 ,295,297 are not transferable with courses in my college.Commer 292,293,294 are transferable between my college and UBC.In this case, I can't fulfill the second year requirement for entering the third year commerce studying.You told me that I should plan my courses carefully.This term is my first semester in Kwantlen college,I have choosen Math 1140(equal to Math104 at UBC),Econ1150(Econ101 at UBC),Physics 1100,and Japanese1100.Is that reasonable?Please give some suggestios.Someone told me that first-year English is very difficult,is that true.I plan to study English 1100(equal to English112 at UBC)this Summer.I think you must have stuied first-year English before you entered UBC.Do you think it is difficult?Today,I completed my third LPI test.Because in Kwantlen, I nee LPI with 30 to study English 1100.(My second LPI score is 26)

Sorry, I forgot asking another question.I check BC transfer guide, I was confused by following saying: Kwantlen MRKT 1199= UBC COMM 2nd (3), exempt 396.What does" exempt 396" mean?

[CK]

kwantlen does not offer all the required courses to ubc. that's why i stayed at kwantlen for only 4 terms, and i took the other required courses elsewhere.

about if the courses you are taking are reasonable or not, i don't really know how to comment. i think it depends on several things, such as your planned graduation date and goals.

i really don't think english is that hard if you work hard. if you did poorly on 1st yr english, i suggest you to transfer as a 3rd yr since ubc only evaluates your 2nd yr core commerce courses and latest 30 credits when you transfer as a 3rd yr.

exempt is just a fancy word for ubc to say that the transferred course is not exactly the same as the ubc course, but you will still receive credit for the ubc course. thus, it basically means mrkt 1199 = ubc comm 396.

i will give you a breakdown of the courses i took at college.

One of my classmate's friends transfered to UBC last September.She entered UBC with TOFEL and no more than 27 credits as a first-year student.Will that be smoothly transfered to Commerce at UBC? Someone suggest me that I should enter other faculties or general studies at UBC, then declare the program.Is that difficult?
