Equivalency
Course equivalency is the process of receiving
credit, based on documentation, that indicates a student has achieved
the learning outcomes for an approved Grade 11 or Grade 12 course,
outside of the BC school system.
Common situations may involve students
who have moved from another province or country, or who have credentials
from an out-of-school program that school boards or the Ministry have
deemed equivalent.
Which courses qualify for equivalency?
Equivalency is only granted for courses
and programs that meet all of the following requirements:
- the student is able to provide documentation
that the course has been successfully completed
- the course matches approximately 80%
of the prescribed learning outcomes of a Ministry-Authorized Course, Board/Authority
Authorized Course or Locally Developed Course
- the course has been taken at another
institution or educational jurisdiction outside the regular British
Columbia school system
- the course satisfies different learning
outcomes than those of the courses for which the student already
has credit - a student cannot receive credit for two equivalent
courses.
Who can seek equivalency credits?
Students are entitled to have course
work reviewed for equivalency if they are currently:
- enrolled in the school district where
equivalency is being requested, or
- registered with the school district
for home schooling where equivalency is being requested, or
- enrolled in the Distance Education
school where equivalency is being requested.
