Program Advisors

If you have questions about meeting your degree requirements or wish to discuss exchange courses, the advisors identified for your faculty/department are familiar with UBCO degree structures and Go Global and will be happy to assist you as much as they can.

What they do:

  • Approve courses after you have been matched to a partner University, not before you've applied to Go Global
  • Review Partner University Courses
  • Look at your UBCO degree requirements
  • Determine what courses you will need to take when you return

What they will not do:

  • Will not review an extensive list of courses. Aim for 6-7 courses per term abroad.
  • Will not approve courses immediately. Please allow time for approvals.

When meeting with your advisor, please come with the following information:

  1. As much information as you can find for each course you plan on taking (course description, URL, etc.)
  2. Credit equivalency for your partner university.
    • Credit equivalency is found on the partner page (i.e. 6 ANU credit points = 4 UBCO credits)
  3. Length of your exchange (i.e. 1 term, full year, etc.)

The following Programs REQUIRE that you approve your courses prior to leaving on Exchange:

  • Management
  • Human Kinetics
  • Engineering
  • Science

    ***It is highly recommended for Art/Fine Arts if you have specific credit or year level needed (i.e. 3rd year at the partner does not always mean upper level at UBCO)
