Graduation Requirements

Students must achieve a minimum of 60% in a course to be able to apply the course to the B.S.N. Degree. A minimum cumulative grade average of 65% for all courses required in the B.S.N. Degree must be obtained in order to graduate.

Taking Non -UBC Courses While Registered in the B.S.N. Program

The program must ensure the professional competency of its B.S.N. graduates; therefore, practice courses and some theory courses must be completed at the UBC Okanagan campus. Students are advised to seek academic advising prior to registering in courses outside of UBC Okanagan that they wish to apply to their B.S.N. degree.

Students require a letter of permission from the School of Nursing to register in most other academic institutions. On completion of the course students are responsible for submitting an official transcript as well as a request form to have the credits assessed and applied to their degree.

Note: For further information please refer to the B.S.N. Program Procedure for Taking Non- UBC Courses While in the Nursing Program located on the School of Nursing website.
