To qualify for third or fourth year entry into the BCS Degree Program

It is anticipated that not all students seeking third or fourth year entry will meet all of the first and second year requirements. Course deficiencies must be addressed prior to admittance to third or fourth year, or during the first semester of study in the BCS degree program. This can be done through a number of mechanisms including:

• Completion of missing courses
• Demonstration of desired outcomes via Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)
• Course Challenge

Until deficient areas are completed, students will be provisionally enrolled in the BCS program.

Articulation Arrangements with Other Programs

TRU's 2 year CIST diploma program, and most other 2 and 3 year IT diploma programs, are fully transferable to BCS. Most other post secondary programs are transferable to BCS.
