CNC and UNBC to Implement Dual Admission System
December 20, 2007
| The College of New Caledonia and the University of Northern British
Columbia have signed a memorandum of agreement that will see the two
institutions move to a joint admissions process. As a result, students
who are admitted to one institution would automatically qualify for
admission to the other. The agreement commits both institutions to implement a dual admission system by the Fall of 2008. It was signed today by the presidents of both institutions. “We already know that many students transfer between our two institutions,” says Jim Randall, Acting Provost at UNBC. “In fact, UNBC gets more students from CNC than from any other school and many UNBC students take advantage of course offerings at CNC to meet their degree requirements. This agreement further strengthens the relationship between the college and university.” “The college is committed to providing students seamless transition to University,” says Lynn Jacques, Vice-President Academic at CNC. “This partnership builds upon the CNC-UNBC relationship and provides students another pathway to fulfill their educational goals.” CNC and UNBC collaborate on a variety of programs and share a campus in Quesnel. The Nursing program, for example, is jointly delivered by both institutions, and other degree programs allow students to transfer CNC coursework as a block towards completing a degree with UNBC.
