Douglas degree program

Benefits
- Flexibility: you can move back and forth between institutions with full support from both sides
- Convenience: Registrar's Offices at Douglas College and SFU will automatically track your progress at the end of each term: no need to keep track of paperwork.
- Support: designated advisors will ensure you receive the best information possible about your degree requirements and course options
- More services: including U-Pass, medical/dental coverage, student housing availability (if enrolled in a sufficient number of SFU courses per year)
Program details
Note: if you have completed more than 45 university transfer credits, you are not eligible for this program.
This partnership program will allow you to move freely and easily between both institutions to complete the requirements of a Bachelor degree from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Environment or the Faculty of Science at SFU. You'll get the best of both worlds — enjoy the unique benefits of studying in both a smaller college environment and a larger university setting.
This is not the same as transferring from Douglas to SFU. Transferring usually involves leaving a college to attend university and submitting a request to the university to give you credit for college courses. Once you transfer to university you cannot go back to the college to complete additional credits without permission. The SFU - Douglas degree program is much more flexible.
Areas of study
The partnership degree program only includes academic disciplines within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Environment and the Faculty of Science at SFU. For a complete list of eligible departments, schools and programs, please visit the Faculty websites.
Application process
Although this is a joint degree program, applications for admission are processed through SFU. Apply online through the SFU Future Students site.
