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.
