Use career services and verify transfer separately

New Westminster, Coquitlam, British Columbia

CareerHUB provides career-service access, while co-op eligibility and university transfer remain separate program decisions.

Use the Career Centre

Douglas's Career Centre offers career-skills workshops, one-to-one career advising, events and resources. Career services are available to current and past academic students, while work-integrated learning programs are limited to current students. CareerHUB uses a Blackboard login for events, workshops and appointments; access does not guarantee a placement or job.

The Career Centre has service locations at New Westminster room N2205 and Coquitlam room A1430. Its current contact page lists cc@douglascollege.ca, 604-527-5889 and weekday hours. Check that page before visiting because locations and hours can change.

Check transfer in each direction

Douglas identifies a course as university-transferable when it transfers to UBC, UBC Okanagan, SFU, UVic or UNBC. The College names the BC Transfer Guide as the place to check course transferability and recommends academic advising for program planning.

Transfer is not automatic: Douglas says receiving institutions may evaluate courses and calculate GPA under their own policies. For prior learning coming into Douglas, current applicants and students with post-secondary courses completed within the past seven years may submit a Transfer Credit Request. Official transcripts must arrive within two weeks; in-progress courses are not evaluated, detailed outlines may be required, and documents not in English need official translations. Outline reviews can take one to three months or longer during peak periods.
