Post-Secondary Decisions
College vs University vs Other Institutes (eg. art & design or trades)
Some things to consider when making this extremely personal decision:
-goals (general courses? work placements or experience?)
-location (small town vs. big city; proximity to support networks)
-preferred learning environment (class size, teaching format)
-labour market
-transfer opportunities
![Page 15: Grad 2020: grad requirements, post-secondary considerations and ...€¦ · Graduation Requirements •80 credits at the Grade 10, 11, and 12 level •1 course = 4 credits (some exceptions)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050422/5f91570702199825cd062376/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
University requirements In general:
Six Grade 12 courses Language 11 for UBC and SFU (not Introductory Language 11
Some schools base admission on the average mark of 4 academic subjects including English
UBC has different admissions criteria and you may start to see this practice in other post=secondary institutions going forward
