Thompson Rivers University Provides YC Students with Admission

Whitehorse � On October 29th Thompson Rivers University (TRU) delegates will arrive at Yukon College to sign a Memorandum of Understanding giving Yukon College students access to �Dual Admission� at TRU and YC.

Students in the Liberal Arts, Sciences or Business will be eligible to apply for Dual Admission to the TRU Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Business Administration degree. �This process guarantees students transfer from Yukon College to TRU in one of these three degree programs,� said Karen Barnes, VP Education and Training. �This type of agreement is something we�ve been working towards over the past year.�

Yukon College-Thompson River University students� registration priority is based on credits completed the same as current TRU students. These students are not considered �transfer students� and are permitted the same registration priority privileges as ongoing TRU students.

�This is a great opportunity for students to obtain tangible reassurance of the transferability of their YC program to a university,� Colleen With, Director of Student Services points out. �With BCCAT.bc.ca we�ve had a transfer system in place for some time; this agreement takes it one step further.�
