What will I learn?

The University Foundation certificate program is an intensive, full-time academic preparation program specifically designed for students who do not meet the English language requirements for full-time academic study at UFV.

Program requirements:

To maintain status in the University Foundation certificate program, students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.33. Upon successful completion (a grade point average of 2.33 or C+ average and at least a C+ in EAP 084 (formerly ESL WG84) of all Level II core courses and a total of 27 credits (of which nine credits must be 100-level or higher), students may be granted a certificate in the University Foundation certificate program

Transfer credit:

Students transferring to UFV must seek advice from an advisor to determine how their previous courses can be used toward fulfilling the current requirements. At least 50% of the academic course work must be completed at UFV.

Students wishing to challenge an academic course require permission from the department or program head of the course that they wish to challenge. Courses challenged do not count towards UFV program residency requirements.

Program continuance:

Students whose cumulative grade point average falls below 2.33 during their program are subject to program warning and/or removal from the program.
