Course Credit
"The Haida Gwaii Semester represents a tremendous opportunity for students to learn actively about a community, its surrounding forest, and their interdependence. UBC is pleased to be involved in this endeavour." Peter Marshall, Associate Dean, Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia
The Haida Gwaii Semester provides students with credit for a full course load (five courses). Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive 15 credits from the University of British Columbia (UBC), as 300-level undergraduate courses.
To ensure a smooth transfer of credits, non-UBC students must apply to their university for a Letter of Permission to enroll as a visiting student at UBC. For more information on this process, view the application process.
“Experiences like our trip to see forest operations are a constant reminder of the pressures put on forests to sustain resource dependent communities and the changes that must be made to ensure a functional relationship with the forest can continue into the distant future.”
- Ansley Charbonneau, 2010 Haida Gwaii Semester Student (University of Guelph)
