Requirements to Graduate

Requirements to Graduate from the Faculty of Land and Food Systems

In addition to the Campus-Wide Policies and Regulations for Requirements to Receive a Degree or Diploma from UBC, LFS students must present a minimum of 45 upper-level (300- and/or 400-level) credits to meet graduation requirements. Most students will fulfill this requirement through the completion of their prescribed degree requirements, but it is the students’ responsibility to ensure this minimum upper-level credit requirement is met.

Students are expected to apply for graduation once their program requirements have been met, and may only attempt a maximum of 180 credits, including transfer credits, towards the completion of their degree.

Students who are unable to meet their degree requirements within 180 attempted credits will be required to withdraw from the Faculty.
