Biology Transfer Grids The British Columbia Biology Articulation Committee has established transfer grids for Biology courses in the province. The following grids outline how Biology courses transfer among B.C. post-secondary institutions, and identify the courses at each institution that correspond to basic Biology subject areas. Institution abbreviations used in the grids are described in Appendix I. To assist in comparing courses, specific websites for course descriptions are listed for each institution in Appendix II. Grids are included for the following Biology subject areas: Introductory Biology Ecology Genetics Cell Biology Biochemistry Microbiology Vertebrates Invertebrates Vascular Plants Nonvascular Plants

Introductory Biology In MOST cases, both courses listed for the sending institution must be taken in order to receive credit for specific courses at the receiving institution. Check transfer guides for individual courses to see if they transfer as specific courses. Receiving Institutions
