New arrangement to benefit writing, publishing students at Selkirk College
By Nelson Daily Staff
A memorandum of understanding has been reached between Okanagan College, College of the Rockies, and Selkirk College that allows students to transfer directly into second year of the Writing and Publishing diploma program at Okanagan College.
The initiative is part of the Southern Interior Writers’ Project — a joint undertaking which creates new and improved services for learners through the smooth transferability of writing courses between post-secondary institutions.
The MoU will be in place until February, 2014. As part of the agreement, Okanagan College will reserve a total of 10 seats for students coming from College of the Rockies and Selkirk.
Students will be required to complete 30 credits, which include a combination of writing, English and business courses, prior to enrolling in the second year of the Writing and Publishing program at Okanagan College.
Participating departments at the respective institutions include: the Arts and Foundational program and Okanagan School of Business at Okanagan College, University Studies and Business at College of the Rockies, and the Schools of University Arts and Sciences and Business and Aviation at Selkirk College.
