We are hoping that instructions for appeal will be provided at https://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/registration/transfer-credits/post-secondary-transfer-credit. Please check this item later for an update.

In China, the second course in theoretical statistics typically contains the material in STAT 305 at UBC-V. However the practice of applied statistics and the use of statistical software may have been omitted; in this case, consider taking STAT 200 at UBC-V, but ask for STAT 305 credit.

We assume multivariable calculus was a prerequisite. Courses in China typically have between 48 and 54 contact hours in a term, so your course covers more than STAT 302, and includes part of STAT 305 at UBC-V. You can ask for transfer credit for STAT/MATH 302.

Likely STAT 251 (also the previous equivalent STAT 241): this course cover less topics of statistical methods compared with STAT 200 and less on probability theory compared with STAT 302. Some topics/vocabulary in this course are: discrete and continuous probability distributions, conditional probability, expectation, sampling distributions, estimation and testing.

Likely Stat/Math 302, assuming some topics/vocabulary included: discrete and continuous probability distributions, conditional probability, binomial coefficient, hypergeometric distribution, negative binomial distribution, gamma function, gamma distribution; expected value, variance and covariance of linear combinations of random variables; probability calculations via double integrals. Also a course objective is that you can solve probability problems such as the probability of different patterns in 5-card poker.

Likely Stat 203, assuming some topics/vocabulary included: histogram, boxplot, mean, standard deviation, median, scatterplot, correlation, confidence interval, hypothesis testing, P-value, regression.

Likely Stat 200, assuming a statistical software was used and some topics/vocabulary included: histogram, boxplot, mean, standard deviation, median, scatterplot, correlation, confidence interval, hypothesis testing, P-value, regression.

Credit transfers are handled by enrolment services advisors. Any student wishing to transfer credits for UBC STAT or DSCI credits should forward their enrolment services advisor the official course syllabus for the course taken elsewhere. This will then be forwarded to the Transfer Credit team via transfer.credits@ubc.ca. Existing transfer agreements can be found at www.bctransferguide.ca
