In order to teach within the public elementary, middle years or secondary schools of British Columbia, a certificate of qualification is required.
The Teaching Profession Act has assigned authority to the British Columbia College of Teachers to issue teaching certificates and to determine the classes of certificates of qualification issued. At the end of each program, The Faculty reports to the BC College of Teachers the names of students who have satisfied requirements for BC teacher certification. This report includes a copy of each teacher candidate's UBC transcript.
Those not wishing their status reported and their UBC transcripts forwarded to the College of Teachers should inform the Associate Dean, Teacher Education, in writing at least one month before they complete teacher certification requirements. (Committee on Curriculum Admissions Standing and Appeals, Spring 2001)
Persons convicted of, or given an absolute or conditional discharge on, a criminal offence and considering a teaching career, should write the Registrar, BC College of Teachers for clarification of their status before undertaking a teacher education program.
