The Diploma in Food, Nutrition, and Health Transfer is a limited enrolment program, developed in collaboration with UBC. Graduates of this program will receive acceptance to the Land and Food Systems Faculty and be eligible to apply to the 3rd year of the dietetics degree program. The diploma provides the first two years of Arts and Sciences prerequisite courses for the Dietetics Major at UBC, and completing this diploma may improve a student's chances for admission.
The Diploma in Food, Nutrition, and Health Transfer Program has rigorous admission criteria. The application criteria include a resume, showing Canadian work and/or volunteer experience, that demonstrates commitment to dietetics as a career choice. This mirrors the requirements to UBC's dietetic program, and can include:

involvement in activities related to food and nutrition;
experience in institutional food services and/or in a health care environment;
activities involving direct exposure to and interaction with dietitians; and
certificates related to food and nutrition.

Those students who are unable to maintain the cumulative GPA of 3.0, or are unable to complete the diploma requirements in 4 years, will not be able to continue in the Diploma in Food, Nutrition, and Health Transfer Program. Instead, they have the option of transferring to the Associate of Science in Food and Nutrition Program or the Diploma in Nutrition and Food Service Management Program.
Changes in Summer 2022
Coming in Summer 2022, students DO NOT NEED to complete the required courses within two calendar years of starting the program in order to be eligible to graduate from FNHT.
