To obtain a BCom, you need to apply and be accepted into a BCom program at a university or college. Depending on your prior education (the diploma), you might receive some credit transfer, meaning some of your diploma coursework might count towards your BCom degree requirements. However, you'll still need to complete the remaining BCom coursework to earn the degree.
The process involves:
1. Researching BCom programs: Find universities or colleges that offer BCom programs and meet your needs.
2. Checking for credit transfer: Contact the admissions offices of the universities you're interested in to inquire about credit transfer possibilities based on your diploma. They will assess your diploma's curriculum and determine which courses, if any, might be transferable.
3. Applying to the BCom program: Complete the application process, including submitting transcripts, letters of recommendation (if required), and other supporting documents.
4. Meeting admission requirements: You'll need to fulfill the university's admission criteria for the BCom program, which may include minimum GPA requirements or specific prerequisite courses.
5. Completing the BCom program: Once accepted, you'll need to complete the required courses for the BCom degree.
In short, you don't "change" a diploma; you use it potentially as a stepping stone to obtain a BCom degree through a formal university application and enrollment process.
