Transfer Credits for High School Students

Earning transfer credit

If you have been admitted and have taken any Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, French Baccalaureate, GCE, or CAPE subjects during high school, you may be eligible for transfer credit. Transfer credits are assessed after admission and once we have received the official final results directly from the examining board.

Different faculties and campuses at the university may have varying transfer credit policies and criteria. This means that the amount and type of transfer credits awarded can differ depending on the faculty, campus or specific program you are admitted to. It's important to review the transfer credit guidelines for your chosen faculty or campus to understand how your previous coursework will be evaluated and applied towards your degree.

Note that the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering does not provide transfer credit for Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, French Baccalaureate, GCE, or CAPE subjects.
