Summary of Changes for the 2021/22 Calendar
Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Calendar 2021-2022 Admissions A.12 Transfer Credit/Advanced Standing
A.12 Transfer Credit/Advanced Standing

The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà will consider university-level course work completed at a recognized/accredited post-secondary institution (or equivalent) for credit toward a Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà credential.

Students wishing to transfer should refer to the Alberta Transfer Guide which lists course and program transfer agreements between post-secondary institutions in Alberta, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The guide and other transfer information are available online at .

Students from other universities or colleges may be admitted with transfer credit to undergraduate programs. The amount of credit granted is determined by faculty regulations.

Students transferring from other institutions must make themselves aware of the prerequisites for courses they wish to take. This may be done by consulting the Courses of Instruction section of this Calendar. Students receiving specified transfer credit status for particular courses should be aware that this does not necessarily imply that exact course equivalence is being awarded; it may indicate an equivalent level of experience in a particular subject area.

The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà honours all transfer credit agreements as listed in the Alberta Transfer Guide and follows the CARU transfer statement:

The Province of Alberta recognizes four Comprehensive Academic and Research Universities (CARU) within the Campus Alberta system: Athabasca University, the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, the University of Lethbridge, and the University of Alberta. Alberta’s CARUs are committed to the advancement of Campus Alberta goals, including enhanced learner movement within the advanced education system. To facilitate mobility, the four CARUs accept each other’s credit courses for transfer. Minimum grade and program requirements determine the applicability of specific courses to a student’s program.

Students who have taken the equivalent of university courses in some other manner may be given advanced placement (i.e., excused from taking such courses) but will not be granted advanced credit. In these cases, students will be required to substitute courses to complete program requirements.

The University reserves the right to require applicants for advanced credit or advanced placement to write examinations at any level including that of matriculation standing.
