Transferring Credit from Previous Study or Work Experience

If you have completed similar courses at other universities or community college, you may qualify for transfer credit. You can request transfer credit by providing transcripts and detailed course outlines from your previous institution for admissions assessment. Admission Requirements for Transfer Students.

If you have considerable work experience in the field or relevant professional credentials you are urged to discuss your situation with a faculty member prior to registering for classes. The Prior Learning Assessment portfolio is submitted to the Registrar’s Office for assessment by faculty. Your portfolio must include employers’ letters, diplomas, certificates, and/or transcripts. All materials in the portfolio must be clearly linked to the courses that you feel are the equivalent of your experience. Find more information.

You can also Challenge for Credit if you cannot transfer credit, or if you cannot provide a portfolio for assessment. Challenges usually involve completing course assignments and examinations.

You can transfer a maximum of 50% of the credits required for any credential: certificate, diploma, or degree.
