Evaluations and Transfer Credit
Alberta Advanced Education has mandated Athabasca University to act as a credit coordinating body. In general, credit courses completed at other accredited degree-granting institutions will be considered for transfer credit to Athabasca University programs on a course-by-course basis.
University transfer courses taken at colleges will generally be considered for transfer credit as though they were university courses. Athabasca University responds to all evaluations individually. The relevant credential program regulations are dependent on the year the college program and/or individual courses were completed, the course selection within the diploma, and other variables. Individual credit may vary. -
3 Prior Learning
While transfer credit for individual field placement, professional seminars, work experience, life experience, or elementary skills is not normally granted, students should contact the Centre for Learning Accreditation for information. The office will help you determine which learning experiences may be evaluated for credit towards a program.

This transfer credit equivalent information is for reference only. Course equivalents are subject to change upon official evaluation by the Registrar's Office. These equivalents are based on courses which have been previously assessed for transfer to Dalhousie. Missing courses does not necessarily indicate transfer credit will not be given. Since course content may change from year to year, and equivalence be withdrawn, students should be sure to contact individual departments to confirm status of any courses they intend to take at other universities.
A minimum grade of "C" or equivalent is required for "on admission" transfer credit to be awarded. Current Dalhousie/King's students who wish to take courses at other institutions must obtain approval in advance on a letter of permission form available online at www.registrar.dal.ca/forms. Please see regulation 7 in the undergraduate calendar.

If you have completed postsecondary courses elsewhere, you may be eligible to receive credit which will reduce the length of your degree here. Most programs at the U of A consist of 120 units of course weight (*120) and take four years to complete. Provided the courses you have taken fit your program, you may receive credit up to a maximum of *60.

UBC will not grant a degree for studies that represent less than the equivalent of two regular Winter Sessions (60 credits). In general, transfer credit is limited to the first two years (60 credits) of a degree program, wherever those credits were completed.
Credit at a more senior level is possible if prior written permission has been obtained from the Dean. A student will not be granted transfer credit for more than 12 credits of upper-level course work. Although transfer credit allowed by the Dean may be included in the required 48 credits numbered 300 or above, a B.Sc. program must include a minimum of 30 credits of upper-level UBC Science courses specified by the program.
