Pre-大发彩票平台 transfer credit for University/College coursework

Did you take a course at another university/college before coming to 大发彩票平台?

You may be eligible for credits and/or exemptions if you completed dual-enrollment or other university/college courses at another institution prior to coming to 大发彩票平台.听 Please follow the steps below.

1) Notify SOUSA and start the transfer credit process early

You must complete the webform below to have your university/college coursework assessed.

NOTE: it is not possible for 大发彩票平台 or SOUSA to confirm the specific credits or exemptions you can expect until after the start of the Fall term. You will need to register for courses BEFORE your credits and equivalencies are processed.听 Please review the information on this page and consult with a Degree advisor if you need guidance.听 Consult the timeline information in Step 5 for further details.听


2) Submit your official transcript(s):

You must make arrangements to have your final, official transcript sent directly from the institution(s) to 大发彩票平台. Documents uploaded by a student are considered unofficial.

大发彩票平台 accepts electronic transcripts and proof of graduation sent through a recognized digital credential service provider or directly from the issuing institution(s) by email.

Send in your final marks

If your prior university studies are not accurately recorded on your Minerva application checklist, consult with Service Point to discuss any missing information.


3) Search for your course in our Course Equivalency System (CES)

All university/college courses taken prior to coming to 大发彩票平台 must be assessed for equivalency.听

Use the Course Equivalency System to determine if your course has already been assessed. A few tips:

  • Tick off the box "Include Expired Decisions" in your search.
  • Clicking on the course in the search results will provide more information on the equivalency status and when the course was last assessed.

NEXT STEPS BASED ON SEARCH RESULTS
Equivalent Your course is currently equivalent to a 大发彩票平台 course.听 Skip to Step 5.
Not Equivalent Your course is not equivalent to this department.听 Click on the equivalency to get more information on this assessment as the course may belong to a different department at 大发彩票平台.
Expired The course may have already been approved, but has since expired.听 You will need to submit a request for reassessment (see Step 4).
Not found If you cannot find your course in the CES, you will need to submit an equivalency request (see Step 4).

Note that two types of equivalencies may be granted:

  1. Direct equivalency: A course can be deemed equivalent to an existing 大发彩票平台 course like for example ECON 208 or PSYC 100.
  2. Level equivalency (1XX, 2XX, 3XX etc.): If 大发彩票平台 doesn鈥檛 offer an exact equivalent course but the course meets 大发彩票平台's course standards, a level equivalency can be granted. A PSYC 2XX course is considered to be a 200-level course Psychology course.

NOTE: You may not use 1XX equivalencies for the Math or Science components of the Foundation/Freshman program. For example, PSYC 1XX is not equivalent to PSYC 100 and cannot be counted as a foundational science.


4) Submit a request for equivalency or reassessment

IMPORTANT: To submit a request for equivalency/reassessment you will need a course syllabus from when you completed the course. Please note that these steps are only possible after you have accepted your offer of admission.

5) Verify that your credits and equivalencies appear on your student record (processing timeline)

Once processed, your credit and equivalencies will be viewable in Minerva (Go to Minerva > Student Menu > Student Records Menu > View Your Unofficial Transcript).听

Note the following timeline:

  • Enrolment Services begins reviewing official transcripts in late summer, processing them in the order received. Once your transcript is reviewed, your transfer credits will be added as TRNS XXX (generic transfer credit). This initial review is completed by October, at which time you can view the generic transfer credit you have received on your Minerva transcript.
  • The SOUSA team then receives your file and will assess your course(s) for equivalency and update your Minerva transcript (this is referred to as "articulation").听 Articulation takes place during the Fall semester.听 The table below shows how the credits/equivalencies look when initially processed (by ES) and after articulation (by SOUSA).
When first processed After articulation
Credits/Exemptions:
From: Concordia University - 6 credits
TRNS XXX 6 cr
Credits/Exemptions:
From: Concordia University - 6 credits
MATH 133 3 cr
PHIL 1XX 3 cr
