Ontario’s universities are working collaboratively with colleges and with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to ensure that students have a wide range of options for easy movement between postsecondary institutions and to expand, enhance and streamline the credit transfer process.
What is credit transfer?
Universities and colleges use the term “credit transfer” (or transfer credit) to describe the process of granting credit to a student for courses already completed at another institution. This may include courses completed at postsecondary institutions as well as International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement secondary school courses. College students may also apply to enroll in a specific transfer program that offers a defined ‘pathway’ between a college and a university.
