12. Transfers from Post-Secondary Institutions: Universities
-
Carleton University subscribes to the following General Policy on
the Transfer of Course Credits, as adopted by the Council of Ontario
Universities:
Acceptance of transfer credits among Ontario universities shall be
based on the recognition that, while learning experiences may differ
in a variety of ways, their substance may be essentially equivalent
in terms of their content and rigour. Insofar as possible, acceptance
of transfer should allow for the maximum recognition of previous learning
experience in university-level courses.
Subject to degree, grade and program requirements, any course offered
for credit by one university shall be accepted for credit by another
Ontario university when there is an essential equivalency in course
content.
Please contact Carleton's Admissions Services for information about
transferring specific courses.
- Students applying from other recognized universities may be admitted
with advanced standing if they are eligible to continue at the institution
from which they wish to transfer and if they present an acceptable average.
An applicant who is attending or has attended institutions of post-secondary
education must present:
- Official Certified Transcripts of academic records mailed directly
to this University by the registrars of the institutions attended;
- In addition, applicants who have taken only one year of study past
the secondary school level may be required to submit an official transcript
of high school marks mailed directly to Carleton University by the high
school concerned.
Credit may be received for courses taken at other recognized degree-granting
institutions if:
- courses are relevant to a student's proposed program; and
- the appropriate department recommends that such courses be credited
to a student's program. Each application will be evaluated on its own
merits.
Students who apply for admission to an undergraduate degree program who
already possess an undergraduate degree from either Carleton or another
university, are required to complete a minimum number of Carleton credits.
