³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

Transfer Credits

You may be granted credit for courses passed with a grade of C or better at other universities, as long as you are within the number of credits imposed by ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ's residency requirements and pro­gram requirements in some faculties.

In general a maximum of 60 transfer credits from other institutions may be granted. You need a minimum of 60 credits completed at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ to qualify for a ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ degree. You must be in satisfactory standing in order to be granted the transfer credits. Courses with grades of C-, P, and S are not considered for transfer credits. The letter grades applied by the host institution take precedence over the numerical grades if both are provided.

You need to obtain approval from your student affairs office for courses taken at other universities. In some faculties you need to obtain approval from the student affairs office as well as from your academic adviser before you take the courses, especially if the courses are part of your program requirements.

Grades earned at the host university for transfer courses are not entered on your ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ transcript and are not part of the TGPA or CGPA calculation.

For universities outside Quebec, it is your responsibility to ensure that the host institution sends an official transcript to the stu­dent affairs office. You must submit all documents required for approval of your transfer of credits with your faculty at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ with­in four months of completing your exchange program or study away. If you are studying at another Quebec university on an Inter-University Transfer (IUT) agreement, the host university sends your grade(s) to ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ automatically. For additional information, see Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement: ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Students.
