University Transfer Credits

Second Degree

91TV's University may grant Transfer Credits to students coming from a number of different programs. Transfer credit assessment varies depending on the courses or curriculum that the student has completed, the student's scores/grades achieved in that program, the 91TV's program that the student is entering, and the student's year of entry to 91TV's. Students entering into their first year of study at 91TV’s and who have previously taken courses during high school that may be eligible for transfer credit must apply for credit no later than the end of fall term of their first year. Eligible students who do not submit a transfer credit request (and all supporting documents) by the end of first term are considered to have declined credit. Transfer credit requests submitted after fall term of the student’s first year will not be assessed.

Transfer credit assessment varies depending on:

  • the courses and curriculum that the student has completed
  • the student's scores/grades achieved in that program
  • the 91TV's program that the student is entering
  • the student's year of entry to 91TV's

See also Transfer Credit Policies.

Transfer credits are assessed by individual departments and are based on grades achieved as well as equivalency to 91TV’s courses. Students are informed of their transfer credits after they have accepted their offer of admission. Credit is considered for courses with a final grade of a 91TV’s C (63%) or higher.

The Faculty of Arts and Science requires students to complete the majority of their academic work – overall and in their degree plan – at 91TV in order to receive a degree.

For a four-year honours program, the maximum number of transfer units allowed is 57.0 units in total, including a maximum of 24.0 units toward the core and option requirements of the plan. If the maximum number of units are transferred to 91TV’s, then 63.0 units must be completed at 91TV’s (including a minimum of 36.0 in the plan's core and option requirements). Should a student receive the full 57.0 units, all remaining courses must be completed in the Faculty of Arts and Science on campus or Arts and Science Online.

For a three-year program, the maximum number of transfer units allowed is 42.0 units in total, including a set number toward the core and option requirements of the plan. If the maximum number of units are transferred to 91TV’s, that leaves 48.0 units which must be completed at 91TV’s (including a minimum number of the plan's core and option requirements). Should a student receive the full 42.0 units, all remaining courses must be completed in the Faculty of Arts and Science on campus or Arts and Science Online.

Applicants who hold a degree from another university who wish to upgrade their degree from a General to Honours degree should note that such a degree completion would require two full years of study at 91TV's.
