How to Apply

To apply for a credit transfer request, select the option above that applies to you (please note, students who have paid their $500 tuition deposit are required to apply through MyDC. If you have not yet paid the $500 tuition deposit, please apply through MyCampus). Your application will not be eligible for review until all of the requirements cited below have been submitted.

Identify which previous course(s) you feel are equivalent to course(s) in your new program. You will need to upload the following items as you fill out the online application:

• Official transcript – The transcript must cite your successful completion of the course with the required minimum grade of 60 per cent/C or passing grade for the course. If you provided an official transcript as part of the current admission cycle, then you are not required to provide a new transcript
• Course outline – Course outlines provide evidence for why your previous course is equivalent to the course from which you are seeking exemption from the year it was taken. Please note, degree students will be required to submit their course outlines for any Breadth courses that they wish to be evaluated for. General Education Electives do not require submission of a course outline.
• Payment – There is a $16/course fee for each request.
• International requests for credit transfer must include a course-by-course credential assessment from either World Education Services (WES) or the International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS).

Identify which previous course(s) you feel are equivalent to course(s) in your new program.

For courses previously completed at DC, no official transcript, course outline or payment is required.

WHEN SHOULD I APPLY?

Applications for credit transfer should be submitted prior to course commencement and will continue to be accepted until the tenth (10th) day of classes each semester. Please note: If you are applying for a large number of courses across the duration of your program, it is best to submit all in your first semester for review so that you can work with your student advisor to create a customized academic plan. The credit transfer process can begin as soon as you have accepted your offer to a program.

HOW LONG WILL THE PROCESS TAKE?

During peak periods, it may take four to six weeks to receive a response to your completed application. Please continue to attend class until a decision is made. You can monitor the results of your credit transfer application through the online portal.
