After you apply Transfer credits are assessed by individual departments and are based on grades achieved as well as equivalency to ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ 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 ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ 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 ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ 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 ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´, then 63.0 units must be completed at ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ (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 ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´, that leaves 48.0 units which must be completed at ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ (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 Queen's.
