TRANSFER CREDITS AND ADVANCED STANDING

TRANSFER CREDITS, EQUIVALENCIES AND ADVANCED STANDING

Applicants with previous postsecondary education will be assessed for transfer credit upon receipt of an official transcript from the previous institution. Niagara College does not charge a fee for this service. Credits are considered on a course-by-course basis and will be granted where deemed equivalent in content and learning objectives to corresponding Niagara College courses. In some instances, course outlines must be in English. Translated course outlines will need to be provided and a translator’s note may be requested. For more information, please email [email protected].

Official educational documents are required in order to be considered for admission. Official translations of transcripts and/or proof of graduation must bear the seal or stamp of the notary/official translator.
Please Note
