Transfer Credit – Ontario Colleges

All Ontario College programs are assessed for advanced standing upon admission. Exceptions to this are students entering Engineering. These students must petition for credit and provide detailed course outlines (syllabi) for a transfer credit evaluation to take place.

• All transfer credit is done on a case-by-case basis and credits awarded may be adjusted depending on the grade achieved in a particular course, the overall admission average presented and/or the relevance of the course to the degree program.
• Carleton endeavors to award as much transfer credit as possible for college study however not all diploma programs are eligible for credit. Credit may not be possible in cases where the college course content is of low affinity to the university offerings or where there is insufficient scope and/or depth in a particular subject area.

General Regulations for Transfers from Post-Secondary Institutions: Ontario College

Students from Ontario Colleges who have successfully completed a minimum of two terms in a two- or three-year diploma program or a four-year Applied Degree program and who present a minimum 3.0 grade point average (B standing in the Carleton University grading system) will be considered for admission to a degree program. Credit may be received for courses taken at other recognized institutions if:

1. Courses are relevant to a student’s proposed program, and
2. The appropriate department recommends that such courses be credited to a student’s program. Each application will be evaluated on its own merits.

Visit the ONTransfer website for more information on the transfer credit you may be eligible for. The information provided on ONTransfer is not comprehensive and should only be used as a guide. If admitted to Carleton, transfer credit awarded will be outlined as part of the offer of admission.
