Transfer Credit

Queen'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 Queen's program that the student is entering, and the student's year of entry to Queen's.

In addition, the process for assessing Transfer Credit also varies depending on the previous program in which the student has completed courses.
