Marks and Credits

Our courses are not-for-credit at Queen's University, but students who achieve good marks in the courses may receive credit at their own institutions.

At the completion of the program, we provide students with full descriptions of their courses, and students who have made satisfactory progress are awarded a certificate.

Queen's University provides transcripts which record the final marks in our courses. Students may order official transcripts from the Office of the University Registrar.
