Transfer of Credit and Course Exemptions
Exemption Information:
Apply early to avoid the start of term rush! You can apply for transfer of credit when you have your confirmed offer of admission.
Note: All ENL1813 courses taken within the past five years are equivalent regardless of the letter at the end (Ex: ENL1813S is equivalent to ENL1813B). You only need to apply for an exemption if you previously took an ENL1813 course more than five years ago. If you are registered in ENL1813 and the above applies to you, please reach out to your Program Coordinator to inquire-do not apply for an exemption as it will be cancelled.
How to Apply for an Exemption
Important information about Exemption:
- Application must be completed in full. Enter the course code and name of the course successfully completed at the academic institution (i.e. Algonquin or other Colleges, Universities, CEGEP, etc.) that is equivalent and that is the basis of your exemption request.
- The Registrar’s Office will automatically process the request for transfer credit if the course(s) appears on the transfer credit database (Table of Recognized Course Equivalencies) based on College approvals previously granted. Where a course has not previously been evaluated for equivalency, the application will be forwarded to the appropriate Academic Administrator.
- Normally, transfer credit (exemption) will only be granted for courses completed during the last five (5) years, excluding General Electives which have no time restriction. You may submit older courses for review. (A minimum grade of “C” is required for external courses only).
- Students who request transfer credit after the fourth week of term may have their request processed for the upcoming term. Students should attend classes until a decision has been made regarding the exemption. If an exemption is approved, the student will be withdrawn from the course in question by the Registrar’s Office.
- The Registrar’s Office may request submission of original documents. If requested, the documents must be received within 10 business days, or any granted exemption may be rescinded.
