ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ

Students who have been approved to transfer credits from another university and students who participate in a formal university exchange could be eligible to transfer earned credits to ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ if the grade earned in the host university course(s) is equal to or higher than the grade/CGPA required to graduate from the host university. The policy will apply to both elective and required courses and, to be counted, courses must be taken at the host institution for the same purpose (i.e., major, minor, elective etc.) than they would have at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. Please note that grade/GPA requirements may differ across programs and that your Student Affairs Office will determine the category to which credits are transferred to your program.

You need to obtain approval from your Student Affairs Office for courses taken at other universities. In some faculties, you need to obtain approval from your Student Affairs Office as well as from your academic adviser before taking the courses, especially if the courses are part of your program requirements. Please note that credits that have not been preapproved might not be transferred. Admissions, Faculties, and Departments vet the courses they approve for credit and thus have the right to refuse certain courses that do not satisfy program requirements.

You may be granted credit for courses meeting the requirements described above at other universities, as long as you are within the number of credits imposed by ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ's residency requirements and program requirements for some faculties. In general, a minimum of 60 credits completed at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ is needed to qualify for a ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ degree. You must be in Satisfactory Standing in order to be granted the transfer credits.

Grades for transfer courses earned at the host university are not entered on your ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ transcript and are not part of the TGPA or CGPA calculation. Courses at a host university which you fail or from which you withdraw will appear on your ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ transcript with zero credit granted.

For universities outside Quebec, it is your responsibility to ensure that the host institution sends an official transcript to the Student Affairs Office. You must submit all documents required for approval of your transfer credits with your faculty at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ within four months of completing your exchange program or study away. If you are studying at another Quebec university on an Inter-University Transfer (IUT) agreement, the host university sends your grade(s) to ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ automatically. For additional information, see Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement.

Transcripts for transfer courses must be received by the following deadlines:

Transcripts not received by the appropriate date are considered for the next graduation period only.
