Transfer Credit Assessment is multi-step process.  

• You’ve been admitted to ²ÝÁñ2024еس¶Ò»¶þ – congratulations! 
• Your transcripts are assessed for potential transfer credit. This is the amount of credit you will potentially receive, including courses listed on the transcript that are currently in progress. This potential transfer credit amount will be included in your . 
• Once you accept your offer of admission, we can begin to fully assess your previous studies for credit eligibility. A member of the transfer credit team may request additional information during this process. 
• We will produce a Statement of Transfer Credit for you, which shows the amount of credit you have been granted, any course exclusions/waivers that have been granted and further instructions if we require additional details. 

PLEASE NOTE: any courses in progress will only be counted when you receive a final grade.

• Your Statement of Transfer Credit will be made available to you in your account. To determine if your previous courses are eligible for York degree course exclusions, we may require detailed course outlines/syllabi. An example of an acceptable outline can be found on the Course Outline Example web page.
• All assessments are conditional upon receipt of final official transcripts.
