Transfer Credit & Advanced Standing

When you applied to McGill you declared an admission type and you may receive credits toward your degree depending on your education level prior to McGill and, in some cases, the grades you received. Advanced Standing refers to credits granted for: CEGEP DEC, Advanced Level Exams, International Baccalaureate, French Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement exams etc. Please consult the Advanced Standing webpage to learn more about this.

Advanced Placement results with a score of 4 or 5 must be declared at the time of applying to the University to be eligible to receive credit.

Courses taken at other universities prior to starting your undergraduate studies must be declared at the time of application to the University.

For transfer students from another university, courses you took may need to be evaluated to determine the credits and possible course exemptions you will receive. It is the student’s responsibility to submit the course outlines in the Course equivalency database as soon as possible. The academic advisers in the BCom Student Affairs Office will be pleased to assist you in this process. Please note that transfer students will need to complete a minimum of 60 credits at McGill University in order to graduate with a McGill degree.

All BCom students must complete at least two thirds of their degree credits at McGill and at least two thirds of each degree component at McGill. For example, students may only complete 4 courses (12 credits) from a Major away from McGill and 2 courses (6 credits) from a Concentration or Minor away from McGill.
