What about transfer credit and advanced standing?
Students do not apply for transfer credit or advanced standing. Courses taken at CEGEP, university, or through various high school curricula (such as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, French Baccalaureate, European Baccalaureate or Advanced Levels), must be indicated in the student’s application. Once the student has been admitted and has accepted their offer, their file will automatically be reviewed for credit and possible exemptions.
