To Athabasca University
Alberta Advanced Education has mandated AU to act as a credit coordinating
body. In general, credit courses completed at other accredited
degree-granting institutions will be considered for transfer credit
to an AU program
on a course-by-course basis.
University transfer courses taken at colleges will generally be
considered for transfer credit as though they were university courses.
All credit
transferred to a credential program must be university level.
Official transcripts must be provided directly from the issuing
institution to AU and detailed course descriptions may also be required.
In order
to have previous courses taken through another post-secondary institution
evaluated for credit toward an AU credential, you must enrol in
a specific program. To do so, requires you to complete the Undergraduate
General
Application Form and submit a one-time, non-refundable application
fee.
International Credentials
Students who will be presenting international credentials
for possible transfer credit to an AU program must obtain an evaluation
of their international post-secondary course work obtained outside
of Canada
or the US. Refer to the Residency Requirements Table at the link
below.
Prior Learning Assessment
and Recognition
While transfer credit for individual field placement, professional
seminars, work experience, life experience, or elementary
skills, is not normally granted, it is
recommended that students contact the Centre for Learning
Accreditation. The office will help determine which learning
experiences may
be evaluated for credit towards a program. Refer to Section
6.7.
Transfer Procedure
When transferring credit from other institutions, students
must follow one of 2 procedures.
