Transfer Credit Time Limits

Usually courses are considered for transfer credit regardless of when they were completed. Depending on the program, AU will not award transfer credit for nursing courses, some administrative studies courses (e.g., law, senior-level accounting, management science, marketing or finance courses), information systems courses or science courses taken more than 10 years ago.

In addition, the University will not grant transfer credit for computer science courses taken more than 5 years
ago in the following programs.

 

• 

Bachelor of Arts concentration and major in
Information Systems

• 
Bachelor of Science in Computing Information Systems
• 
Bachelor of Science in Computing Information Systems
(Post Diploma)
• 

University Certificate in Computing Information Systems

Students transferring credit completed within a Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) accredited diploma or who have completed a science-related diploma program from a college or technical institute, and who are enrolling in the Bachelor of Science Program, may not be eligible for a block transfer of credit if the diplomas are more than 5 years old.

Consequently, if student diplomas are more than 5 years old and students are currently active in their field of study, they should arrange to provide evidence of this activity to Admissions and Evaluations Services (e.g., a letter from their employer, a copy of professional membership etc.).

Students who choose to change programs may ask a student advisor or Admissions and Evaluations Services, for help in determining whether courses they have completed through AU will be accepted into the new program.
