Studies or Social Science courses, but not both. To use these courses
to satisfy the Social Science area of study requirement, students must

Union Education Transfer
Credit and Prior Learning
Athabasca University grants advanced credit in the Labour Studies
program for some union education programs. A student with a Labour
College of Canada certificate, for example, may be eligible to receive
nine credits. Students who have completed the Canadian Auto Workers
Paid Educational Leave course may be eligible to receive three credits.
And students who have completed the Canadian Union of Postal Workers'
Union Education Program may be eligible to receive six credits.
Credit is also granted for other union education programs and for
other forms of prior learning.
Contact Athabasca University for details. Many unions,
and some employers, will reimburse you for the cost of university
tuition
fees. Discuss this with your
union representative or employer.
