To Athabasca University
Alberta Advanced Education has mandated Athabasca University 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 Athabasca University 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 Athabasca University. Detailed course descriptions
may also be required. In order to have previous courses taken through
another post-secondary institution evaluated for credit toward an
Athabasca University credential, you must enrol in a specific program.
To enrol in a specific program, please complete the Undergraduate
General Application Form and submit a one-time, non-refundable
application fee.
Non-Canadian Student Credentials
Students who will be presenting international credentials for possible
transfer credit to an Athabasca University program must obtain an
evaluation of their international post-secondary course work obtained
outside of Canada or the US. Please refer to Non-Canadian Evaluations/Assessments.
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 two procedures.
