Evaluations and Transfer Credit

5.3.5 Timelines

Evaluations take time. Once Transfer Credit Services receives all the transcripts, supporting documents, and required fees, your evaluation request enters a queue. It can take from six (6) to eight (8) weeks to complete your evaluation. If additional information is required, or Athabasca University is experiencing high volumes of requests, it may take longer. In addition to official transcripts, supporting documentation, such as course and program descriptions, may be required from the sending institution.

Failure to provide this information when it is requested will impede the evaluation process. When the evaluation is complete, you will receive a letter indicating what transfer credit has been awarded and how it has been applied to your program of study.
