Evaluations and Transfer Credit
5.3.4 Transfer Procedure from Athabasca University
Generally, Athabasca University courses are transferable to other Canadian degree-granting institutions.
Athabasca University is unable to advise you on which of its courses would transfer into a program at another institution. The decision to accept courses for transferability lies exclusively with the home institution.
If you are in a program at another post-secondary institution and wish to take an Athabasca University course, you are advised to obtain a Letter of Permission from your home institution before taking the Athabasca University course. If you do not obtain permission you may not receive credit for the course at your home institution.
Transfer Guides
Students wishing to transfer credit for courses or programs to another institution should refer to the Alberta Transfer Guide, which lists all courses and program transfer agreements between post-secondary institutions in Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Students wishing to transfer credit for courses or programs to British Columbia post-secondary institutions should refer to the British Columbia Transfer Guide.
