FAQ

The following are frequently asked questions about transfer credits.

How do I know if I have transfer credits?

Check your admission documents to find out which courses have been credited. If you have questions about course credits you did not receive, consult with an admissions officer in Admissions Services.

How do I know what to register for?

If you are arriving at Carleton with credits on admission from your previous studies, you should choose your courses from the first year course selection guide associated with your degree program.

In some cases, you will be able to register for the next level of courses because you have been given credit for the prerequisite courses.

Who can I talk to about my course selection?

You can speak to your departmental advisor or to an academic advisor in the Academic Advising Centre. Together you can discuss the courses you have been given credit for and check that you have the necessary prerequisite courses.

Do CEGEP students have to do anything differently?

Students from a Quebec CEGEP must consult with an academic advisor before registering, because of the large number of 1000-level courses that may have been transferred on admission. These transfer credits could create a problem in meeting degree requirements without proper guidance.
