While Admissions attempts to grant as much transfer credit as possible, transfer credit will vary depending on the availability of information about your completed courses (e.g. course outlines), the existence of equivalents at Carleton, and other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your best source of information is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.carleton.ca\/apply\/transfer-credit\/\">Transfer Credit Information<\/a>&nbsp;on Carleton\u2019s Admissions website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When courses are evaluated for transfer credit, students may receive generally a few possible decisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Equivalent credit means that the course is considered an exact equivalent to a Carleton course. This will appear as an equivalent course code, i.e. SOWK 1001, and will show on the audit as SOWK 1001 (0.5 credit) TR,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"327\" height=\"25\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk.jpg 327w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk-160x12.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk-240x18.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Generic credit means that the course that was previously taken prior to admission in the BSW program, would equate as a University level credit, but does not correspond to any courses that have been or are currently offered at Carleton. This will appear as a course code and year level, i.e SOWK 3XXX, meaning that the course was evaluated as a third year university level Social Work course. This will show on the audit as SOWK 3XXX (0.5 credit) TR,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"342\" height=\"27\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk-1.jpg 342w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk-1-160x13.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/224\/SOWk-1-240x19.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions about the transfer credits you were awarded please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office at <a href=\"admissions@carleton.ca\">admissions@carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Academic Audit?
