A.5.3 Transferring from Another Post-Secondary Institution
Students are considered post-secondary transfer when they have completed 12 units or more of academic course work from a recognized/accredited institution by December 31 of the year prior to the year of admission.
Applicants who will have completed fewer than 12 units of academic coursework at the post-secondary level by December 31 of the year prior to the year of admission will be considered as a high school applicant using the admission requirements outlined in section A.5.1.1 Undergraduate Admission Requirements.
Admission is competitive and meeting the minimum requirement does not guarantee admission. The minimum admission GPA requirement is 2.00; most programs require a higher admission GPA.
Students are not permitted to register in a University of Calgary degree, diploma or certificate program while simultaneously working towards an academic credential at another institution, unless a formal partnership exists between institutions. Students must obtain permission to register in courses at another post-secondary institution while enrolled in a degree program at the University of Calgary if they would like those courses to be considered for transfer credit. Taking courses at another post-secondary institution without a Letter of Permission may result in a denial of transfer credit. Students who wish to attend the University of Calgary as a visiting student (letter of permission) please see section A.9 Special Admission Categories; A.9.1 Visiting Students.
Applications and supporting documents must be received by the stated deadlines: ucalgary.ca/future-students/undergraduate/how-apply/dates-and-deadlines.
Refer to section A.13 Transfer Credit/Advanced Standing for information on the transfer of credits.
