Students enrolled in a School of Continuing Studies (SCS) certificate program may apply for one transfer credit per certificate program*.

Approved courses must meet the following criteria:

• Transfer credit requests must be submitted the day before the first day of classes, by 11:59 pm EST/EDT. No exceptions will be made.
• There must be an 80% overlap in content and curriculum, and the same number of hours as the course offered in SCS’s program.
• The external course must have been taken at a recognized Canadian public university or college, or from an international institution if verified with a World Education Services Comprehensive Course-by-Course Report”. University courses with a grade equivalent to a “C” (60% ) or better will be considered. College courses with a grade equivalent to a “B” (70%) or better will be considered. Private career colleges are excluded.
• *Students who complete one SCS certificate and enrol in a second SCS certificate that includes some of the same courses as the first certificate, will receive one (1) pre-determined course exemption and up to two (2) course substitutions to prevent repetition of coursework. No additional course exemptions or substitutions will be permitted.

Note: Upon hitting the “submit” button, you will immediately receive an automated confirmation email that the form has been received by the School of Continuing Studies. If you did not receive the confirmation email, please follow up with cpepm@yorku.ca straight away.
