Applicants who wish to transfer to Nipissing University from another recognized post-secondary institution may qualify for transfer credit when there is significant equivalency in course content.
Transfer credit may be granted as a block of credits or as specific courses. If a specific equivalence to a course is not available at Nipissing, an unspecified, nonequivalent course will be granted. Block credits are typically granted when a graduate of a program wishes to transfer credits to another program that is very closely related in content.
The following information will assist you in understanding transfer credits:
- One course is equal to 3 credits.
- One full semester of courses is equal to15 credits
- A 3-year degree requires the completion of 90 credits.
- A 4-year degree requires the completion of 120 credits.
To be considered for transfer credits, candidates must submit an application for admission. In addition to transcripts, course descriptions and/or syllabi may also be required.
