Students who wish to take courses at another accredited post-secondary institution for credit towards their Ryerson Degree or Certificate must apply for a Letter of Permission prior to enrolling to ensure that the course(s), if completed successfully, will be credited towards their program. Applications for Letters of Permission are available online at www.ryerson.ca/forms.

Students are responsible for making formal application to the institution where they intend to study. Upon completion of the course(s), students are required to complete a Ryerson Application for Transfer Credit (also available online) and provide an officially certified transcript of final results. Transfer credit is recorded on the Ryerson academic record as CRT and is not included in the calculation of the student’s Grade Point Average. The fee for each Letter of Permission is $40 (subject to change). Apply early.

No more than a total of 50 percent of a program’s requirements may consist of credits/advanced standing, (transfer credits, challenge credits or credits granted on a Letter of Permission).

Transfer credit is dependent upon achieving a grade of 'C' or better, where 'C' equals 60 percent or higher from a University or 'B' or better, where 'B' equals 70 percent or higher from a Community College.

NOTE: 'Special Students' and students who have a SUSPENDED standing are not eligible to apply for Letters of Permission.

Students must have received and accepted an Undergraduate Offer of Admission or have enrolled in a G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education Certificate program before they are eligible to apply for a Letter of Permission.

Policies contained in this official calendar supercede any information received to the contrary. Information received from service or program departments or faculties must be approved in advance, in writing, from the Registrar’s Office.
