NOTE: Courses used as basis of admission are not recorded as individual transfer credits and may not be used to apply for Transfer Credit. The original grades obtained in the courses used for advanced standing are not recorded as graded courses on the Ryerson academic record. Original grades are not used in the calculation of a student’s Grade Point Average.

Residency Requirement: Students admitted with advanced standing/transfer credits must complete, as a Ryerson student, studies that normally include at least one half of the program’s curriculum. No more than a total of 50 percent of the program’s requirements may consist of advanced standing/credits (transfer credits, challenge credits, credits granted on a Letter of Permission).

Applicants applying for advanced standing/transfer credits must arrange to have one set of academic transcripts of their secondary and all post-secondary studies, including promotion/graduation status, submitted to Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment. Transcripts for applicants who are currently attending a post-secondary institution must also include a list of courses in progress.

If applying for advanced standing admission, course descriptions and teaching outlines of all post-secondary studies are generally not required at the time of application for admission (if this information is needed, a request will be issue by Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment). Course/teaching outlines may be required after admission has been granted, when applying for transfer credit (see www.ryerson.ca/currentstudents/transfercredits.) 

Note: Students admitted into a degree completion/advanced standing program who wish to enrol in any Faculty of Arts course that has a prerequisite must first obtain permission from the appropriate teaching department.  Students are required to provide the teaching department with a course outline and proof of completion of the appropriate prerequisite.
