How to Apply

Log in to MyServiceHub (opens in new window)  to submit your Transfer Credit Application. For a detailed step-by-step guide, please visit the How to Apply to Transfer Credits page.

You should aim to submit all eligible courses from your previous institution in one submission. Be sure to input exact course codes from your previous institution by using the look-up feature — do not input course codes that look similar.

If, while applying on MyServiceHub, you are unable to find the course code using the lookup feature, please email tcredits@torontomu.ca with the course code, title and the name of your previous institution. After receiving confirmation that these courses have been added, you can return to the application to submit your remaining courses.

An instant unofficial course equivalency information will be displayed upon submitting your application. Unofficial results are based on previously established equivalencies contained in the Toronto Metropolitan University Transfer Credit Database. If a course has not yet been evaluated for transfer credit equivalency (No Rule), you will need to upload a detailed course outline through your Transfer Credit Report after your application is processed.

• Newly admitted students starting in fall: Our office will start processing applications in May for students who have confirmed their offer of admission.
• Current students: Our office will process most applications in about five business days.

After your applications are processed, you will receive an acknowledgement email.

You can upload course outlines for No Rule courses only after your applications have been processed. Faculty assessment for No Rule courses can take six to eight weeks upon submission of a complete course outline.

You will find your official transfer credit results posted to your Transfer Credit Report on MyServiceHub. If we are unable to confirm a final grade (IP) for a course, it will not appear on your Transfer credit report and you will not be able to upload course outlines. Please note that you cannot edit previously submitted IP grades. To resolve this issue, submit a more recent transcript.

• Students who have completed courses at international institutions
• Students who have completed courses at some Canadian institutions that are not eligible for Method 1 on MyServiceHub (my.torontomu.ca).

Submit a Manual Transfer Credit Application (opens in new window)  and upload a detailed PDF course outline for each course.

 Note: The Academic Calendar course descriptions are not sufficient for faculty assessment. Your applications will be marked as incomplete — this will delay the processing of your application.

If your previous school transcript does not contain course codes, please ensure that you use a different course code for each course. Do not duplicate course codes. For advanced secondary courses such as IB and AP, select your high school on the application.

• Newly admitted students starting in fall: Our office will start processing applications in May for students who have confirmed their offer of admission.
