Transfer Students
Students transferring from recognized universities or colleges may be considered for admission with advanced standing. Such students may receive credits for courses previously completed as determined by the Registrar in consultation with the appropriate Academic Department or Academic Dean.

  • Transfer credit will normally be granted for courses with passing grades for which credit has been earned. However, students must obtain a grade of  a least C- in all courses used to fulfill prerequisite requirements.
  • Transfer credits are recorded on the transcript with credit value and a notation of ‘P’ (equivalent to passing grade of C- or higher) or ‘CP’ (equivalent to passing grade below C-, not eligible to be used as a prerequisite) and are excluded from Grade Point Average calculations.
  • A maximum of 60 transfer credits may be applied toward a degree at Mount Allison.
  • The majority of upper-year course requirements for a major or honours program must be earned at Mount Allison subject to academic regulation 10.9.2. Please refer to the Academic Calendar  for more information.

International Baccalaureate (IB)
IB diploma candidates may qualify for up to 30 transfer credits. Higher level courses with scores of 5 or higher will be assessed for transfer credit to a maximum of 18 credits. If applicants complete three HL courses with scores of 5 or higher, their standard level courses (with scores of 5 or higher) and Theory of Knowledge (with minimum grade of B) will also be considered for transfer credit.
IB certificate students who complete HL courses with scores of 5 or higher will have those courses considered for transfer credits.
Advanced Placement (AP)
