Applications should be submitted before the start of your first semester at Seneca, for courses in any semester of your program of study. Submissions missing any of the required documentation are considered incomplete and cannot be reviewed. **A submitted application that is incomplete will receive a status of “Denied” and a new application must be submitted.** To avoid delay, submit all documents at time of application. **A submitted application that is complete will receive a status of "Approved" and will be sent for processing.** An email will be sent to your Seneca email account to inform you once decisions are available. You can check your transfer credit status for requests sent for processing through your [Transfer Credit Report](https://students.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/128/transfer-credits/wiki/view/4875/check-your-status). As part of the transfer credit application process, students are encouraged to complete an [Independent Evaluation](https://students.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/128/transfer-credits/wiki/view/8641/independent-evaluation) of courses prior to submitting a transfer credit application. This process will assist in identifying appropriate courses to submit for formal transfer credit evaluation. 1.
