Domestic (from institutions within Canada) | Transfer Credits | Seneca Students

Applications for transfer credit must include an application form, official transcript and detailed course outline(s) to be considered complete and in order for the application to be reviewed for course content.

Applications should be submitted before the start of your first semester for courses in any semester of your program of study.

Incomplete submissions cannot be reviewed until all documentation is provided. To avoid delay, submit all documents at time of application. Please include your Seneca student number in all email requests.

As part of the transfer credit application process students are encouraged to complete an 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.
