Students in the School of Part-time Studies who have completed an equivalent credit course at another accredited post-secondary institution may be eligible for an exemption for individual courses.
Applicants may be eligible for Transfers of Academic Credit (Exemptions) based on learning attained at other educational institutions or on other learning obtained previously at Algonquin College. We will award transfers of credit for courses on the basis that the learning achievements are equivalent and current to courses within the current program of study.

Students are required to submit an "Application for External Transfer of Academic Credit" form along with supporting documentation (transcripts and course outlines) to the Registrar's Office. A fee of $10.00 per exemption request will be assessed and payment must be provided at the time of application.

Requests for Academic Transfers of Credit will be forwarded to the appropriate academic School at the College for final assessment.

The exemption process takes approximately 2-4 weeks and students whose exemptions have been denied will be notified by mail.
Please allow the College sufficient time to process your request before classes begin. If your request is approved prior to the second scheduled class and you have registered for this course, a full refund for your tuition fee will be issued.
