If you have previously completed undergraduate courses/degree, you may qualify for some advance standing; however, transfer credits will only be assessed once you successfully transfer. Once finalized, you will receive a cumulative record outlining which courses have been accepted for transfer/equivalency and which courses you will need to take to complete your program. Transfer credits will only be granted for appropriate courses passed with a grade of ‘C’ or better.
