Transfer Credits
³ÉÈË´óƬ may grant Transfer Credits to students coming from a number of different programs. Transfer credit assessment varies depending on the courses or curriculum that the student has completed, the student's scores/grades achieved in that program, the Queen's program that the student is entering, and the student's year of entry to Queen's. Students entering into their first year of study at Queen’s and who have previously taken courses during high school that may be eligible for transfer credit must apply for credit no later than the end of fall term of their first year. Eligible students who do not submit a transfer credit request (and all supporting documents) by the end of first term are considered to have declined credit. Transfer credit requests submitted after fall term of the student’s first year will not be assessed.
Transfer credit assessment varies depending on:
- the courses and curriculum that the student has completed
- the student's scores/grades achieved in that program
- the Queen's program that the student is entering
- the student's year of entry to Queen's

For students in all faculties and schools, a maximum of 18.0 credit units may be granted.
Students who believe they are entitled to additional transfer credits that are not posted to their SOLUS account by September 15th must submit the below transfer credit request (and all supporting documents) by the end of fall term of their first year.

College Transfer Credits
University Transfer Credits
Students who have taken post-secondary credit prior to attending Queen’s must disclose this information on the OUAC application form and will be required to submit documentation prior to a final decision on their application. Failure to disclose all post-secondary studies during time of application is considered academic dishonesty and may result in withdrawal from the university.
Transfer credit assessment will take place after a student has accepted their offer of admission.
DEADLINE: Eligible students who do not submit course descriptions (where required) by the end of their first term are considered to have declined credit.
