Liberal Studies Transfer Credits

Transfer credit for individual Liberal Studies courses is awarded when a student is granted credit for completed academic work at another post-secondary institution. The credit should meet Humber's General Education (diploma) or Breadth Elective (degree) requirements. Courses from the Humanities (e.g. History, Literature, Philosophy), Natural Sciences (e.g. Astronomy, Geography, Environmental Studies) and Social Sciences (e.g., Political Science, Psychology, Sociology) often meet these requirements. If a student is seeking transfer credit for a specific program-required course, then the learning outcomes of the course in question should be equivalent to the required Liberal Studies course.

After you have read the information below, follow the application process above.

Diploma to Diploma - to transfer Diploma-level course(s) from another post-secondary institution to Humber, for Liberal Studies Diploma-Level credit

Minimum requirements

The minimum requirement for Diploma-level post-secondary courses taken at another institution for Liberal Studies Diploma-level credit at Humber normally include:

  • A minimum grade of 60% or the equivalent letter grade.
  • The course is considered an elective in your program and at Humber. Courses typically include those in the Humanities (e.g., Literature, History, Philosophy), Social Sciences (e.g., Political Science, Psychology, Sociology), and Natural Sciences (e.g., Astronomy, Geography, Environmental Studies).
  • The institution is an accredited postsecondary institution or its equivalent.

Course & Program-Specific Information:

  • GNED 101: An Introduction to Arts and Sciences is the General Education foundation course and is designed to introduce students to the breadth of disciplines in the Liberal Arts & Sciences. The GNED 101 course will normally be the last General Education transfer credit applied to the student's record. For example, if a student qualifies for two General Education transfer credits and is in a program that requires two General Education courses and GNED 101, the student would still have to take the GNED 101 to satisfy the program requirements; in this case, only if a third transfer credit is granted, would an exemption from GNED 101 be granted.

Program-Designated General Education Courses and Credit:

  • In some programs, students are required to take a particular Liberal Studies course as part of the program curriculum.  For example, in the Practical Nursing program, PSYC 150 Psychology: Introduction is a course that all students in the Practical Nursing program must take.
  • Students will normally receive transfer credit for a program-designated course, if and only if, the course meets ALL of the specific learning outcomes as stated in the program-designated course outline.
  • If credit is granted for a program-designated course, the course used as the basis for granting credit cannot be used for additional credit toward a General Education Elective. For example, if credit for PSYC 150 is granted, the course used in applying for the credit cannot be used for additional transfer credit.
  • Students who take program-designated courses cannot take the same course for General Education credit. For example, students required to take PSYC 150 Psychology: Introduction as part of their program are, therefore, restricted from taking PSYC 150 for General Education Elective credit.
