1. Individual Transfer Credit is awarded to students who have completed a similar or equivalent course at another postsecondary institution that is considered equal in content or academic value.
2. Block Transfer usually occurs when a group of courses taken at a sending institution is equivalent to a group of courses required at the receiving institution. Please visit Transfer Within - Foundation/GAS Programs for Humber’s Pathway Options.

Transfer credit will normally be assessed for core courses completed within 5 years of the transfer credit application and for general education, breadth, English and Mathematics courses completed within 10 years of the transfer credit application.

Transfer credit will be awarded for approved courses with a minimum grade of 60% (C-) or equivalent except in the case of transfer from diploma level to degree-level programs where a minimum of 65% (C+) is required. Some exceptions by program may be required at the direction of regulatory bodies.

Bachelor of Science, Nursing (core courses): the minimum grade for a certificate or diploma to degree transfer credit is 75%*

Bachelor of Science Nursing, Second Entry Preparation: the minimum grade for degree level transfer credits is 75%

Bachelor of Engineering Degrees (core courses): the minimum grade for a degree to degree transfer credit is 70%*

*Breadth electives: follow the regular grade requirements

The charge for processing Transfer Credits is $25.00 for one course, $50.00 for two courses, and $75.00 for three or more courses when submitted at the same time. The charge for processing transfer credits is non-refundable, regardless of the result of the application and actual courses granted an exemption.

Yes, students can apply for transfer credit if they have completed courses at a recognized institution outside of Canada. Students are required to:

• complete the transfer application form. Email this form along with detailed course outlines (translated if applicable) for each course to transferoptions@humber.ca.
• Send official transcript evaluations (WES or ICAS). For more details, please see the “How to Guides” videos.

After submission it may take 1-4 weeks to process your application and for a decision to be made. Students may track the status of their transfer request through the online student portal by viewing their Academic Progress report through MyHumber.

Results can be viewed on the Academic Progress Report through your MyHumber account.

The grade of your transfer credit(s) can help you determine its status:

• IP (In-Progress), still being reviewed
• RCA (Reviewed, credit approved), waiting for student to accept approved transfer credit
• RCD (Reviewed, credit denied), check petition section of Academic Progress for the rationale
• TRC (Completed transfer credit), approved transfer credit was accepted by student

Application documents are kept on file for one year. However, every new transfer credit request requires a new application form.

We recognize institutions where the language of instruction is English. Please submit a 100-Level English Exemption form to transferoptions@humber.ca. If you have submitted your conferred degree transcript through ontariocolleges.ca, a Student Mobility Advisor will be able to access it directly. No fee is required for an exemption.

For General Electives, the last course to which transfer credit applies is normally GNED 101: An Introduction to Arts and Sciences. For example, if a student qualifies for two General Elective transfer credits and is in a program that requires two General Elective courses and GNED 101, the student would still have to take the GNED 101 course to satisfy the program requirements; in this case, only if a third transfer credit is granted, would an exemption from GNED 101 be granted.

General Education (diploma level) courses are intended to train graduates to be analytical thinkers and effective communicators in whatever career they have chosen. For more information and course offerings, please visit General Elective courses.

Breadth Electives are designed to broaden and deepen the expertise of degree graduates by exposing them to knowledge, ways of thinking, and methodologies outside their areas of specialization. For more information and course offerings, please visit Degree Breadth Elective Info - Humber College.

Recognition of credit from a lower-level credential (diploma, advanced diploma or degree) into an Ontario Graduate Certificate is not permitted. To transfer credit(s) into an Ontario Graduate Certificate students can only use credits from another Ontario Graduate Certificate, a Master's program or PHD level.

If the courses are at the same credential level: e.g., diploma to diploma, simply contact your Program Coordinator to discuss the possibility of a course substitution. If the course substitution is approved, they would then create a Student Action Form (SAF), and a Records Advisor will handle your request.

Humber does recognize diploma to degree individual transfer credit requests for some courses. The minimum grade requirement is 65% (C+).

* Some programs may require other minimum grades. Please see" Are there minimum grade exceptions?" for more details.

The overall GPA in the related diploma program must be a minimum of 65% in order to be eligible for the degree block transfer. Applicants must also possess the required English and Math courses. Please visit the pathways module database to learn more.

If you do not meet the block requirements, you may be eligible to apply for individual transfer credits for the Liberal Arts & Science Breadth Electives if you have a course grade of 65% or more. Please email transferoptions@humber.ca for more details.

There will not be an admission test to get into the degree program from the diploma.

All applications received on or before February 1 will be given equal consideration in the admission process. Post-February 1 applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis depending on the availability of space in the program.

Students may be eligible to apply for individual transfer credit if they don’t meet the block requirements. Please contact transferoptions@humber.ca for more details.

Please note: Not all academic schools at Humber grant degree level credit for diploma level course.
