Transfer credits & letter of permission
As a Faculty of Arts & Science student, you may be eligible to receive transfer credits for courses taken at other universities. Refer to the information provided by the Faculty of Arts & Science for instructions on how to apply.
Once you’ve been accepted to your exchange program, you must complete the Faculty of Arts & Science Exchange Transfer Credit course in Quercus.
Are my courses eligible for a transfer credit?
Many courses at international universities have been mapped to U of T credit equivalents or exclusions.
Seek guidance from a Rotman Commerce academic advisor if you’re hoping to use transfer credits to satisfy degree or specialist requirements.
Upon receiving admission from the host institution, you will complete the Course Pre-Assessment Request Form (for RSM-themed courses only).
Letter of permission
Students can apply for a Letter of Permission to receive transfer credits by taking courses at another institution within Canada. Please see information for this process on the Transfer Credit Office website and the application deadlines for each session.
A Letter of Permission allows students to receive a course assessment before taking a course at another institution within Canada. Letter of Permission is often required in order to enroll at a Canadian host institution.
If they miss the application deadline for the Letter of Permission, students can apply for a Post-Admission Transfer Credit. In this case, students cannot receive a course assessment before taking a course at a Canadian institution.
Rotman Commerce students who are not participating in the UofT Exchange program may only apply for and receive Letter of Permission transfer credits for courses that are not core required courses for their Rotman Commerce program.
Letter of Permission transfer credits may be used towards any elective courses included in their degree/program requirements.
